About the Ticket Supplier: San Francisco Comedy College
Since 1999, the San Francisco Comedy College (SFCC) has been offering the best group and one-on-one stand-up comedy training in the San Francisco Bay Area. Although their focus is stand-up, improv and comedy writing, people tell them that they are very much Second City in Chicago--without the pesky snow or delightful odor of Lake Michigan.
