San Francisco may not be a nationally recognized comedy capital — like New York or L.A. — but its hilarious history is no joke.
To give the region’s legendary laugh factories and joke tellers their due credit, Bay Area comics Nina G and OJ Patterson are releasing the book “Bay Area Stand-Up Comedy: A Humorous History” on Feb. 14.It was annoying that there hasn’t been a collection of San Francisco Bay Area comedy history until now,” says Patterson.G will appear for a book release event at The Beat Museum in North Beach on Feb.
For example, Mort Sahl cultivated a new style of comedy at North Beach’s hungry i. Don Novello first appeared live on stage as Father Guido Sarducci at North Beach’s Intersection Coffee House. And Robin Williams was first discovered performing at the Richmond’s Holy City Zoo. The two met at local open mics and eventually became pals in 2010. They quickly realized that they also shared an interest in the history of stand-up.
After talking to Marga Gomez about her history performing at The Valencia Rose, where Tom Ammiano, the “mother of gay comedy,” as well as many other LGBTQ+ comics got their bearings, G contacted Patterson about doing a deeper dive into the people and clubs that shaped the careers of the comedians that they admired.
They also saw to it that lesser known comedians made it into the book, such as Marga Gomez, Karinda Dobbins, Mary Van Note, Mean Dave and Tony Sparks .
