Betsy Salkind | Free Esta Noche Comedy Thursdays | Mission Dist.

Comedy Bodega welcomes back Betsy Salkind (Tonight Show with Jay Leno, Showtime “Fierce, Funny Women.”) Betsy was also a staffwriter for “Roseanne” (the sitcom), and a jokewriter for Anthony Robbins.

She is best known for her squirrel impression and claims to hang her own drywall. The evening also features Yayne Abeba, a second generation Ethiopian, raised in Haight Asbury who pulls no punches in her comedy. Yayne has a one hour special on the Africa Channel, “Africa Laughs with Yayne Abeba.” Yuri Kagan and Mario Montes, two hilarious gentlemen, round out the bill.

Comedy Bodega producer Marga Gomez will host the 90 minute romp. Marga has been described as a legend, icon and even a doyenne of San Francisco comedy, but despite that she looks good.
