RISE SF - 2021 SFCDMA Gala
Event Information
About this Event
This year we are taking the SFCDMA Gala online! This special event will honor the resilience of our member associations and the small businesses they represent, as San Francisco looks towards better days ahead.
Throughout the hour-long celebration we will tell the story of our associations and their journeys over the past 12 months.
Our M.C. Keith Goldstein will be joined by local guest hosts and they will tour the following merchant corridors on foot, stopping in to speak with merchants along the way:
Balboa Village
Bayview
Castro
Chinatown
North Beach
Sunset/Parkside
Valencia
There will be plenty of laughs, much to learn and a few surprise guests along the way.
Speaking of laughs, we are excited to announce that we will be joined by Irene Tu!
Irene Tu is a stand-up comedian, actor, and writer. In 2017, the San Francisco Chronicle singled her out as an “artist on the brink of fame,” on the heels of being named one of the “Bay Area’s 11 Best Stand Up Comedians” (SFist) and one of 20 “Women to Watch” (KQED). She has performed at numerous festivals including SF Sketchfest, Comedy Central’s Clusterfest, RIOT LA, Bridgetown Comedy Festival, and Outside Lands.
Irene has opened for comedians such as Patton Oswalt, W. Kamau Bell, Brian Posehn, Anthony Jeselnik, Gary Gulman, Judah Friedlander, Hari Kondabolu, and Aparna Nancherla. You can see her on season 2 of “Take My Wife” and on VICELAND’s “Funny How?”
