Stand Up! Comedy

Timeout Sports Pub

It’s been a while, Fortuna, but comedy is coming back to the Timeout Sports Pub! Come out and see one amazing comedy show. Bay Area comedians Iris Benson and Daymon Ferguson were both up here for the Redwood Comedy Festival earlier this year, and they’re coming back for more! With local favorite Ivy Vasquez and hosted by Tony Persico, it’s sure to be a great night of drinking and laughing, and not necessarily in that order. It’s really more of a back and forth kind of thing. Iris Benson Iris Benson is a comedian because no other profession will have her and that includes drug dealing and prostitution. Since her comedy debut in 2011 she’s garnered such praise as “Bleak and honest,” “pleasantly dark,” “wonderfully weird,” and “pretty good for a woman” by no one worth mentioning. Glenn Sumi of Toronto Now described her as “least likeable”, “angry” and “misanthropic” to which her best friend’s husband, Clint, retorted via Facebook “He doesn’t like angry and misanthropic comics? - so he’s missing out on George Carlin, Bill Hicks, Dennis Leary, Lewis Black, Roseanne Barr……pretty much all my favorite comics.” Fellow comic Mean Dave says of her, “She is a very sweet person and a funny comedian who I relate to very much. And she once drove a table of Mormons away with one fell swoop of an anal sex joke simply cuz {sic} she didn’t know that’s how young Mormon girls preserve their virginity.” and comic and author Steve Mix says, “Warn your children about Iris Benson…before it is too late.” Iris has performed all over the United States, making appearances at Comedy Festivals such as The Laughing Devil Comedy Festival (NY, NY), Trial by Laughter Competition (Indianapolis, IN), The She-Devil Festival (NY, NY), The She-Dot Festival (Toronto, ON) and the Cape Fear Comedy Festival (Wilmington, NC). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YsPz_iO3XuU Daymon Ferguson I’m a stand-up comic, and right now, I usually perform for small crowds in dingy basements. My first album, “Performing for 25 People” is a recording of me, doing exactly that. Are you gonna like me? If you’re the kind of person who likes ice cream, kittens, babies, and stuff that’s awesome you will like me. If you read books and use big words to describe farts you’ll really like me. If you’re a fan of moral outrage and strongly held (often unfounded and usually ridiculous) opinions, you’ll love me. I’ve been described as cute as a button, if the button said “Kill”. I’m a loving father, ex lawyer and full time malcontent. I love fine wine, cheap beer, and screaming into the void. Intrigued? You damn well should be! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mvYN56oDopc
