SPOTLIGHT
Seven Minutes
to Glory
S.F. Comedy Competition
comes to San Rafael.
FOR THE PAST 40 years, the San Francisco Comedy Competition has been a bellwether of rising
comedic talent. Looking for proof?
The first year, Robin Williams came
in second. Other past participants
have included the likes of Dana
Carvey, Louis C.K., Ellen DeGeneres,
Marc Maron, Patton Oswalt, Paula
Poundstone and Silicon Valley’s
Jimmy O. Yang. This year there will
be two preliminary rounds on consecutive Saturdays, when the comics will
have seven minutes for their chance
at $15,000 in prize money and a shot
at stardom. The competition takes
place at the Marin Showcase Theater
in San Rafael on September 9 and 16.
