MORE LAUGHTER IN PACIFICA

MORE LAUGHTER AT PACIFICA’S OCTOPUS LOUNGE

You’ve seen these comics at The Punchline, Cobbs and 142 Throckmorton, but you have never seen so many consistently funny people together in one show. Pacifica’s Octopus Lounge has put together two shows every week in November and December, every Wednesday and Sunday at 9 p.m. Each show is guaranteed to appeal to everyone who loves to laugh and the cost is less than lunch in a good restaurant: $10.00
Paul Born is the originator of this comedy series and a man who plans to expand the comedy scene for the entire bay area by featuring the hottest stars nationwide in 2010. To preview his comedy series, he is doing twice weekly all-star showcases featuring the best in the Bay Area. In the past two weeks, Michael Meehan, Ross Turner and Mickey Joseph have graced the Octopus lounge stage.
Sunday evening, November 15, Born has booked Jeff Applebaum, one of the few clean comedians that never fail to make you laugh. Applebaum has appeared on the Craig Ferguson show and opened for major comedy legends like Robin Williams. He tells stories about being married and a family man with a new baby and an Asian wife who hates to cook. He is funny, irresistible and real. On the bill with him is Sam Arno , a typical French-Moroccan Jewish guy from Baltimore who is a master at twisting real life experiences into the absurd. Debby Campo whose saucy, edgy sense of humor appeals to everyone and has performed coast to coast rounds out the program with Lynn Ruth Miller, soon to become the last comic breathing to host the show.
On Wednesday, November 18, Born is headlining that nationally famous singer, actor, impressionist and comedian Jim Giovanni. It is rare to find a multi-talented local like Giovanni, a one-man-tour-de-force whose every appearance makes the show a rollicking success. Giovanni is joined by Sammy Obeid, who is the hottest performer in Northern California, fast on his way to the top. He is also young and very adorable with a head full of curls that will bring out the mother in us all. Lynn Ruth Miller will reminisce about driving then and now the many husbands she has sent to The Home, as a preview of the real, unglorified senior experience. The legendary TONY SPARKS will host this exciting show, one that promises to make you forget the clogged freeways, polluted air, foul water and impersonal meter maids that frustrate those of us trying to keep our hearts in the San Francisco Bay area without losing our zest for the life it inflicts upon us.
