This Week In Bay Area Live Shows: Jan 25 – 31

Sunday, January 25th, 2009

Yet another busy week in the Bay Area. Well, I take that back, usually the week is pretty slow when it comes to shows and the weekend is chock full of awesomeness. However this week is wall to wall greatness all around. Particularly this coming weekend. If you are keeping track of the SF Sketchfest, then you know that Tim Meadows, Andy Richter, Bob Odenkirk, Mary Lynn Rajskub, Paul F. Tompkins, and Zach Galifianakis will be in town. Hopefully I’ll see some of you out at the Album Leaf show at the Bottom of the Hill this Wednesday. Have fun this week people!

This Week in Bay Area Live Shows: Jan 18 – 24

Sunday, January 18th, 2009

If for some strange reason you aren’t doing anything this weekend (or next weekend), it would behoove you to attend at least one of the Sketchfest shows going on all over San Francisco and Marin County. Not only will there be live shows of “The State”, “Fernwood” and “TV Funhouse”, but a slew of respectable comedians like Rob Corddry and Rob Riggle from “The Daily Show”, Martin Mull, Fred Willard, Jon Hamm, Tim and Eric, Robert Smigel, Triumph The Insult Comic Dog, Dana Carvey, Michael McKean, Janeane Garofalo, Zach Galifianakis and many more. A few friends and I will be going to a handful of these (mainly The Hills: A Staged Reading). Try and make it to one of the events, you can’t go wrong with improv and sketch comedy.
