For 18 years, this outdoor " open mic-without-a-mic " has welcomed poets, musicians, emcees, comedy, and everything in between. In the best of San Francisco tradition, everyone is welcome, all forms of expression, in any language. On the southwest streetcorner by the BART station, amidst the pigeons, under the stars. Support your local streetcorner, and come scream at the void with us!
Since 2011, San Francisco's hottest improv show remains " Your Fucked Up Relationship." - Improvised scenes inspired by your ridiculous, fucked up relationships. Everyone has had at least one. You tell us your story, we show you ours. You laugh, we laugh, and we all hook up at the end. KIDDING! Maybe. The show is fully improvised, using the audience's story as inspiration. We will ask for volunteers and volunteers only at the ticket booth.
I got my start in newspapers at the Albuquerque Tribune in the city where I was born and raised. Like many local news outlets, The Tribune no longer exists. I left daily newspapers after working at The New York Times for the business, foreign and city desks. Lucky for all of us, it is still here.
