May’s lineup includes Jeff Richards, Jan McInnis, Laura Hayden and Paul Morrissey. Professional local comedian Jason Love produces this monthly show in collaboration with the Hillcrest Center for the Arts. The show features a new lineup each month with some of Hollywood’s funniest headliners. All shows are 8:00 pm with doors opening at 7:30. Due to the popularity of the shows, which sell out each month, all tickets are now reserved seating and are available three months in advance. The hour and a half show is for eighteen years and up only, and beer and wine may be purchased with valid ID.
Jeff Richards attended Las Lomas High School. One of his first jobs was at a Walnut Creek plumbing company. He left California to attend the University of North Carolina. After leaving the school, Richards traveled across the country as a stand-up comedian. Once he performed at a 13 year-olds birthday party for $50.
Finally, he performed at Caroline’s on Broadway and on late-night TV talk shows. He joined “Saturday Night Live” in the 2001-2002 season as a featured player. He joined the main cast this year. His characters include; Drunk Girl and infant pop-star “Baby-K.” His impressions include; Bill O’Reilly, Gary Busey, and David Letterman.
Jan MacInnis decided to become a comedian when she was 10 years old, telling her parents that when she turned 16 she was going to “buy a motorcycle, ride cross-country to Los Angeles and become a comedian.” Instead she graduated from Virginia Tech and worked in marketing for ten years. Today, she has a successful career in comedy and keynote speaking, and has been featured in The Wall Street Journal as a top convention comedian whose act is clean and in the Washington Post for my clean comedy writing. She’s written comedy material for late night TV shows, hundreds of radio stations, CEOs and even guests on the Jerry Springer Show.
Laura Hayden is a practicing physical therapist, who also works as a stand-up comedian and inspirational speaker. Laura’s stand-up career started at the front of the classroom while she earned her Masters in Physical Therapy from Mount Saint Mary’s College. Her ability to highlight the humorous side of medicine led her classmates to nominate her to give their graduation commencement speech. To this day the faculty at Mount Saint Mary’s College still talk about that “infamous” commencement speech. Laura credits this as her first stand up performance
Comedian Paul Morrissey gained a fan base and notoriety with his four appearances on “The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson” on CBS. He has also performed on “The Late Show with David Letterman” and his critically acclaimed TV Comedy special “A Real Humdinger”. His original material centers around food and sports, with national TV credits.
Producer and host Jason Love has appeared on HBO, Comedy Central, America’s Got Talent, and over 20 national broadcasts. He has performed overseas for the troops and on the seas for cruise lines, and was a finalist at the Cabo Comedy Festival. Jason’s non-profit, Love & Laughter, brings free shows to cancer support communities and others in need.
