The show was not as entertaining as I had hoped. Definitely not worth the full ticket price. Thank goodness we have goldstar to get discount tickets!Written on Nov 10 2008

Fun night--a wacky, brilliantly creative and inventive guy. Loads of hilarious characters, ranging from erudite to goofy shtick. Highly recommended. I, too, wish he'd come home to SF.Written on Apr 20 2009

It was brilliant to have Will Franken here in San Francisco again. I would like to say that this was one of the best comedy shows I have seen in a long time, except . . .Written on Nov 10 2008

Description
<p>The evening's 2 shows will each be different and feature classic bits as well as never-before-seen material.</p> <p>Here is just a taste of some of the new material Mr. Franken will be debuting: Don’t miss the re-emergence of the drunken Geico Lizard as he chides the foolishness which leads the unsaved to purchase high-cost car insurance! Don’t miss the presentation of the Humility Award and the touching homage to the beloved City By The Bay! Meet Finnegan Wakeford, the man who was born without a concept of temperature- forced to ask strangers whether or not he’s supposed to be cold or hot. Take a trip to the Hollywood of ten years ago when Tyler Taylor hosts 'Turner Classic Movies For Kids' featuring a night of the Matrix and all its manifold sequels!</p>
