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.
Big Al Gonzales runs Club Deluxe comedy (Mondays) in the Haight Ashbury district. You may recognize him from the “Click It or Ticket" public service announcement. The Notorious BAG has shared the stage with Henry Cho, Charlie Murphy, Darren Carter and many more. He performs regularly at colleges and clubs around the Bay Area including Cobb's Comedy Club, Punch Line, and San Jose Improv.
