Every Tuesday, Mark Pitta continues to turn the 142 Throckmorton Theatre in Mill Valley into one of the best comedy rooms in the country. Last night, Dick Gregory was on the show, and a couple of his fans also dropped by to watch. (Photo by Rick Pulido)

If I was going to be stuck on a desert island and could only bring along five reasons to go see Will Franken perform in Montreal at the Just For Laughs Festival, July 23rd to the 26th, I think there’d be no question as to what the first reason would be:
REASON 1: MONTREAL IS BETTER THAN A DESERT ISLAND
Montreal is a much better place to be than a desert island. Please bear in mind that I have neither been to Montreal nor a desert island before–but I can imagine that the latter is not as much fun as the former. If you are in Montreal, for example, there are plenty of people you could ask to help you get off of a desert island. But if you’re on a desert island–good luck finding someone to help you get off of a desert island!
The shows have been terrific, and competition has been fierce. Here’s the results of the first 3 weeks- these are the comics moving on to the semi-finals.
Keep an eye on SFstandup.com/ball to follow the competition, and join us every Wednesday through September 2nd at The Purple Onion as we crown the SFstandup.com Bay Area Laugh Leader.
