Three Nights of Non-stop Laughs in Wine Country!

Comedy Fest Day 1

??7:00PM

Buena Vista Winery
?In the heart of Sonoma
Before there were vineyards in every valley north of San Francisco, before Napa and Sonoma were household names before there was a California wine world at all, there was Buena Vista. Founded in 1857, and spanning from Sonoma and into Napa, Buena Vista is California’s first premium winery, and its history is as colorful as it is proud. Today, the legend has been re-born under the vision of Jean-Charles Boisset.

She has performed all over the country in many "world-famous" clubs, such as The Comedy Store, The Laugh Factory, and Stand Up NY. She’s been a featured comedian at the NY Comedy Festival, the West End Comedy Festival (in ATL), and the Burbank Comedy Festival. Her podcast, She Shed Comedy, was chosen as a "Podcast We Love" on WhoHaHa, a website that spotlights and supports women in comedy.
