Lisa Geduldig and El Rio Present...
Comedy Returns to El Rio!
Comedy Returns to El Rio! is a popular monthly comedy show (every 3rd Thursday of the month) co-produced by Kung Pao Kosher Comedy's Lisa Geduldig and El Rio. This month we will celebrate our 8th anniversary! The show takes place at El Rio in San Francisco's Mission District and showcases an eclectic, multicultural mix of intelligent, progressive comedians from the Bay Area and beyond.
The 8th Anniversary Show takes place on Thursday, May 18 and features Dan St Paul, Eloisa Bravo, Tessie Chua, Justin Lockwood, and Lisa Geduldig.
Dan St. Paul grew up in San Francisco's Mission District and moved to LA where he appeared on several episodes of An Evening at the Improv, numerous shows on VH-1, MTV, and Comedy Central. He has opened for Jerry Seinfeld, Natalie Cole, Smokey Robinson, and others. He appeared in the movie "Flubber" with Robin Williams and signed a recording deal with MCA records. His CD, "Natural and Good for You" contains one the most requested comedy pieces on radio, "The First Baseball Game." He also is the star of his own one-man play, "Outer Mission, Middle Class - The Comic Diary of an Immigrant's Son." Corporate clients include Hewlett Packard, IBM, Intel, Nations Bank, Philips Magnavox, Chevron, and Blue Cross. Dan is armed with a Bachelors Degree in Italian from UC Berkeley, a teaching credential from SF State, and a Masters Degree in special education, and the majority of Dan's material comes from being a suburban husband and father and dealing with the frustrations of everyday life. He lives in Foster City with his wife and son. www.danstpaul.com
Eloisa Bravo started her comedy career soon after she discovered she couldn't have children and a subsequent divorce. She holds nothing back and derives her material from real life, exploding with energy on stage. You'll notice her immediately for her Venezuelan accent and highly expressive performance; yet it's the nature and intensity of her material that will stick with you, with its unique perspective on the issues affecting urban, single women. Packed with energy and cuteness she will make you laugh, assuming you are lucky enough to understand her accent. She has performed at the San Francisco Punchline, the Purple Onion, Rooster T. Feathers, as well as the Palm Beach, Miami, and Hollywood Improvs. She has won several comedy competitions in the Bay Area and produces comedy and variety shows including Trainwreck Cabaret and Cheaper Than Therapy. www.eloisabravo.com
Tessie Chua is one tell-it-like-it-is kinda lady. She amazes audiences with her highly acerbic, yet insanely sensitive point of view on daily life. Chua stomps onto the stage flinging jokes left and right, immediately dispelling stereotypical myths concerning Asian American women. Short, angry and clever, she is a self-appointed spokesperson. While fulfilling her sacred duty to set the record straight with the "real truth" about Asian Pacific Americans, she welcomes you into her world where everything ends up intensely funny and then gets even more weird. Chua has rocked comedy audiences from NY to California and has shared the stage with Robin Williams, Robert Schimmel, Brian Copeland and Tom Rhodes. She faces the audience, head on, with a take-no-prisoners stance.
Justin Lockwood is a San Francisco Funny Fest champion and was featured at Comedy Day in Golden Gate Park. He is the host and producer of Comedy Rocks at Rock Wall Winery and performs regularly at clubs, theaters, and events around the Bay Area and beyond. He has written and performed multiple plays and monologues. His 6 year old son is the funniest person he knows.
