Note: It is possible that additional seats may be available at our table: If you are interested in attending, please contact the box office at 925-275-9005 (9am-4pm) and ask if there is still space available at the ‘Meetup’ table. If you are able to purchase a ticket, please drop Eve an email letting her know that you will be attending.
Enjoy the show!
Eve is our volunteer organizer for the night and invites you to join her for a performance of the Kung Pao Kosher Comedy show on Thursday, December 25.
As I noted in my initial email, this is a popular event - by the time I heard back from people, the dinner performance could no longer accommodate a group at the same table. I have confirmed that they can still accommodate a group for the cocktail performance at 8:30.
Headliner: David Brenner! (His first SF performance in over 15 years)
Also featuring Page Hurwitz, Dan Naturman, & Lisa Geduldig
What exactly is Kung Pao Kosher Comedy?
"Kung Pao Kosher Comedy was created by accident in 1993 by San Francisco comedian Lisa Geduldig, who went to perform in South Hadley, Massachusetts at what she thought was going to be a comedy club. Peking Garden Club turned out to be a Chinese Restaurant. After telling Jewish jokes at a Chinese restaurant, a conversation between Lisa and her old summer camp friend, Tobi Sovak, led to the creation of Kung Pao Kosher Comedy."
Open to everyone …
"Now in its 16th year, the event started out as a community service for all Jews who have ever been stuck on Christmas with nothing to do but hide under the covers, contemplate midnight Mass, or visit a Chinese restaurant… The audience has expanded to include Chinese-Jewish couples, interfaith ones, singles, families, gay people, straight people, undecided ones, those who are far from home, and just generally people who like smart comedy mixed with Chinese food."
- Cocktail show tickets are $42 and include vegie Egg Rolls and a non-alcoholic drink (price includes tax and tip)
- Beer or wine may be purchased at the bar
- Will Call available at 7:45; doors open at 8:00; show begins at 8:30 pm
