Joe Klocek is a square peg in a round hole sort of guy. Raised a MidWesterner, so he has manners, but living in San Francisco for more than 30 years, so he thinks he's better than you. Joe does two things great — tells stories and talks to the crowd. He currently runs two monthly shows in San Francisco. At Cobbs Comedy Club, his game show, “Get It!?” is becoming the next big thing. At The Punch Line, Joe Klocek & Friends, is his chance to show off new talent to audiences and headline. Joe had a two month "comic in residency" at the first comedy club in Shanghai, China. He has been featured on NPR's, "Snap Judgment" and has also appeared on Comedy Central's "Live at Gotham," NBC's "Last Comic Standing," and was commentator for the Emmy Award winning documentary, "A Bridge So Far." Joe has also been a runner-up in the San Francisco International Comedy Competition and the Seattle Comedy Competition. He was voted "Best Comic" in the 2011 SF Weekly Readers Poll. 
Shanti Charan is a stand up comedian, writer, and storyteller based in the Bay Area. The daughter of immigrants, Shanti’s humor reflects her experience as an Indo-Fijian woman, growing up as a second generation American. Shanti was named San Francisco Bay Guardian’s “Best Comedian” in their Annual “Best of SF” edition. SF Weekly awarded her “Best Stand Up on the Way Up,” stating her writing, “is clever and confident beyond her years.” Shanti has worked with and featured for Bobby Lee, Fortune Feimster, Sheng Wang, Atsuko Okatsuka, Anthony Jeselnik, and Hasan Minhaj. 
Ian Williams began performing in comedy clubs in the Midwest after leaving graduate school in 1984. He has appeared on MTV, A&E, Star Search, and Showtime. Williams has lived in San Francisco for more than two decades and appears at Bay Area clubs including Cobb's and The Punchline. He also has worked as a teacher while partnering with his spouse to run a family that has stayed in operation since 1995.
Lisa Geduldig, the producer of this new 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 33rd year this coming 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. Lisa produced the monthly Lockdown Comedy on Zoom from 2020 to 2024 largely from her mother’s retirement community home in Florida to keep people entertained during the pandemic. | ALL SALES ARE FINAL Refunds on tickets purchased will only be made for events that are cancelled or rescheduled.
