BIO:

Charming, sturdy, and aggressively good-natured, Paco Romane is an anxious comedian, actor, writer, and podcaster from San Francisco. He has appeared on Comedy Central, NBC, Drunk History, HBO, Nickelodeon, NPR, and Funny or Die. Known as a versatile mash-up of everything comedic, Romane is a natural entertainer ready to riff on bad breakups or his everyman physique and weave hilarious hard-to-believe true stories about his movie-like life with fast and furious crowd work. The San Francisco Chronicle called his comedy “smart, silly, fast, and funny.”

The Digital Journal remarked, “…to call Paco an original is no exaggeration.” Additionally, NPR added, “Paco is at the top of the comedy scene and keeps audiences riveted and coming back,” The Onion’s AV Club called him “hilarious.” His work has led to many diverse gigs like working with hip-hop legend E-40 as Casey Kasem, shooting a commercial with (NBA Champion) Klay Thompson, being thrown out a window by Mr. T (not in the same ad), and appearing in numerous national commercials and films. As a voice-over artist, he recently did a character for Pixar, was the voice of Pandora Radio and Roku, and has recorded for movies, commercials, and video games. Spinning Platters called him “one of the greatest Bay Area comedians.” He was twice voted The Bay Area’s Best Comedian. He is a regular performer in SF Sketchfest and Outside Lands and has shared the stage with comedy legends like Robin Williams, Norm MacDonald, Ali Wong, Dana Gould, and many more. You can catch Paco headling clubs and comedy festivals around the nation.

If you head to his show, prepare to be charmed by Romane and his easy-going, self-effacing ways, but remember he’s more scared of you than you are of him.
