Favorite Things of Last Night: Vitus (5/31/2012)

Dr. Dream @ Amnesia 

4/19. Showcase/Interview Show/Open Mic @ Vitus. 201 Broadway. Oakland. Free. 7:00-9:30PM. Featuring Bobby Joe Ebola and The Children MacNuggits, Chris Burns, Matt Louv and Chris Thayer. Hosted by OJ Patterson. Presented by Sylvan Productions

You are cordially invited to the Sylvan Showcase, a one-of-a-kind comedy carnaval in the heart of downtown Oakland. Hosted by OJ Patterson (he knows), the Sylvan Showcase provides ample introduction to the greater Bay Area comedy community. Following each act, a cool interview provides further jokes, elaboration and entertainment. 

This week’s spotlight performers:

Bobby Joe Ebola and the Children MacNuggits (humorist, satirical, catchy tunemakers)
Chris Burns (Sophisticated, sarcastic, sass).
Matt Louv (hilarious eloquence and frustration, Sylvan Productions)
Chris Thayer (man about town, man for all seasons, sardonic champion)

Also, accompanying the merrymaking is of course: you. All comedians, hobbyist, amateur or professional, are welcome to participate limited open mic happening from 7:00-8:15pm. Sign-up: 6:30pm. 

Of course, Vitus wouldn’t be Vitus without the food, drinks and pinball, available in abundance. Free show, cheap food, and cheap drinks is a no brainer.

So come, relax, hang out, participate, get involved and get in to it. 

Thank You.
