This is just the beginning of a new comedy series as we count down to returning to our Wine Garden. *Doors open at 7:30 PM | Show kicks off at 8 PM

Gary Anderson combines charm, introspection, and a mix of relatable and offbeat humor. Originally trying comedy as a bucket list item, he quickly fell in love, trading collegiate sports for laughter. After honing his skills in San Francisco, he now resides in Los Angeles and has written for The Ms. Pat Show. He’s showcased his talent on Live at Gotham, Acting Out (MTV), LaffTracks (TruTV), and Paste Magazine’s The Best Stand-Up, and is a three-time semifinalist on Stand-Up NBC.

CJ Koepp, a Wisconsin-raised, Oakland-based comedian, writer, artist, and climate activist, specializes in “dark woke.” She has performed at SF Sketchfest, opened for Nick Kroll and Dave Attell, writes for Reductress, and was awarded the 2024 Diversity in Comedy Writing Fellowship at Killing My Lobster SF.

K. Cheng has appeared at the Comedy Cellar, Comedy Store, and Gotham’s Comedy Club, performed at NBC Stand Up for Diversity, EDC (Electric Daisy Carnival), and San Francisco Sketchfest, and produces Crazy Funny Asians, Cosplay Comedy, The Khmers of Comedy, and Cardi Spelling Bee. He also contributes to The Lunar Times, From the Desk of Nerd Legion, and The 1990 Institute, and guest lectures on comedy at St. Mary’s College and Mills College.
