See Paco Romane perform at this legendary show!
I am very honored to be asked to perform in this show! Tuesday November 4th will be my first time doing comedy at the Mark Pitta and Friends show. This show is legendary because of all of the great comedians that have performed in it. You should definitely come check it out!
The Bay Area in the ’80s was a hotbed for live stand-up, with a dozen all-comedy nightclubs, including five in San Francisco alone, the city helped launch the careers of legends like Robin Williams, Ellen DeGeneres, Whoopi Goldberg, Bobcat Goldthwait, and Dana Carvey.
Comedian Mark Pitta also got his start in San Francisco in the ’80s, and for the past decade he’s been carrying on the Bay Area comedy tradition as the host and producer of Mark Pitta & Friends Tuesday Night Comedy at Mill Valley’s Throckmorton Theatre. Pitta says the idea sprung out of necessity; he was fired from his gig as morning host for KTVU and needed something to do. He chose Tuesday nights because it’s a day when most comedians are in between gigs. Each week Pitta books a mix of young up-and-comers and established headliners, then serves as the “Dean Martin” of the show, warming up the audience and riffing in between acts on whatever’s on his mind.
Add a few good laughs to your life! Join us for Tuesday Night Comedy with Mark Pitta & Friends. Mark Pitta hosts an evening where established headliners and up-and-coming comics can drop by and work on new material. You may see five comics, or an improv group or a comedy video or even a scene from a new play in progress….come join us Tuesdays at 8pm and find out!
