The Best of SF Comedy Competition presents a hilarious April Fools' show this Saturday at the Marin Center.
Headliner Mike Baldwin simply goes out night after night and delivers top notch comedy. His style is instantly likable, entirely personal and it highlights his attention to detail. His material is crisp and efficient and he supplements that material with subtle but perfect facial expressions, vocal inflections and a genuine smile. Winner of the Seattle International Comedy Competition, Baldwin has three comedy albums: “Bees Can Taste With Their Feet”, “Front To Back”, and “#1 Top Selling Best Comedy Special EVER!!”, all of which shot up the charts online.
Other performing comics: Marcus Williams; Candy Shaw; Cathy Zao
This is one of the best comedy line ups you will see all year!
