Producers Anne and Jon Fox of San Rafael take great pride in bringing their legendary event to their home town each year.

For 2017, they will be presenting two preliminary round shows on consecutive Saturdays (9/9, 9/16) so fans will have the opportunity to enjoy the entire field of amazing talents vying for $15,000 in prize money and untold glory. Each contestant will perform their very best five to seven minute set.

Past participants in this important showcase include the likes of Dana Carvey, Louis C.K., Ellen DeGeneres, Moshe Kasher, Marc Maron, Patton Oswalt, Paula Poundstone and the fast rising Jimmy O. Yang.
