Dan Bublitz Jr, the San Diego Comedy Festival Co-Producer reports that comedians from all over the country will be participating including national headliners you will recognize from TV and movies.
“We are excited to be kicking off the San Diego Comedy Festival with a performance by Kevin Pollak, a performer Comedy Central named one of the Top 100 Comedians of all Time,” Bublitz said. “We’re also looking forward to introducing San Diego to the fun of Impro(vs)tandup, where improvisers and stand ups do what they do best and then switch places to try their hand at what the other does best. This particular Impro(vs)tandup will feature standup comics Grant Cotter from MTV’s Jerks with Cameras and Dean Delray from The Longshots and Hell Ride. The improvisers will be from the renowned Upright Citizens Brigade.”
After the showcase comes the Impro(vs)tandup show. If previous versions in other cities are any indication, San Diego is in for a treat, watching the standups and improvisers try to win the audience’s laughs and applause.

The last show of the night will be a San Diego showcase, exclusively featuring comics from San Diego.
On Thursday the laughs continue with another contest showcase, another San Diego showcase and in between a headlining performance by Donnell Rawlings, who is perhaps best known for playing “Ashy Larry” on Comedy Central’s Chappelle’s Show. Rawlings’ quick wit has made him a favorite in comedy clubs across the country.
