Free Stand-up: Comedy & Cocktails | North Beach

Submitted by the Event Organizer

San Francisco’s free weekly stand-up showcase of local comedians. Comedy & Cocktails is the opportunity to experience San Francisco’s thriving stand-up scene at the legendary Purple Onion, where established comedians try new things and hone their material.

Headliner: Nato Green
San Francisco native and Huffington Post blogger Nato Green continues the tradition of hard-hitting Jewish comedians like Lenny Bruce, Mort Sahl, and Joe Lieberman. Nato is one-third of Laughter Against the Machine, “the brainiest, most literate comedy tour” (East Bay Express) with W. Kamau Bell & Janine Brito, whose sold-out Bay Area shows “touched a nerve” (SF Chronicle). Nato is the creator of Iron Comic, the Iron Chef-spoofing hit comedy game show that packed houses at SF Sketchfest four years running and the Bridgetown Comedy Festival in Portland, Oregon in 2010 & 2011. Daniel Handler, aka Lemony Snicket said Nato is, “Righteous and hilarious, bracing and a hoot, Nato Green is like finding a shot of bourbon at your co-worker’s stupid vegan potluck.”
