Kick off your weekend with this First Friday comedy showcase featuring the best up-and-coming comedians in Northern California and beyond!

About the performers:

DEREK SHEEN

Derek Sheen is a cuddly mess of insecurities and a gifted, one-of-a-kind storyteller. His ability to mine humor from the dark, humid corners of the human condition has made him a cult favorite of comedy nerds around the globe.
Despite a lack of television or film credits, he has amassed a pretty loyal fan base touring with comedy legends (name-drop alert!) Brian Posehn, Patton Oswalt and Janeane Garofalo.
Derek Sheen has released four critically acclaimed albums on Minneapolis based Stand Up! Records, with Grammy Winning producer Dan Schlissel.“Derek Sheen is a goddamn delight. So smart and funny it makes me mad. Tiny Idiot? More like Giant Genius”-Brian Posehn“Derek Sheen has the uncanny ability to take mundane events and turn them into over-the-top comedy”- PASTE Magazine
"You can feel the audience sort of hold its breath whenever he starts a new bit, anticipating another highly personal confession or emotionally transparent diatribe...As often as his crowd seems to brace for impact, they spend more time howling at his audacity." -CHICAGO READERsocials:instagram: @dereksheen666threads: @dereksheen666tiktok: @therealdereksheenclips:https://www.instagram.com/reel/DS2c3IcFYlg/?igsh=aHNqNnlrM3JtMGJ3
