San Francisco Comedy Competition: first finalists
San Francisco is an amazing city for comedy. You've heard of the "brain drain." Other countries around the world lose their best minds to the most attractive and interesting universities and big international companies.. Oxford, Stanford, Harvard, Google, Apple... I like to think of San Francisco as the chief culprit in the "comedy drain." And we've pulled another fine bunch in from all corners of the country with the first five five semi-finalists in the 2008 SF Comedy Competition. Ok, I haven't actually seen them, so I don't know how funny they are. But they're in good company with Brent Weinbach.

The
second preliminary round starts tomorrow, Wednesday, September 17th, at
UC Berkeley. They'll announce the other five semi-finalists on Sunday
in Santa Cruz at the good old Crow's Nest. Oh, it's a big deal.
They're competing for $25,000. Which is like five years salary for a
comedian.The crowds have been good. All is right in the world.
