This week, we have Marga Gomez, Ronn Vigh, and a special guest.
Marga Gomez, San Francisco’s funniest Latina lesbian, currently hosts Marga’s Funny Tuesdays at Harvey’s in the Castro. She is the author/performer of seven solo plays including "Los Big Names" which ran Off-Broadway in 2006. Marga has won numerous honors including the GLAAD AWARD, Los Angeles "OVATION AWARD" and New York’s DRAMA DESK AWARD (nomination). Her film roles include computer expert and muffin maker Jane Edmunds in Warner Brother’s "Sphere," and Robin Williams once described her as “amazing…a Lesbian Lenny Bruce.
Ronn Vigh’s brash attitude and acerbic wit earned him comparisons to a young Joan Rivers SF Weekly--well, if Joan were male, gay, and didn’t shoot Botox by the pound. Ronn currently hosts the stand up comedy show “Unleashed” at the Deco Lounge in SF. He was featured on NBC's Last Comic Standing recently hosted Palm Springs Pride, headlined the Lake Tahoe Gay & Lesbian WinterFest, 10th Annual Michigan ComedyFest …the list goes on and on and on, much like when Ronn speaks.
As for our special guest, his name rhymes with Mavin Mewsome.

The John Miller Program with Candy Churilla March 23
This week's show will be hosted by the best guests of 2007! Congratulations to Kurt Weitzmann, Ben Feldman, and Lisa Myers.
The entity known as Kurt Weitzmann began performing stand up at the infamous Holy City Zoo where Robin Williams, Dana Carvey, and Margaret Cho honed their craft. Since then he's appeared on Comedy Central, MTV, and on the stages of every San Francisco comedy club ever. He created, edited, and produced the ingenious SF Weakly, a highly celebrated parody of the SF Weekly, for which he was labeled a comic genius by non other than The SF WEEKLY. He wrote, produced, and performed comedy shows at HBO WORKSPACE and COMEDY CENTRAL STAGE and created sketches and comedy shows at THE FAKE GALLERY. Kurt worked with such comedy luminaries as Dave Thomas, Patton Oswalt, and Eddie Pepitone, to name a few.
Ben Feldman, a favorite of the JMP, is hated by most comics because he's not only incredibly wealthy, but has been voted (by himself and Candy) as the Bay Area's funniest comic. Ben created the monthly comedy show Ben Feldman's Laugh Orgy, which happens the second Thursday of every month at San Francisco's Grant & Green Saloon.
Growing up, comedian Lisa Myers stood out as the oddball in a sea of flannel shirts and John Deere caps in her small, mildewing, Oregon town. Born into a community of Scandinavians and hillbillies, she fled her surroundings wrought with lutefisk and country western music as soon as she possibly could. On her path, the mouthy kid blossomed into a fully functioning funny broad. Her sardonic personality and less-than-demure attitude emerge on stage with thought provoking humor.

The John Miller Program with Candy Churilla March 9
From the very moment this long-haired, middle aged, self proclaimed Rasta Jew Howard Stone enters the stage, hooting and hollering, you know you're in for a special treat. As a single dad with a gruff exterior but a heart of pure gold, Stone spouts alternative family values with edge and irony. He proudly extols the importance of ether as a viable tool for child rearing while launching effortlessly into tirades about pop culture, commercialism and the absurdities of life. Howard has appeared in countless movies and television shows throughout the 80's and 90's and is the host of his own talk show in the Bay Area.This week John Miller Program favorites, Howard STone, Kurt WEitzmann, and Big Al Gonzales return.
The entity known as Kurt Weitzmann began performing stand up at the infamous Holy City Zoo where such personalities as Robin Williams, Dana Carvey, and Margaret Cho honed their craft. Since then he’s appeared on Comedy Central, MTV, and on the stages of every San Francisco comedy club ever to come or go. Kurt created, edited, and produced the ingenious SF Weakly, a highly celebrated parody of the SF Weekly, for which he was labeled a comic genius by non other than The SF WEEKLY. He wrote, produced, and performed comedy shows at The HBO WORKSPACE and THE COMEDY CENTRAL STAGE and created sketches and comedy shows at THE FAKE GALLERY. Kurt worked with such comedy luminaries as Dave Thomas, Patton Oswalt, and Eddie Pepitone, to name a few.
