It’s all local comics! Sure, these folks might not be interviewed on WTF in the near future, but they will probably tell more jokes that are specific to your San Franciscan sensibilities, like “what is the deal with gum on the sidewalk” and “why are people in their mid-to-late 30′s in love with Sutro tower?” Plus, bragging rights. In 10 years you can say you saw them all before they had failed sitcoms.

It’s only $7 at the door and if you’re not ready to laugh the cover includes enough free PBR to make anyone funny.

Edit: It wasn’t my intention to trash these comics or Uptown Almanac, if that’s what came across. I was making some probably poor-taste jokes about careers in stand up comedy in general (too much listening to Mark Maron). I sincerely apologize if this was taken that way. We have supported these comics and this event before and think they are great. I will be there. Needless to say, I will not be performing comedy.

You should totally go to this and support laughs: Uptown Almanac is throwing a comedy bash featuring some of our favorite local stand-up comedians, including Sean Keane and Chris Garcia, at the Roxie tomorrow, Tuesday May 10th.

It’s only $6.50 and there will be lots of complimentary PBR to go around! So if you drink six, that’s like a $3 value. Starts at 7:30pm. We’ll be there, so if you want to take out the entire Mission blogging community all at once, that’s your chance to strike.

Presale tix are available here.
