FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

ROOSTER T. FEATHERS AND SF COMEDY COLLEGE JOIN COMEDIC FORCES

“We look forward to having the talent that the San Francisco Comedy College brings to the Bay Area here on our stage every week”, says Heather Barbieri, owner of Rooster T. Feathers, a venue that has featured some of today’s best known faces in comedy, such as Jerry Seinfeld, Robin Williams and Ellen DeGeneres. Kurtis Matthews, SF Comedy College founder and member of The Stand-up Project commented, “We are excited to have a new home in the South Bay. Rooster’s is the right venue to showcase the talent that reflects by the hard work done at the Comedy College”. Matthews is a 20+ year comedy veteran who founded the College to give new comics training and support that allows them to hit the comedy circuit looking like experienced performers. “It’s something that I believed was needed in comedy for a long time, and the fact that the school just keeps expanding tells you something. We are also expanding to San Diego this year, and we are excited to start new comedy communities in other cities. It’s an incredible thing to participate in.”

The SFCC will also be bringing classes to the Rooster’s stage. Matthews will be teaching classes for both beginning and advanced stand-up comedians. Sammy Wegent, recent winner of The Battle of the Bay stand-up comedy competition and artistic director/ member of SPF7 will be teaching improv classes and Mike Funt, also a member of SPF7 will be teaching classes in writing for television.
