1st time at The DarkRoom,people seemed nice, but they warned us it was a bad show--maybe not such a gd idea. The opera singer was hilarious, the animal trash puppets very cute, Eloisa great, but when we got to the razor swallower, we left. Also didn't like the burlesque. Or much of Jason, until he did the entra'act with trombone and percussion. That was good, but non-verbal. I think the performers' judgement might have been clouded by the copious amts of alcohol they had drunk.Written on Mar 23 2012

April 19, 2012:
Allison Daniel (puppeteer)
Allison recently moved to Los Angeles from Chicago, where she worked with such companies as Chicago Dramatists, The Marriott Theatre of Lincolnshire and the Joffrey Ballet. In the spring of 2008, she was nominated for a Non-Equity Joseph Jefferson Award for her puppet design of The Nutcracker with The House Theatre of Chicago. Her puppets were featured in Puppetry International's 2009 40 under 40 issue.
Francine Dead (burlesque dancer)
Francine is the product of vaudeville, worker bees, and the American dream. Inspired by classic Hollywood glamour, this femme fatale intends to ignite you with delight! Brash and passionate Francine has an insatiable thirst for love, beauty and the unknown. This fire-eating burlesque performer may appear to have an icy exterior... but watch her work the stage and it is apparent she smolders within. You can see Francine perform from one end of the bay to the other.
Eloisa Bravo (comedian)
Crazy comedy is her thing! Eloisa is a spicy Venezuelan who addresses the urban issues of a single woman. Packed with energy and cuteness she will make you laugh, assuming you are lucky enough to understand her accent. She was a semifinalist in the 2011 Rooster T. Feathers comedy competition, and has performed at the Purple Onion, Rooster T. Feathers, the Palm Beach Improv, the Miami Improv and the Hollywood Improv.
Hernan Cortez (daredevil)
Wow!!! Is the only way to describe this amazing performer. Herman has more than 20 years amusing children and adults alike with his extraordinary act. He goes beyond what a human body can do, and he will show you the magic of the circus brought to the stage! This daredevil performs all over the Bay Area, and he is definitely a treat to the eyes and the mind!
Jason Gitlin (musician/comedian)
As a classically trained trombonist, Jason has a long and successful musical career. He has delighted the public with his sublime music for two decades! And now he is making it funny, too. Jason is mixing the act of music with comedy, creating a mind-blowing experience that will make you want to go back to high school, sign up for the marching band, and learn the trombone!
Sam Davidoff (comedian)
Sam is a Punch Line favorite, placed 2nd in the 2010 Walk the Plank Comedy Competition and could be Mark Zuckerberg’s long lost twin. David has headlined numerous colleges around the Bay Area, is the winner of the 2009 STC Young Comics Competition and was a “critics’ choice” in the North Bay Bohemian.
Brian Fields (host)
Dr. Fields' (yes, this guy has a Ph. D.) funny, outrageous, and shocking comedy has made him stand out in the San Francisco comedy scene, and drawn comparisons to Lenny Bruce (at least one person said so). He was a Battle of the Bay finalist in 2010, and has performed at the Purple Onion, Rooster T. Feathers and the San Jose Improv.
