Our shows are inclusive to everyone, from our performers to our audience members - gay, straight, lesbian, bi, trans, femme, butch, queer, bears, twinks, fag hags, fag stags, everyone is welcomed! Our shows have been so popular that they've been featured in the local papers such as: Bay Area Reporter, East Bay Express, SF WEEKLY, and San Francisco Bay Guardian.
We're kicking off our inaugural comedy festival with some of our most popular gay themed comedy shows that we've pulled off over the years!
