featuring, Will Franken, John Hoogasian, Phillip Watson, Samantha
Chanse and hosted by Rusty Mahakian.

Will Franken was ranked as one of the Bay Guardian and SF Weekly's
best comedians of 2005 and the New York Times says "What elevates Mr.
Franken above your garden-variety comedian is an erudite wit and a
highly developed sense of the absurd" This will be Will's first East
Bay show after is Comedy Central Mainstage performance on January
30th. This is a unique opportunity to see a truly innovative
performer for under 6 dollars.

John Hoogasian has performed alongside Louis CK, Lewis Black, Sarah
Silverman, Dave Attell and Mitch Hedberg. There is no father to his
style.

Also performing are Phillip Watson, Samantha Chanse and hosted by
Rusty Mahakian.

This show was created in the spirit of "The Comedians of Comedy" in
the hopes of getting people out to see comedy for under 10 dollars.
