Another fun evening of laughs with host Pat McCoy and featuring Bill Heil and Bill Schott along with Co-Headliners Dave Buleigh and Maureen Langan. MAUREEN LANGAN was a semifinalist on Season 18 of America’s Got Talent . Her performance landed her a standing ovation and four “yeses” from the judges. She is an award-winning broadcaster, international standup comedian, TEDx Talk speaker and corporate & event host. She has performed on Broadway with Rosie O’Donnell and has shared the stage with Robin Williams, Steven Wright, Joy Behar, Gladys Knight and Jordin Sparks…just to name a few. Her quick wit and honest rants on life’s absurdities make her a hit at clubs, theaters, private events and festivals across the U.S., Canada, U.K., Europe and South Africa. She performed at the Borgata in Atlantic City, the Tropicana in Las Vegas and is a regular at Caroline’s on Broadway. Her television appearances include Gotham Live, HBO, Red Eye, MSNBC, CBS, Comics Unleashed, and the Paramount Pictures film Marci X. As a two-time finalist in the San Francisco Comedy Competition, DAVE BULEIGH shared first runner up honors with past legends like Robin Williams, Ellen DeGeneres, Marc Maron, Dane Cook and Kevin Pollak. Dave's multiple characters, voices and impressions were again showcased on AMERICA'S GOT TALENT where he became a fast favorite of both judges and fans alike. Judge Howard Stern said, "You have an excellent command of the stage.” Fellow comedian Howie Mandel (also a judge) added, "Your impressions were spot on.” His uncanny ability to impersonate just about anyone even landed him a starring role as Charlie Sheen in the film - "Not Another Celebrity Movie.” Also, with numerous television, podcast and radio appearances, the international press has weighed in. "Burleigh has the trappings of a soon to be comedy star" – reports Rolling Stone magazine. But perhaps most important, Dave and his talented writers have found a clever way not to step on any toes - on either side of the political aisle. BILL Schott is a Bay Area native who has performed in venues all over California. Some big, some small, and some unique (a laundry mat and junkyard to name a few). He has also performed in clubs in Paris, Madrid, and Bali. The youngest of seven siblings, Bill's comedy is mostly based on real events except the parts that are made up. BILL HEIL is an up-and-coming comic from Berkeley. He might be the tallest comedian you have ever seen? Bill performs all over the Bay Area and is a regular panelist at the Tech Pitch Roast shows in S.F.. Come early for the delicious food and drinks, stay for the laughs! $20 tickets will also be available at the Door (Cash or Venmo) 21 and Older Information Source: Pat Pending Productions | eventbrite
