(From press release) The community is invited to join in the laughter at the third annual Davis Pride Comedy Night at 7:00 p.m. on Friday, June 26, at the Stonegate Country Club, 919 Lake Blvd. in Davis.
Presented by Laughs on the Lake and Comedians on the Go, the evening will be hosted by Sacramento and San Francisco-based drag performer and stand-up comedian Suzette Veneti, with headliner Scott Capurro and featured comics Shannon Murphy and Marcus Williams.
DJ Wet Weather will be spinning the tunes of the 1970s at 6:00 p.m. during a pre-show happy hour, as well as at the post-show reception at 9:00 p.m.
Veneti is a prominent drag performer, stand-up comedian and show producer known for blending drag artistry with sharp comedic timing. She identifies as a “comedy queen” who incorporates dancing, lip-syncing and edgy humor into her performances. In addition to performing at major venues like Punch Line Sacramento, she has been instrumental in creating more visibility for LGBTQ+ performers in the Northern California comedy circuit by building her own stages when traditional ones weren’t readily available.
Capurro is an award-winning comedian, writer and actor from California, known for his politically and socially-themed stand up. His material is deliberately provocative, referring often to gay life and culture, politics, race and racism, and popular culture. Scott is a regular headliner at comedy clubs around the world, and has hosted several television programs, including That Gay Show and The Truth About Gay Animals.
Please be advised that this event is for ages 18+ due to mature content.
Tickets are $50 in advance and $70 on June 26. Tickets include the comedy show and appetizers and soft drinks at happy hour, with beer and wine available for purchase. A portion of funds raised for this event will support the community-building efforts of the Davis Phoenix Coalition, which puts on the annual Davis Pride events.
