Headliner Emily Van Dyke
Born and raised in Logansport, Indiana, a town with one high school and a basketball hoop in every driveway, Emily Van Dyke has made a 15-years-and-counting home of San Francisco. She started stand-up in 2011 after being laid off from her job as an art teacher and she is now a local favorite at Cobbs, Punch Line and bars and basements around the Bay Area. Emily recently released her debut album, "Feeling Myself," which you should listen to immediately.
Featuring Ashley Monique
Ashley Monique is a San Francisco-based comedian who delivers wry and sometimes dark humor with a disarming, earnest energy. She has opened for Melissa Villaseñor, Zoltan Kaszas, and Nimesh Patel.
“As a Bay Area-based stand-up comedian, Ashley Monique has a gift for rousing crowds with relatable personal stories that poke fun at everything from her dating history to her family to her day job as a substitute teacher.”
“Monique’s sets are filled with shrewd observations and honest personal experiences. She’s learned how powerful comedy is when it comes to connecting with people, even around difficult topics – and she’s learned a lot about herself in the writing process.” -diatribe.com
