Samson Koletkar (aka Mahatma Moses) is the world’s only Indian Jewish stand up comedian. A techie-turned-comic, he blends Indian heritage, Jewish roots, and American life into sharp, witty comedy that resonates with audiences across cultures. Named one of Silicon India’s “10 Indian Comedians Who Found Success in the U.S.”, Samson has performed internationally, with appearances at major comedy festivals including SF Sketchfest, Just for Laughs Vancouver, Twin Cities Jewish Humor Festival, and SF Comedy Day. He was a semi-finalist in the Seattle International Comedy Competition and a quarter-finalist in both the San Francisco Comedy Competition and the Great Canadian Laugh Off. 
Jon Lehre has performed comedy throughout California and competed in the 2024 San Francisco Comedy Competition. He has been featured on the Moth storytelling radio program and competed in the 2023 World Series of Comedy. He is currently the comedy booking agent for Barrel Proof Lounge in Santa Rosa. A married father of two, his comedy comes from real life and from pure imagination and he’s not always sure where they overlap. 
Brett Jennings is a comedian based in the San Francisco Bay Area. Known for her charmingly awkward stage presence, Brett disarms audiences with her vulnerability, creating a space where everyone feels at ease. She has worked at top clubs, including the SF Punchline, Cobb's Comedy Club, San Jose Improv, Alameda Comedy Club, and comedy clubs in Texas and Oklahoma as well being a featured performer at the Blue Whale Comedy Festival in Tulsa.
Lisa Geduldig, the producer of this 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 34th 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 in San Francisco’s Mission District where her comedy career began over 35 years ago. To keep people entertained and to provide comedians with work during the pandemic, Lisa produced the monthly Lockdown Comedy on Zoom from 2020 to 2024, largely from her mother’s retirement community home in Florida. Her (now late) mother, Arline, who discovered doing comedy at 89 years old, was a monthly guest.| ALL SALES ARE FINAL Refunds on tickets purchased will only be made for events that are cancelled or rescheduled.
