Featuring…

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. James was recently named by 7×7 Magazine as one of the comics to watch in San Francisco, and he does shows all around California. Check out his podcast Color(ed) Commentary on iTunes!

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.

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.

Showmentum presents the 3 Steves Summer Comedy Series at the Vineyard.

$35

Join us for standup comedy, vino and views, because the forecast is sunny and funny at 3 Steves Winery. Don’t miss some of the best comedians in the Bay Area for our third show of the summer.

Featuring

Brian is the creator, and host of Adulted, and a Bay Area comedian and writer. His biggest claim to fame is inventing the Spam filter so he’d have an excuse for not reading his parents’ emails.

Sergio is a stand up comic based in San Francisco, CA. He performs all over the Bay Area and produces Comedy Showcases. His edgy comedic style will shock you and make you laugh at the same time. No topic is too taboo for this rabble rouser. If if makes you squirm in your seat, he’s going to talk about it.

Bernadette Luckett started doing standup over twenty years ago in New York City after working as a professional model, a cookie packer, and a lab tech at a VD clinic. She gave up her apartment, put all her possessions in storage, and worked the road for two straight years, performing at comedy clubs all over the U.S. – from Alaska and Hawaii to Florida’s cruise ships. She has appeared on standup shows on NBC, Comedy Central, A&E, and MTV.

Bernadette segued from standup to sitcom writing and has been a writer/producer on several TV sitcoms, including – Living Single; Sister,Sister; Buddies (with Dave Chappelle), The Tracy Morgan Show, ROMEO! and Girlfriends.

Growing up in the humble mid-west, sometimes it can be hard to stand-out in California. That’s why Ryan Goodcase has taken to the mic to make his soft, awkward voice heard. Praised for his smart writing and dry delivery, Ryan has quickly made a name for himself in the Bay Area.

See why 7×7 Magazine named him one the 5 to watch Bay Area comics. He’s also a regular at Punch Line San Francisco and Rooster T. Feathers, and was just named Comedy Machine’s 2018 Tournament of Champions winner.
