Nato's Comedian Bio
|
| Bio | San Francisco native Nato Green is a brainy, liberal, Jewish stand-up comedian who entertains audiences at clubs, theaters, and benefits. He performs regularly with acclaimed political comedian Will Durst and was featured in SF Sketchfest 2008. Nato’s comedy has been heard on KSRO 1350AM and Green960AM, and through his blogs on Huffington Post. Nato is the Official Comedian of Stephen Elliott's Progressive Reading Series, where he has performed with such literary greats as Jonathan Franzen, Daniel Handler, Jane Smiley, Andrew Sean Greer, Tobias Wolff, and Michelle Tea.
Nato has established an SF comedy institution popular with comics and audiences alike in Iron Comic®, his Iron Chef-spoofing game show, profiled in the San Francisco Chronicle. In Iron Comic®, 5 comedians rush to write a routine in 10 minutes from topics suggested by the audience. He also produces Laughing Liberally Local 415, an ongoing political comedy showcase, and the New Jew Revue, the nay-punim of Jewish stand-up. | | Website | natogreen.com, ironcomic.com | | Influences | Bill Hicks, Eddie Izzard, Greg Proops, Jon Stewart, Stephen Colbert, Dave Chappelle, and Patton Oswalt. |
