TICKETS
This show is sold out. Tickets may be available at the door on the day of the show.

The Setup features established comedians from around the country as well as local up-and-coming stars. Their goal is to provide a truly raw alternative experience. San Francisco is known for indulging and incubating the absurd whims, oddities, and genius of the freaks who call it home. Think Lenny Bruce, Robin Williams, Jefferson Airplane. With Abhay and Richard Sarvate, and guests Wally Baram, Nore Davis, Andrew Lopez and Pedro Salinas. Hosted by Dauood Naimyar. ($35, 21+)
