The San Francisco International Comedy Competition is underway! I was a judge at last night's round at the San Francisco Jewish Community Center. I actually got tired of laughing.
Particularly awesome was John Hastings of Toronto. I urge you to come out and watch these funny people as they battle to become "San Francisco's #1 Comedian"

We can all use a good laugh, and these comedians have proven themselves competitively laughable. Treat yourself and come out for at least one of these seven stellar nights of comedy. Seriously.
