Our sources at the Bernal Heights Parents Club tell us that Bernal native and Bay Area comic luminary Nato Green – whom writer Lemony Snicket has likened to “finding a shot of bourbon at your co-worker’s stupid vegan potluck” – is doing stand-up at the New Parish in Oakland at 7 and 9 tonight (and recording the performances for his first comedy album).
You can read more about Green and his roots in union organizing in this East Bay Express article; it sounds like Green could be a good antidote to all the outrage we’re feeling over the Great Bernal Dumping Epidemic. Plus, for all the moms and dads out there, rumor has it there will be jokes about being a San Francisco parent. Tickets ($12-$15) available here.
“finding a shot of bourbon at your co-worker’s stupid vegan potluck”: Getting drunk = MACHO! Eating meat = MACHO! Veganism = FOR PUSSIES! I know you’re quoting someone else, but it’s making me feel like I’m in Walnut Creek, not SF. Ick.
