The Romane Event's first show was November 2005. For some reason, the anniversary show is in March but who's counting. It was orignally a variety show that included performers from all walks of life, including musicians, story-tellers, poets, filmmakers, and even Yo-Yo Champions.
For the first few months, every show featured Lev, The Cartoonist, and the very talented Will Franken. By 2006, The Romane Event was still a variety show but was starting to feature more Stand Up comedians. The reason was simple. There are way more talented stand up comics to choose from and they consistently show up. Since it's start The Romane Event has been a favorite for comedians and fans of comedy. You can always see great up and coming talent and seasoned veterans telling great jokes and enjoying the amazing atmosphere, of the legendary, Make-Out Room. The Romane Event has been featured on NPR, The Onion, The SF Chronicle, The SF Bay Guardian, Time Out SF and The SF Weekly. It is the longest running monthly comedy show in The Bay Area and has continued to be one of the hottest comedy shows in the country. |
