The February 2010 stand up comedy show at La Contenta Golf Club and Event Center in Valley Springs further proves that there is a sophisticated crowd in the area and they're hungry for live comedy.

Dubbed:  "Comedy Night 2" by its producers (La Contenta & HumorMeComedy.com), it's the second of its kind in recent memory, following a successful show in November of 2009.  Tickets were sold out in advance of this show, as they were at the previous event.

It was a crisp, clear Saturday night in Valley Springs, and the stage was set for what would be the area's first live comedy show in recent memory.  The doors at La Contenta  opened at 7pm, and the sold-out crowd didn't wait long to fill the Event Center.  The crowd itself was what those in the business might describe as "warm;" loose, and ready to laugh.  The stage was set.  This had the potential to be a very good night.

"Let's Clear the Air" - A Comic In Transition

Stand up comic Jim Breuer's comedy special: "Let's Clear the Air" on Comedy Central is appropriately titled, for a comic whose brand is making the transition from googly-eyed pothead to post-party family man.  Reading his recent interview in Punchline Magazine gave a very clear preview of the type of humor we'd see in his act, and it was a masterful and accurate example of public relations put to good use.  Expectations were clearly set, and did not disappoint.

What's She Up To Now? Black Oak Casino Willow Creek Comedy Showcase

Marc Maron's stand up comedy CDs (a two-CD set) are great CDs, but make for a tough review.

A warm spring night in Modesto - no better conditions for stand up comedy.  The place filled up quickly, with a young, energetic audience that was ready for a good time.
