Best of the SF Comedy Competition Set for NVOH, 3/12

Best of the San Francisco Comedy Competition, hosted by Dave Burleigh, featuring Mo Mandel, Sadiki Fuller and Bethany Therese will be held at the Napa Valley Opera House on March 12, 2010.

Featuring Mo Mandel, who at only 28 years old, will start shooting a new Fox TV series, "Strange Brew," shortly after headlining this show. In the series, Mandel will play a somewhat developmentally challenged son of the owner of a struggling Colorado brewery in the TV series. His live comedy performance, however, is greatly based on the experience of growing up as just about about the only Jew in Booneviille, CA. Since making the finals of the 33rd Annual San Francisco Stand-Up Comedy Competition in 2006 and subsequently moving to Hollywood, Mandel has become quite the success story. In a short space of time, he hosted a VH1 pilot, signed a sitcom development deal with FX, appeared on "Chelsea Lately" and topped it all off by landing a Comedy Central special.

Joining Mo in the show will be another past finalist from the annual comedy competition, Sadiki Fuller, who was Thunder, the mascot of the Golden State Warriors before becoming a full-time comedian. Bethany Therese will round out the bill. Therese's unique, upbeat comedy style incorporates all aspects of performing. She has played venues around the nation and was named one of California's Funniest Females and was recently named one of the Funniest People in the OC!

Your host for the evening is Dave Burleigh, who has been entertaining audiences around the globe with his unique blend of comedy. His universal appeal and talent has landed him on various t.v. shows, premiere cruise lines, the biggest casinos in Las Vegas and in the boardroom of Fortune 500 companies. Dave has honed his skills as a master impressionist and possesses an arsenal of spot-on celebrity impersonations. His ability to incorporate this lost art form into his act guarantees the audience will be left wanting more. Burleigh has performed on stage with some of comedy's biggest stars including Robin Williams, Dana Carvey, Tim Allen and George Lopez.
