Ballot Buster: SF's special election standup comedy show
Event Information
Description
UPDATE: The Freeze, the hip-hop improv crew from Mortified SF & Oakland, will be joining us on June 2! Details below. Join some of SF's most ridiculous standup comedians as they riff on the local loco world of dueling ballot propositions, mayoral races, and judicial face-offs (aka a typical election in San Francisco).
Our show features:
Matt Gubser who's described as a “A true comedian…a laid-back dude with a bone-dry wit.” He was named “Comedian’s Comedian” in the 2014 Bay Area Stand Up Comedy Awards.
Irene Tu who was named one of the “Bay Area’s 11 Best Stand Up Comedians” by SFist, and one of 20 “Women to Watch” by KQED.
Dominique Gelin offers strong opinions on stupid things, -isms, and assholes. She's performed at SF Sketchfest and lives in Oakland.
Shanti Charan, a Bay Area native, who was recently named SF Bay Guardian’s “Best Comedian” in their Annual “Best of SF” edition. She was also awarded “Best Stand Up on the Way Up” by SF Weekly.
The Freeze, a collection of MCs, vocalists, and musicians who create improvised hip-hop comedy masterpieces. They're regular performers at Mortified SF & Oakland.
You'll laugh, learn, and maybe even cry tears of joy. We're not making any promises, except that the primary election is on June 5 and we're excited to bring the city together. In the meantime, check out our digital SF voter guide to get up to speed.
Doors open at 7pm. Come by early to grab a drink and check out HSAC's rock n' roll poster gallery before the show.
Ballot Buster kicks off at 8pm.
Thanks to Haight Street Art Center for providing free wine and beer (donations are welcome).
10% of ticket sales will be donated to the Haight Street Art Center.
Show up for SF and bring yo' friendz.
