From Jesse: "I'm so proud to be hosting Maximum Funny, a comedy benefit for KUSP in Santa Cruz hosted by yours truly and presented by The Sound of Young America.
I basically just asked the funniest people I could think of to be in the show. Headlining is The Kasper Hauser Skit Club, who you may have heard of on this site. (That was intended as comic understatement, btw). Standup Brent Weinbach will be featured -- he's toured with The Comedians of Comedy and is in my book the funniest guy in the Bay Area and one of the funniest in the world. Opening will be Mary Van Note, who pushes standup into new and very odd directions, and is a UCSC graduate!
Of course I will be hosting the show, and if we feel like it, maybe Jim Real and I will do a Prank the Dean sketch.
Tickets are only twenty bucks, or eighteen for KUSP members. That's pretty fricking cheap for world-class comedy in the Scruz.
The show's Saturday, May 24th at the Kuumbwa in Santa Cruz. Buy your tickets online now, or at Streetlight Records in downtown Santa Cruz'
