The Root of Comedy with Edwin Li December 28, 2010

EDWIN LI
Edwin began working as a comedian at the age of 16, barreling through five minute open mike sets and hanging in the wings of the Punchline, picking the brains of any funnyman that would talk shop. His earnestness and shameless curiosity have made him a favorite with comedy veterans and club owners alike. His rambunctious new set is a portrait of the wild, untamed energy of a young American man. Edwin is a regular at the San Francisco Punchline and Cobb's Comedy Club and has been featured in the Golden Gate Xpress, on Yo! TV, UPN's Speak On It, as well as the prestigious SF Sketchfest and Las Vegas Comedy Festival.

As if that weren't enough, these 4 comedy savants have Edwin's back:

A regular opener for Dave Chappelle and David Alan Grier, Kevin has appeared at the Vancouver Comedy Festival, the 2009 Aspen Rooftop Comedy Festival, the 2009 LA Comedy Festival and the 2008 and 2010 SF Sketchfest. Of his animated style of stand up comedy and storytelling, the San Francisco Chronicle raves, "Avery is Amazing!". His first comedy CD, Hardcore, recorded live at the Punchline in San Francisco, is now available on iTunes and at RoofTopComedy.com.

JANINE BRITO
Janine Brito started doing Stand-Up comedy in St. Louis and has performed at clubs and theaters throughout the US and Hong Kong.
