CoCoComedy Fans, join us on Saturday Oct 1st at 6pm at Rodgers Ranch in Pleasant Hill.
Doors open at 4:00 - Come and have a nice picnic before the show starts. Farmer John's culinary students will have food, beer and wine for you.
-There is very limited seating; please bring your own chairs.
Your headliner, Michael Mancini, (The Funniest Cop in America) is our most requested comedian. He is a 35+ year comedy veteran who has performed across the US and Canada, as well as on several cruise lines.
Your feature act, Jimmy Earl, is a Filipino- American who was born in French Canada. He is happily married to his college sweetheart, is a proud father of 2 sons and a busy dentist by day and a stand-up comic by night.
1/2 of all ticket sales Benefit the Rodgers Ranch Heritage Center.
Restored and maintained by an all-volunteer group, today Rodgers Ranch Heritage Center is home to an urban farm, the Norther California Herb Society, and the Succulent Society. The site serves as an educational facility and outdoor laboratory. Food is produced for homeless agencies, and there are a variety of classes and events year-round.
Michael was the winner of the “World’s Funniest Cop” title from 2003 – 2005, hosted by Jay Leno.
His show is high energy and action packed as he brings humor into all aspects of life when dealing with law enforcement from traffic stops, foot pursuits to arrests. “So funny you would expect him to be a FIREMAN!” – Steven Bloom, Executive Director Sacramento Comedy Festival
Jimmy's been seen on Amazon Prime- Laugh After Dark- Season 2...heard on Howard 101 on Sirius/XM Radio...he's had several stints on the Vegas Strip- Mandalay Bay, Planet Hollywood and The Las Vegas Hilton. He was selected for the 2009 San Francisco Comedy competition and has been in comedy tours in Canada, Saudi Arabia and Scandinavia. He's opened and toured with Russell Peters and Carlos Mencia...shared the stage with Norm McDonald, Jo Koy and George Wallace just to name a few. He has the knack of making even the most obscure situations seem hilarious.
Doors open at 4:00 - Come and have a nice picnic before the show starts. Farmer John's culinary students will have food, beer and wine for you.
We will have the historic farm and farmhouse open as well. Come and learn about the earliest residents of Pleasant Hill at this secluded and charming site – one of Pleasant Hill’s best kept secrets.”
