Tim Lee | CANCELED: “Nightlife on Mars” Comedy Night | SF

Comedy Lineup: March 7, 2013

Tim Lee – Tim wasn’t supposed to be a comedian. A biologist by training, he graduated magna cum laude from UC San Diego with honors in biology. He went on to complete his PhD at UC Davis. He spent years developing simulation and analytical models of population dynamics before he discovered that this bored him to tears. When he tried comedy for the first time the tears stopped. Tim has become an underground sensation with over 4 million views on his YouTube videos. Piggybacking that success, Tim took the show on the road selling out shows from New York to Sydney. Audiences hungry for comedy that is smart and funny flocked to the show. Lee’s comedy uses scientific phenomena and tools to explain everything from the hair that collects on a bar of soap to how his standards drop rapidly with abstinence. Tim has performed for universities across the country, companies such as Johnson and Johnson, Genentech and Microsoft and at venues like the Venetian, the Punch Line and the Improv.

Roman Leo – Roman’s brutally goofy and blisteringly silly absurdist comedic sensibility is embraced by everyone from nerds to weirdos. Inspired by nice-guy-subversive-rebel-types he travels back and forth inducing laughter from San Fransico to Chicago and beyond.

Amir Malekpour – Amir Malekpour is a Comedian, writer, and producer of “I’m Getting Too Big For This”. Amir is a regular performer at clubs around California (San Francisco Punch Line, Cobbs Comedy Club , San Jose Improv ,Rooster T Feathers ) and festivals around the United States (SF Sketchfest). He was a finalist in the Urban Comedy Competition 2006 (3rd) and Twisted Biscuit Competition 2007 (2nd). His comedy ranges from intellectual to the absurd, always self reflective and honest. He mixes high energy,a unique perspective, friendly nature,and smart writing to cover such topics as politics, animals, family,relationships, arts, sciences, health, and everyday quirks.

Kate Willett – Kate is a San Francisco based comedian and actress. She is not socially awkward, those were just jokes, so stop saying that, ok? She has appeared at venues such as Cobb’s, The Purple Onion and Tommy T’s and you can currently find her at comedy showcases all throughout the country. She’s also the co-host of the Comikaze Lounge a brand new monthly showcase of San Francisco’s hottest comics.
