FREE ADMISSION!
“Joke on This!”
Stand-up Comedy Showcase
with your host:
GARY PENOVICH
and some of the Bay Area’s funniest comedians:
MICHAEL SLACK
A regular feature at the San Jose Improv, Michael has performed with some of the biggest names in the business, including Bob Saget, Richard Lewis, Brian Regan and Jeff Dunham. Surpassing over 100 comedians from around the country, Michael won the 2005 Rooster T. Feathers Annual Comedy Competition in Sunnyvale, California. In 2004, he appeared at the Gulf Coast Comedy Festival in Destin, Florida, and so impressed organizers that he was invited back to headline the 2005 Seaside event. Michael also topped the bill at the 2005 Big Island Comedy Festival in Kona, Hawaii.
DINA VACARRI
Dina is the laughter-packed snack of funny that you’ve been craving. As a child, Dina would stay up late at night listening to Bill Cosby albums, inspired by his ability to paint pictures for the audience. Dina’s own unique spin on reality is causing her to become more popular than a 12 year old Thai hooker in a sea of white male “tourists”. Dina has performed at clubs all over the US including the Improv and Caroline’s in NY, and The Funnybone in her native Pittsburgh. She is now settled in the Bay Area where she continues her quest to lose the 10 pounds she gained in 1996.
GRANT LYON
Oscillating between moments of hyperactivity and a laid back surfer attitude, Grant reveals his sixth grade personality on the stage. Growing up in a strict household with a large group of siblings who are brilliant, talented and great big show-offs, Grant discovered he could seek refuge in silliness. His funny skills, mired in his drive to be the center of attention, now enable Lyon to share the tales of his short life in his refreshingly unique voice.
DEE-ROB
Never sure whether to be teacher ‘s pet or class wise guy, Denise still gets in trouble for her sharp wit and sharper tongue. Wickedly funny, her sardonic outlook is worldy without being weary, and she is very happy to laugh first at herself. Most of all, Denise proves that not only can a woman be tough, she can be damn funny.
RICHARD ANDERSON
Richard is new to the comedy scene and has been making himself known throughout the bay area. A native of San Jose, he into the world during the “Summer of Love” era. Throughout his life, he has brought warmth and laughter to those around him. Rich’s comedy is based on daily experiences, observations and pop culture (especially when it comes to the 80’s).
