Exclusive Comedy Shows at 1st Street Wine Company

It’s a curated comedy experience starring Showmentum’s hand-picked favorite stand-up comedians from around the Bay Area and beyond. Enjoy the cozy, intimate setting of the 1st Street Wine Company as we transform this popular downtown Livermore wine bar into a laugh-filled escape. Shows feature skilled comics who have appeared at top clubs, in festivals, and on national television. Comedians are hand-picked from Showmentum’s pool of fan favorites, ranging from award-winning stand-up performers to up-and-coming local stars.

Seating is very limited to preserve the up-close, personal feel. Attendees can expect to enjoy top-tier stand-up comedy just a few feet from the performer, surrounded by friends and a top flight wine selection. This exclusive, close-knit ambiance turns each show into a unique and memorable evening of laughter and connection.

Brian Maggi

Brian’s self-deprecating wit includes his claim to fame as the inventor of the SPAM filter-an excuse he humorously uses for not reading his mother’s emails. He combines clever storytelling, sharp observational humor, and a warm, inviting style that makes audiences feel like they’re at a dinner party they never want to leave.

He began his comedy career as the humor editor for In Formation Magazine and wrote sketch comedy for Chicago’s legendary Second City. Brian is also the creator and host of the show Adulted and has released his first comedy album, Frenemies with Benefits, in October 2024, currently available on major streaming platforms.

Brian’s comedy draws heavily on his life experiences as a husband, father, and tech professional, offering relatable and insightful humor. He regularly performs in the San Francisco Bay Area at venues such as The California Theater, Silverado Country Club, and The Bankhead Theater, as well as hosting the monthly Laughs in a Glass comedy event in Livermore.
