An casual article from 1988 detailing the style and substance of Bay Area comedy legend Barry Sobel. Concise and informative, a nice window into scope of Sobel’s career.
Peter Hartlaub presents a slice of the San Francisco comedy scene from the 70s, 80s and 90s, featuring incredibly candid pictures and insightful commentary. Some performers highlighted: Dana Carvey, Robin Williams, Greg Proops, Margaret Cho, Brian Copeland, Will Durst and more. A very fascinating read.
