Hysterical, Historical San Francisco - Holiday Edition November 23, 2012

Fridays and Saturdays, November 23 to December 22, then every night between December 26 and December 31; all shows at 9:00 p.m.

In "Hysterical, Historical San Francisco - the Holiday Edition" - acclaimed comic Kurt Weitzmann pokes fun at everything from the Barbary Coast to the Haight Ashbury and does the impossible by making San Francisco funnier than it actually is. With his brash call-it-what-it-is humor, Kurt takes us on a refreshingly "incorrect" 60 minute journey around the City by the Bay. Experience all the culture shocks and aftershocks of a San Francisco transplant and learn that as bizarre as San Francisco was in the 1980's it was even stranger in the 1880's. History repeats itself, and if you don't believe us stay home and watch the History channel for 8 hours. Or take a trip back in time and find out how San Francisco became the strangest place on earth, laughing all the way.

Kurt Weitzmann, an award winning director and playwright, has been performing comedy for over a quarter century. His act has been seen at countless comedy festivals, clubs and colleges and well as on Comedy Central, and MTV. He began his stand up career at the infamous Holy City Zoo where Robin Williams, Dana Carvey, Rob Schneider, and Margaret Cho honed their craft. While in Los Angeles, Kurt worked with comedy luminaries Dave Thomas (SCTV), Patton Oswalt (Comedians of Comedy), Dana Gould (The Simpsons), Kate Flannery (The Office), and Tom Kenny (Sponge Bob Square Pants).

The SF Weekly calls Kurt a "...comic genius." "God, that's funny..." hoots The San Francisco Chronicle. Backstage West says Kurt "...takes Politically Incorrect comedy to the outer reaches of space."

Kurt's Premium Ticket holders enjoy reserved prime seating and complimentary concessions, plus a copy of his comedy CD, original archival artwork - beautiful photographs of San Francisco hand printed on holiday cards signed by the artist, and more. Due to dark themes and some euphemistic sexual content, the show is recommended for age 13 and over. See Kurt's show along with "Frisco Fred's Holiday Magic and More" and get 20% off.
