Admission: $15 General, $13 Advance, $12 Student/Senior
Our favorite LA-based comedy duo HOI is back to wreak havoc on the SF Bay Area with their killer long-form improv. Eugene and Rene take a single suggestion from the audience and use it to create an hour of comedic scenes that will explore a world of characters, twists, and hilarity. These guys will blow you away in this fully improvised show based on interviewing YOU, the audience.
HOI is a long form improv comedy duo from Los Angeles, CA, bringing the funny from the Upright Citizens Brigade Theatre (the former training grounds of Amy Poehler, Aziz Ansari, Charlyne Yi, Derrick Comedy, Aubrey Plaza and more!) to the San Francisco area through an array of different scenes and characters based on audience suggestions.
What people are saying about Upright Citzens Brigade:
"When 'SNL' and 'The Daily Show' need comics, they turn to the Upright Citizens Brigade." Larry Getlen, New York Post
"Experiencing truly brilliant improv comedy is like sitting in front of a really smart roller coaster with no stretches of straight track. Right now in America, no one is offering a more exhilarating ride than the Upright Citizens Brigade."
Bust Magazine
"Witty, irreverent, and conceptually ambitious." The Onion

TASTE BETTER WIT
Bindlestiff Studio presents sketch comedy with condiments....
TASTE BETTER WIT
Originating from the bowels of Bindlestiff Studio, TASTE BETTER WIT is a collective of former Filipino American law enforcement officers who met each other by chance in a dingy alley of Sixth Street while breaking up the workings of a secret meth lab. After several rounds of celebratory beers and tearful confessions, a performance group was born out of the necessity of pointing out injustices in a corrupt system of the sketch comedy hierarchy.
CAST: Rob Trinidad, Manny Cabrera, Yato Yoshida, Joe Cascasan, Dennis Rodis, Andrea Almario, Susanna Yu, Jamie Nallas, Tatianna Dayers, and Melvign Badiola. Directed by A.S. Manalo & Yato Yoshida.
In Partnership with Kearny Street Workshop, Bindlestiff Studio, APICC, and AATC
