We've got a great show for you this Saturday May 4th benefiting Passion to the Streets and featuring some of the best comics in the Bay.
Passion to the Streets Inc is a non-profit organization that supports children and families transitioning from homelessness to permanent housing, by providing basic needs, encouraging advocacy and promoting community awareness, education, collaboration, and support, within Central Contra Costa County.
Your Headliner for the evening is Jeff Rick Pulido.
You may have seen Rick on HBO Latino Slam,
Comedy Central Comedy Quickies Que Locos on Gala Vision, or Improv Live on A&E,
Like most comedians, he will try to make you laugh through his observations of life.
Unlike most comedians he's constantly reinventing himself on stage - He won't reach out to you for understanding – he will drag you in to his own world and make you crazy enough to understand the language in that planet.
Your Feature Act for the Evening is Nick Larson
Nick is a multi-faceted, highly-entertaining individual with a comedic style that ranges from animated voices to quick-cutting crowd work. Nick is also a family man, with a fiancé and two beautiful children. Unfortunately, for that family, Nick mines them for comedy gold. Turning real events into jokes that will have you crying with laughter. With a mix of material around kids, relationships, his take on single life, and growing up in the rough, and tough, Stockton, California - delivered with an animated tone - Nick has a little something for everyone.
Rounding out the evening are Bay Area Favorites Natasha Vinik and Victor Pacheco
Natasha is fast becoming a favorite in the Bay Area comedy scene. She’s the first to do stand-up in virtual reality, and with a mother from Peru and a Jewish, South African father - her unique perspective and experience makes her comedy fun, frightening, and falafel. Minus the falafel. She's allergic.
Victor is larger than life and larger than most comedians, yet he brings an unmatched energy to the stage to tell his real-life funny stories and observations. “Meester” Pacheco’s personal experiences as an educator, married man, and unhealthy-lifestyle-choice-maker fascinates audiences across the West Coast. Vic’s quick wit, exceptional one-liners, and warm personality have made him a favorite at comedy clubs, colleges, and theaters. He has worked alongside nationally touring titans of industry including Paul Rodriguez, John Witherspoon, and Josh Wolf. Victor regularly performs for Veterans of Foreign Wars and takes pride in entertaining the troops.
