A 1997 graduate of Berklee College of Music in Boston, he has been playing since his early years and since, hasn’t stopped changing the face of jazz. He has during his career played live with and recorded on the projects of such esteemed artists as Jon Faddis, Branford Marsalis, Alex Acuna, Giovanni Hidalgo, Horacio “El Negro” Hernandez, Richie Cole, David Garibaldi, Tom Petty, Steve Earle, Stevie Nicks, Sheryl Crow, Karl Denson, Sugarhill Gang, Dana Carvey and most recently, John Mellencamp.

James Mwaura is a standup comic based in SF. Born to a German mom and Kenyan father and raised in the South, James likes to makes fun of white people but also enjoys a PampleMousse La Croix from time to time.

Brian Maggi, Your Host
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.
Jason Cole
Oakland California comedian Jason Cole hit the comedy ground running by taking 1st place in the first competition he ever entered, winning a feature spot opening for comedian and TV star John DiResta at the Orinda Theater. Jason recently performed at the Chicago Nerd Comedy Festival as well as at many of the legendary San Francisco Bay Area clubs such as the Punch Line and Cobb’s. His quick-witted, self-deprecating style finds humor and laughs in all the dark corners of his life and the crazy life around us.

Featuring
Alyssa Westerlund
Alyssa Westerlund’s sweet, innocent looks belie her wicked sense of humor and spot on delivery. She inspires women and melts men, like toy soldiers in the microwave. Alyssa’s comedy will rip your guts out, tear your heart to pieces, grab you by the genitalia and not let go until you’re in stitches.
Paul Conyers
Paul has performed in clubs all over the country and was selected to participate in SF Sketchfest 2019. He recently took 1st place in the 2019 World Series of Comedy Sacramento satellite and will advance to the Main Event in September for the third consecutive year. Paul is absurdly tall and may become confrontational if you claim to know more about Harry Potter than he does.

You can come as early as 5:30 for the show. There will be wine by the glass and bottle for sale before and during the show. Also, we will have food available for sale from one of the many great food trucks or catering services around Livermore.
Is the show outdoors?
Yes, and even though Livermore can be extremely hot during the day, it cools off a lot at night once the sun goes down. Sometimes it can be a little windy. We recommend bringing a jacket or fleece for the evening.
Is food available for sale?
Yes, there will be a food truck on site starting at 5:30pm when the gates open.
What about parking?
There’s plenty of free parking in the lot and in back.
What about traffic?
Look ahead before heading out. Sometimes traffic on Tesla road gets backed up from people avoiding 580. Taking Patterson Pass to Greenville road can get you around the frustrating bottleneck.
Can you buy tickets at the door?
If tickets are still available the night of the show, we will be selling them on site. You can always call 3 Steves at (925) 364-4889 or contact us via the Showmentum Facebook page http://facebook.com/showmentum.

This Mother’s Day weekend, why not get mom something she can really use – like some laughs, wine, and a night out with friends!
ALEXIA JACKSON believes “It’s time for mothers to COME OUT!..what the hell – everyone else has!..” and tell the truth about the impossible and humbling journey of raising kids, by forewarning the next generation – and validating the current one.
With the last of her three kids off to college, she has returned to stand-up, having previously performed at San Francisco’s Cobb’s Comedy Club and The Punchline, and all over the Greater Bay Area including Trek Winery, Crooked Vine, Backstage Wine Café and Sweetwater Music Hall, to name a few.
Audiences love supporting her hilarious comedy as she makes her way to Los Angeles to fulfill her dream of performing on The Ellen DeGeneres Show, in a “Go Big or Go Home” effort to prove… there’s life after parenting!
Showmentum is excited to announce a new partnership with 3 Steves Winery. The forecast is sunny & funny with a 100% chance of laughs this summer in the Livermore Valley. There will be four shows with new acts every months. Tickets are currently on sale for the May 10 show at 7:00 pm. You can find them here.
