Staying sane in current times means taking time to experience joy and laughter. The shows also raise awareness and funds for organizations doing life-saving work. Each month, partial proceeds have benefited a different organization (ACLU, Marin-SF Food Bank…).
Partial proceeds from the May show benefits Mujeres Unidas y Activas, which strengthens Latina immigrant women and activism in defense of immigrant rights and social justice. Mujeres Unidas has helped 100s of women get out of situations of domestic violence, become strong leaders, and take an active role in the movement for immigrant rights and social justice.

Lisa Geduldig, the producer of this monthly comedy series, is a San Francisco-based comedian and comedy producer most known for Kung Pao Kosher Comedy™ — Jewish Comedy on Christmas in a Chinese Restaurant, which celebrates its 34th year this December (in-person AND virtually). Before the pandemic, Lisa ran the monthly Comedy Returns to El Rio, a decade-long comedy show at El Rio where her comedy career began over 35 years ago. To keep people entertained during the pandemic and to provide comedians with work, Lisa produced the monthly Lockdown Comedy on Zoom from 2020 to 2024, largely from her mother’s retirement community home in Florida. Her (now late) mother, Arline, was a monthly guest and discovered doing comedy at 89 years old.
