The Marvelous Story Go Round
May 22 @ 7:00 pm – 9:00 pm PDT
A night of hilarious true tales
Get ready to laugh, cringe, and nod in recognition as people take the mic to share their funniest real-life stories. We’re telling hilarious tales about first or worst anything – jobs, boyfriends, concerts it could even be both!
In the spirit of The Moth (but strictly the funny side), a lineup of comics will each tell a funny story about firsts or worsts—jobs, lover, car, marriages. Expect honesty, chaos, and comedy gold.
Then it’s your turn!
At the end of the show, anyone in the audience can jump up and share their own quick, one-minute story. The mic is open, the laughs are real, and the stories might just steal the night.
Dining Options
Beyond the Table will be on site with delicious dining options, along with Omega Road and New Vintage will be pouring your favorite local wines and hard spritzers. Come hungry, thirsty, and ready to laugh.
Drawing from her experience as founder and co-owner of Taste & Wander Charcuterie, Amanda expands beyond the board, bringing her signature hospitality and flavor to a broader, chef-led table.
Your Storytellers
Bill Schott
Bill is a SF Bay Area native who has performed in venues all over California, some big, some very small and some unique (a laundromat and a junkyard to name a few). He has also performed in clubs in Paris, Madrid and Tokyo. He is the youngest of 7 siblings and his comedy is based mostly on real events, except for the parts that are totally made.
Jeff Durban
Jeff spent a decade at Stryker convincing doctors that complicated medical equipment was actually very chill. It was not very chill. He has twin 18-year-old boys. He has not slept since 2006. When he’s not explaining blood analyzers to people who didn’t ask, Jeff is running, biking, dirt biking, mountain biking, doing triathlons, and restoring vintage cars — because apparently weekends are for suffering.
Faina Cherdak
Faina has done theater since high school, spent 2.5 years surviving the Meisner technique studio, and has done enough improv to talk her way out of almost anything. She’s performed at the prestigious Edinburgh Fringe Festival, but honestly, she’s just here because she loves to make people laugh. Faina firmly believes that even in life’s darkest moments, there is always a punchline waiting to be found.
Donna Smith
New to stand-up, but definitely not new to the microphone! After a lifetime of careers, adventures, and unforgettable moments, now it’s time to share the funniest stories yet. With quick wit, real-life humor, and a whole lot of personality, this comic proves it’s never too late to take the stage and make people laugh.
Juls Vistnes
As a corporate trainer in Europe, China, India, and North America, Juls Vistnes has made people crack up about crazy work stuff … meetings that make you wish you had done drugs with your coffee, clueless co-workers, crazy deliverables matched by even crazier bosses. Now, Juls globe-trots for fun. She has wild stories to tell, from chasing her iPhone across Madrid, to stopping rush-hour traffic in Bangalore, so sit back and enjoy the ride!
big Al Lopez
Big Al spent his formative years in Livermore. He wasn’t allowed to be the class clown in 1st grade. He couldn’t even be the class mime. You can’t get out of an imaginary box when you’re tied to a chair. After getting released from the bondage of education he’s been drawing caricatures at events over 40 years. He’s been bringing props, songs, poetry and juggling to comedy stages since March 2022.
Your Host
Brian Maggi
Brian is the creator, and host of Adulted, and a Bay Area comedian and writer. He left the high stress world of tech for the low wage life of standup comedy performing under the stage name Skip Everett. His biggest claim to fame is inventing the Spam filter so he’d have an excuse for not reading his parents’ emails.
He performs regularly around San Francisco including Cobbs, The Punchline, and Rooster T. Feathers. He has written for Chicago’s Second City, and co-created the underground humor magazine “In Formation.” He is a published author, and keynote speaker on innovation and creativity.
