HOST: Suzette Veneti
Veneti is a prominent drag performer, stand-up comedian, and show producer primarily based in the Sacramento and San Francisco areas. Known for blending drag artistry with sharp comedic timing, she identifies as a “comedy queen” who incorporates dancing, lip-syncing, and edgy humor into her performances. In addition to performing at major venues like Punch Line Sacramento, she has been instrumental in creating more visibility for LGBTQ+ performers in the Northern California comedy circuit by building her own stages when traditional ones weren’t readily available.
FEATURED COMIC: Shannon Murphy
She’s opened for comedians such as John Witherspoon, Greg Behrendt, Sheng Wang, Marcella Arguello, and Jesus Trejo. She was the runner up in the 2016 Rooster T Feathers comedy competition and has participated in the San Francisco Comedy Competition.
FEATURED COMIC: Marcus Williams
Marcus Williams is a stand-up comedian cleverly disguised as a structural engineer—because health insurance doesn’t come with a two-drink minimum. A finalist in the 2023 San Francisco International Comedy Competition (he didn’t win, but he made everyone nervous), Marcus has hit the stage at the San Francisco Punchline, Cobb’s Comedy Club, and countless other venues that had a microphone, a light, and questionable fire safety codes. He’s performed in New York, Denver, and pretty much anywhere willing to exchange laughs for stage time. He’s funny as hell—like “laugh so hard you snort in front of a date”.
HEADLINER: Scott Capurro
Scott is an award-winning comedian, writer and actor from California, known for his politically and socially-themed stand up. His material is deliberately provocative, referring often to gay life and culture, politics, race and racism, and popular culture. Scott is a regular headliner at comedy clubs around the world, including The Punchline in San Francisco, The Comedy Store in London, The Comic Strip in New York and Yuk Yuks in Toronto.He has hosted several television programs, including That Gay Show and The Truth About Gay Animals, and played Aunt Jack in Mrs. Doubtfire. Scott is also a regular panellist on the topical discussion series The Wright Stuff, and a frequent guest on the Sarah and Vinnie Morning Show on Radio Alice 97.3FM KLLC, San Francisco
