An Atheist Comedy Show

Description

Comedians Johnny Taylor, Elaine Sabatino, Emily Catalano, and Keith Lowell Jensen will join us for an evening of atheist comedy and atheist giving!

Atheist Community of San Jose began working with Brighter Brains Institute in December 2016 to fund the ACSJ clinic at Kanyenze Humanist Primary School, along with the brand new ACSJ Classroom at Kasese Humanist Secondary School. Our goal is to raise $1000 to cover the needs of our clinic for the summer and fall schooling sessions. These funds cover medic's salary, medications and supplies, which include not only mosquito nets but also condoms and AFRIpads!

Special guest Hank Pellissier of Brighter Brains Institute will do a brief presentation on our clinic, along with a couple light hearted poetry readings.

Comedian Bios:

Sardonic and personal, Johnny Taylor elevates the art of self-deprecating storytelling with his debut album, Tangled Up in Plaid on Stand Up! Records. Taylor gained the attention of the comedy world sharing stages with Robin Williams, Doug Stanhope, and Dave Attell. Taylor is currently co-headlining Godless, a comedy tour with Stand Up! Lovably sarcastic and hilariously introspective, Taylor delivers chapters from his awkward autobiography with dry wit and a sly grin. Tangled up in Plaid is available now on iTunes, Amazon, Spotify, or out of his backpack at live shows.

Elaine Sabatino got hooked on stand up comedy in 2012 after taking a comedy class with Karin Babbit and performing at the Santa Cruz Fringe festival. She enjoys pointing out how organized religion and other dogma actually play out in the modern world and how our obsession with political correctness limits free speech and actually does more harm than good.

Emily Catalano is from Santa Cruz and performs all over the bay area. Her comedy addresses a wide variety of life's most enjoyable topics: breakups, failed relationships, and ex-lovers. She was a finalist in the 2016 Rooster T. Feathers New Talent Competition and is becoming known in the bay area for her smart joke writing and veritable dead pan delivery.

Keith Lowell Jensen has become known for his subtle, smart approach, and his meandering story telling. He has appeared on The History Channel, Spike TV, and The Starz Network. His latest special Atheist Christmas appeared on Hulu. Jensen is signed to Stand Up Records who will release his next special, Bad Comedy For Bad People in 2017. He regularly features for Roseanne Barr, Doug Stanhope and is a favorite at festivals around the world, most recently headlining the China International Comedy Festival in Shanghai.
