No existing structure has such stature in the history of San Francisco's bohemian comedians, and its subterranean walls echo each Wednesday with laughter in this weekly professional stand-up showcase.

About Justin McClure:
Born and raised in bucolic Georgia, Justin McClure is more energy than a lightning bolt hitting a nuclear power plant and more likable than an Abba disco cd at a gay pride parade.
His affable presence and caustic rapid fire wit make him an immediate fan favorite wherever he goes. Displaying unique energy and an infectious personality, Justin is as original as he is hilarious.
With material ranging from obscure observations, logic, irony, energetic ramblings, and cerebral premises to personal life experiences, relatable subjects, and common topical premises, he's able to satisfy audiences wherever he goes.
A tireless performer, Justin performs and writes almost every day. His ethos is not only to make everyone laugh, but to have a fun time, and along the way evolve ideas through humor, recognize the absurdity of day to day life...and laugh about it. With an austere writing discipline, Justin is very committed to being interesting and engaging as he is funny, hilarious, and entertaining.
Justin has performed with the top talent in the industry including Dave Chapelle, Dave Attell, Jim Gaffigan, Kevin Nealon, Carlos Mencia, Dana Carvey, and Robin Williams, and has been featured in top festivals all over the country.
