| Bio | Since December 2003, CLUB CHUCKLES, the monthly comedy night in residence at San Francisco’s Hemlock Tavern, has presented a harrowing, dazzling array of stand-up, sketch, musical comedy, and sometimes films & videos, mixed together with live music and bands, in a rock club setting. Club Chuckles is an unholy, bated-breath mess of loving, loathing, orgasmic hilarity, painfully uncomfortable liminal moments, existential stuntwork, rank professionalism, seasonal amateuriusm, unannounced lafftracks, and a lot of other stuff you had no idea you’d ever sit still for until now. 10 drink maximum strongly enforced.
"Club Chuckles: a pivotal force in giving comedians opportunities to reach new audiences - people who regularly go to rock shows but rarely step into established comedy venues such as the Punch Line or Cobb’s." - SF Chronicle
