I was expecting more of a collaborative show; it turned out to be three standup comics. It had its moments, but I'm just not a standup comedy fan.Written on Sep 13 2007

I did not think that any of the performers were very funny. Their deliveries dragged, and they tended to drop their voices when delivering the punch lines.Written on Sep 12 2007

Bengt Washburn is a self-proclaimed unaccomplished Mormon. At 19, he was given a polyester suit, a ten-speed bike and a plane ticket to Seattle; for two years he pedaled up and down the hilly streets of Seattle and Tacoma, knocking on strangers' doors and bringing up religion. In 2001, he won the SF Comedy Competition.
Lisa Geduldig is a local comedian and comedy producer (Kung Pao Kosher Comedy, Funny Girlz, The George Bush Going Away Party) who comes up with these cockamamie shows.
About the Ticket Supplier: Kung Pao Kosher Comedy
Kung Pao Kosher Comedy was created in 1993 by accident by San Francisco comedian Lisa Geduldig, who went to perform in South Hadley, Massachusetts at what she thought was going to be a comedy club. Peking Garden Club turned out to be a Chinese Restaurant. After telling Jewish jokes at a Chinese restaurant, a conversation between Lisa and her old summer camp friend, Tobi Sovak, led to the creation of Kung Pao Kosher Comedy.
The event started out as a community service for all Jews who have ever been stuck on Christmas with nothing to do but hide under the covers, contemplate midnight Mass, or visit a Chinese restaurant... The audience has expanded to include Chinese-Jewish couples, interfaith ones, singles, families, gay people, straight people, undecided ones, those who are far from home, and just generally people who like smart comedy mixed with Chinese food.
