The top 5 for Lodi:
AJ Finney
Kevin Shea
John Hastings
Mike Stanley
Stroy Moyd
Kevin finally placed. He is definitely my favorite! I saw most of the show last night. WOW!! We have 16 strong comedians. It's fun to sit back and see each one of them do their thang on stage. I went up first so I was able to relax and enjoy the rest of the show. It's fun to see these guys and one gal how fun off stage and chill and then see them come on stage and do what they do. Different styles, different voices. You see talented peeps who have obviously worked a lot on their acts. Competitions are tough because if you don't win or place the tendency is to think, what did I do wrong or the judges are not fair, or some other reason. Sometimes you just don't know why but after seeing last nights show I realize we are all very good and what ever happens will happen, so I am enjoying my time and hoping to learn from some of these other comedians. Both AJ Finney and John Hastings have placed in all three shows; this is extremely impressive especially considering that each show has different judges.
Well two more shows to go. Tonight we are in the heart of San Fran at Marsh Theater. If you are in the city, you might want to check it out. It's gonna be a guaranteed throw down!!

San Francisco Comedy Competition - 2nd show
The top 5 from last night's Black Oak Casino show are:
Don Frost, Portland
Jimmy Ouyang, San Diego
John Hastings, Toronto
Nathan Brannon, Portland – (tie)
AJ Finney, Kansas City – (tie)
Matt O’Brien, Vancouver
Mr. Frost had a masterful set.
After grabbing a bite to eat with a few comedians, we headed to Don and Nathan's room and had some drinks, pizza and many laughs with several other comedians. It's a great bunch of comedians. I am grateful to be here. I got to bed after 3am. I just arrived in Lido, CA. Tonight's show will be at the Hutchins Street Square (theater). It should be a fun show. Tonight, all comedians are required to perform a TV clean set. But right now, I am going to get a few zzzzzzzzzzzz.

About the Competition
The San Francisco Comedy Competition is an annual, multi-week, judged, stand-up comedy contest. Over thirty comedians, out of hundreds who apply, perform in shows held in comedy clubs, bars, restaurants, casinos and theaters in San Francisco and around the Bay Area.
Contestants perform 3-7 minute long sets in one of two preliminary weeks, consisting of six shows in six venues over six nights. The top five from each preliminary week will meet in the semi-finals week, which requires them to perform 8-12 minute long sets for another six shows. The top five from the semi-finals move on to the finals. In the finals, they will perform 15-20 minute long sets in five more shows…and, a winner is crowned.
This is a judged contest. Each contestant will perform for a unique group of judges for every show they do. Judges score each contestant in seven categories.
The San Francisco Comedy Comedy Competition shares the same basic format and structure as the Seattle International Competition—and both competitions share the same Executive Producer, Jon Fox.

WOW - The Daily Dose Sport Lounge was a lot of fun!!!
I had a BLAST last night at the show in Irvine. Mike "Cochino" Rojas was the producer as well as the emcee. Very funny and very quick. Funny man Odis Odog Hickey was a crowd pleaser. He lives in Atlanta, GA as well as in Southern Cali. Mr. Tyler W. Sonnichsen followed with his original brand of comedy. He nailed a drunk at the bar - very funny. I followed. And then the headliner, Paul "Smokey" Deese ROCKED IT!! Man, I had a fun time. And thanks Caryl for coming out to support me.
