The Root of Comedy with Natasha Muse February 1, 2011

NATASHA MUSE
Natasha Muse is pretty funny, for a comedian. She first climbed on stage about nine years ago when she began working at AsiaSF as "Ginger." All her friends claimed she was much too shy to be a good performer, and the fact that they were kinda right didn't stop her from trying it anyway, and sorta proving them all wrong.

Now she's moved from lip-synching into stand-up comedy, which is a pretty big leap, if you think about it. And since that leap she has created what some people refer to as a 'buzz' in the San Francisco comedy scene, which she's just going to go ahead and take as a compliment.

Natasha has performed all over the Bay Area, including the Punchline, the Purple Onion, the Dark Room, Castagnola's and the Actors' Theatre, where she produces and hosts "A Funny Night for Comedy" on the second Sunday of every month. Natasha is the winner of the 2010 Battle of the Bay competition, and is almost definitely at least the second-funniest transsexual you know.

As if that weren't enough, these 4 comedy savants have Natasha's back:

KATIE COMPA
Katie is a member of the 5 Funny Females tour, and was a finalist in the 2007 Battle of the Bay Comedy Competition and a semifinalist in the 2009 California's Funniest Female Competition. She performs regularly on both coasts.

KRISTEE ONO
Kristee is a San Francisco icon. Asian from an early age, she ate her first Burrito before most babies figure out how their lungs work. She runs the Ladies Night at the Brainwash, has performed at clubs all over the Bay Area and has attempted many murders using The Secret.

JASON ARMENIO
Producer of "All The Way Live" as well as countless professional and college sporting events.

hosted by RED SCOTT
Ending an unbroken 26 year streak of defeat, in 2010, Red won the Rooster T Feathers Amateur Comedy Competition, beating out 140 comedians. More recently, Red performed in the 2011 San Francsico Sketchfest.
