SF-based production company PianoFight is hosting international comedian: Andrew Roberts new comedy show Hostel Comedy. This weekly event takes place Saturdays at 7pm, until April 25, 2015, and features comedians and backpacker alike performing original stand-up material, located at 144 Taylor Street, SF, Ca, 94102. Each week three local comics will perform while Andrew helps the newbie write his set, and then, at the end of the show, help this visiting tourist on stage to perform the first stand up set of their life. They have no idea what they're doing - Andrew knows exactly what he's doing. Tickets are free for this limited season so arriving early is advised.
