Nightlife on Mars presents Underground Comedy at Murphy’s Pub – Happy Birthday to Betamax Special!
That’s right on June 7th, 1975 the Sony Betamax was launched to the public and we’ve had nothing but decades of joy since. Oh wait…never mind.
Nightlife on Mars is a local comedy troupe consisting of Joe Nguyen, Adam McLaughlin and Ryan Cronin. You may recognize them from local comedy clubs or as the disheveled guys at the bar. They make you laugh, and they run a kickass show at Murphy’s Pub in the Financial District of San Francisco.
Our guests for the 6/7 show includes:
David Gborie – David has been described as “the comedic version of a DMX-Raffi mash-up; straight ill”. As a member of San Francisco super group Sylvan Productions he has helped produce shows featuring national headliners such as Hannibal Burress, Rory Scovel, and Moshe Kasher. Over the last two years he’s performed at several fancy ass venues including the San Francisco Punchline, The San Jose Improv, The Historic Purple Onion, The Downtown Denver Comedy Works, and various other shanties, honky-tonks, and trailer parks all over the wild, wild west. This year he has performed at the 2012 Noise Pop festival and SF Indie fest. He is obviously far too legit to Quit
Eloisa Bravo - Eloisa is a spicy Venezuelan that addresses the urban issues of a single woman. Packed with energy and cuteness she will make you laugh, assuming you are lucky enough to understand her accent. She was a semifinalist of Rooster T. Feathers comedy completion (2011) and has performed at the Purple Onion, Rooster T. Feathers, the Palm Beach Improv, the Miami Improv and the Hollywood Improv.
Jacob Rubin - Jacob is a writer and comedian from Oakland, CA. He is mostly known for being tall, but there are a lot other things going on with this dude. One of those things is the places he’s performed, such as the Purple Onion and Punchline in San Francisco, and the Comedy Store in Hollywood. Another is his current education status, that of a full-time Creative Writing student at Goddard College. Yet a third is his Jewishness. (It bears stating.) He also runs trivia in a bar, and his hobbies include meticulous blogging and high-fiving.
Mike Speigelman - Mike grew up in New Jersey, and, like half his high school class, moved to San Francisco. He has opened for Neil Hamburger, Emo Phillips, David Cross, the late Mitch Hedberg, Robin Williams, and many more. He is a frequent host of the Darkroom Theater’s “Bad Movie Night,” and acted in 2008’s Last Voyage of the Omega: Episodes 1 and 2.
Jeff Reitman - Originally from the Philadelphia area, Jeff Reitman has spent the better part of his life wasting way too much time playing video games and pursuing a myriad of geek hobbies including programming, board games, a brief and deeply regretted journey down the abyss that is Magic: The Gathering. Being shunned for 30 odd years for doing what he loves, left Jeff scarred and with a wealth of material to draw upon.
Stephen Ku - Stephen has been Asian since 1988, and handsome since 1992. He graduated from UC Berkeley in 2008 with a BA in English, and started doing stand-up comedy while teaching abroad in Korea. He’s been doing stand-up since 2010, and was a finalist in the 2011 Battle of the Bay Comedy Competition. Stephen’s favorite thing about himself is his modesty. His favorite food is candy.

Katie Compa – Katie Compa is a fast-talking comedian from Washington, D.C., a great place to learn to be a cynic. Growing up an ugly duckling—and, as an added bonus, a complete nerd—helped Katie develop a biting sense of humor as a highly effective defense mechanism, which she now uses to write and perform comedy. Katie is a member of the 5 Funny Females tour, and was a finalist in the 2007 Battle of the Bay Comedy Competition and a semifinalist in the 2009 California’s Funniest Female Competition. She performs regularly on both coasts.
David Studebaker – Dave is neither a singer, nor an actress, but he is the winner of the 2009 STC Young Comics Competition, finalist in the 2009 Battle of the Bay comedy competition and creator of the Young Guns of Comedy - a “critic’s choice” in the North Bay Bohemian and one of the longest running comedy shows in the Bay Area. His work beyond stand-up includes The Big Bris, a Remi Award winning 20-minute short he co-wrote and appears in, which was recently featured at the 2011 LA Comedy Film Festival, the 2012 San Luis Obispo Jewish Film Festival, the 2012 Palm Beach International Film Festival, and coming soon to the 2012 Breckenridge Film Festival.
