The Business January 15th 2014: The Vote For Edwin Li Edition


Vote for whoever you want in a San Francisco mayoral election, but you should always vote for Edwin Li in the election for which comic you would most like to high-five.

He is so very high-fiveable.

Edwin began working as a comedian at the age of 16, barreling through five minute open mike sets and hanging in the wings of the Punchline, picking the brains of any funnyman that would talk shop. His earnestness and shameless curiosity have made him a favorite with comedy veterans and club owners alike.



PLUS! All the way from Boston, Andrew Mayer

Andrew Mayer, a hotshot lawyer haunted by his childhood failures as a boy in pee-wee hockey, was charged with drunk driving and ordered by a judge to coach the worst hockey team in the league. He was reluctant at first (especially when all those crazy kids were on his limousine), but, eventually, he taught the kids how to play hockey like a duck would if it was really good at hockey. The team Andrew coached even made it to the championship game! And we all learned a little extra something about ourselves in the end. What I’m trying to say is: Andrew Mayer is a weird guy. With a quirky delivery and an offbeat sense of humor, he has quickly become a mainstay in Boston’s comedy scene.
OH HEY AND David Nguyen!

If you ask what made him want to be a comedian, he'll reply, "arrogance". Absurd or dark – David enjoys delving into every topic with a biting wit.

And Sacatomatoes own Nick Aragon! It’s gonna be a party! Not the political kind!

Your regulars will be there as well, Nato “Green PAR-TAY” Green, “Rebublicaitlin” Gill, PRESIDENT Sean Keane, Anna “Pinkogina” and Bucky “Senator”.

BYOBurrito. Choose your own filling. THAT’S DEMOCRACY IN ACTION.

The Business January 8th 2014: The TERRIFIED Edition

Holy Fuck! This week at The Business is gonna be just great. 

One of our very favorite people is gonna be here, and we could not be more Terrified of him. He's Dave Ross!

Dave is a comedian and storyteller in Los Angeles, CA. He is the host of the podcast Terrified on the Nerdist Network and a MOTH GrandSlam winner. You might have seen him on Tosh.0 with his sketch group, WOMEN, or heard him telling stories on KCRW. There is a 100% chance Dave wants to kiss or hug you.

We'll also be joined by the exceptional talent and hair of Andrew Holmgren!

Andrew Holmgren is one of the main contributors to San Francisco comedy collective Sylvan Productions, running the popular monthly showcase ‘Get Yucked Up’. He was named by SF Weekly as one of its top comics to watch for 2013 and has appeared on stages across the country including SF Sketchfest, Santa Cruz Fringe Fest, The S.H.I.T.S. and Giggles comedy fest as well as the Sacramento Comedy Festival, where he earned best of fest honors. He’s got great hair and loves sweaters.

Plus your Business regulars! "Scaredy Cat" Caitlin Gill, "Oh No!" Nato Green, "AK!"na Seregina and "BOO!"ky Sinister.

BYOBurrito and remember it's just as afraid of you as you are of it.

The Business January 1st, 2014: The Happy Birthday Colleen Edition


It's January 1st, 2014, but The Business isn't taking a day off, especially not when it's Colleen Watson's birthday! Yes, Clayton Valley High School alumnus-turned-Los-Angeles-living-room-resident Colleen Watson is back in the Bay and visiting the Business, and today is definitely the anniversary of her birth. We've also got an appearance from Kevin O'Shea, fresh off a triumphant week at Cobb's Comedy Club with John Oliver, and other special guests as well.

No Nato (he's out shopping for Colleen's present), but we've still got Anna, Bucky, Caitlin, Sean, *cake, *ice cream, Business-branded beer koozies, and lots of *party hats. Here's to 39 more wonderful years of Colleen - at least!
