About the show:
The historic Purple Onion is back as a haven for young, fresh comedy with SFstandup.com’s new weekly show, Something People Like. Hosts Justin Lamb (SPF7) and Chad Lehrman (Last Comic Standing) bring a new mix of stand-up comedy, short films, and music to San Francisco’s favorite comedy venue every Wednesday at 8:00 pm.
About the Purple Onion:
The Purple Onion was voted the Best Comedy Club in San Francisco (SF Weekly - 2007) and has been a staple of the San Francisco comedy scene for decades. From legends such as Lenny Bruce and Richard Pryor to contemporary comics like Zach Galifianakis and Todd Barry, the Purple Onion continues to be a favorite for audiences and performers alike.
Will Franken has completed the twelfth and final episode of his brilliant podcast, Things We Did Before Reality. (Click the link to hear all 12 episodes.)
The last episode is called “Side Two of Abbey Road” (Paul & Ringo, please don’t sue!) and at 63 minutes, it’s the longest one in the series. It’s very autobiographical (Mr. Franken, it’s a son,”), political (Reverend Jeremiah), and, of course, psychedelic (”That was the first time I died…”). Comedians, check out the parody of a Sunday night at the Punchline at about 17 minutes in.
From Will:
“I am very proud of this one. Extremely proud… Some may call the piece racist, or sexist, or not ‘culturally sensitive’. Actually, the piece is none of these things. It is rock-n-roll. Rock-n-roll is what existed before globalization castrated it.”
