Hilarious Habibis – hosted by Gena B. Jones and Lynn Maleh – is Hollywood's FIRST EVER standup showcase featuring Middle Eastern/North African [MENA] comedians.

What began as a way for MENA comedians to get in front of agents and managers has evolved into something so much bigger: a countercultural hub for the MENA community in LA and beyond. Past shows have featured a range of up-and coming and established MENA comics, including Bassem Youssef, Maz Jobrani, Dina Hashem, Aristotle Athari, Dave Merheje, and Crystal Marie.

The SF Sketchfest Dozen: Roz Hernandez & Bo Johnson
Friday January 17, 2025 7:00pm - 8:30pm PST
Roz Hernandez (she/her) is a multi-talented transgender entertainer, comedian, actor, and host. She is a series regular on Hulu's hit show, "Living for the Dead", executive-produced by Kristen Stewart. Her podcast "Ghosted!", where celebrity guests discuss ghost stories, psychic experiences and "all things that go BUMP in the night," was named one of Vulture magazine's Best Comedy Podcasts of 2022. Roz has honed her comedic craft on stages across the country. For an impressive four years, she hosted a monthly show at the iconic Hollywood Improv. She also regularly graces renowned venues such as Largo, Dynasty Typewriter, Elysian Theater, and Permanent Records Roadhouse. Her infectious energy, style and humor have earned her a spot on "Watch What Happens Live" on Bravo in 2023. She's been featured on multiple top charting podcasts including "My Favorite Murder," "Lovett or Leave It" and Team Coco's "Scam Goddess." Roz lives in Los Angeles where she likes to collect kitschy antiques and bedazzle her extensive wardrobe in her spare time. 

Bo Johnson is a comedian from Seattle, Washington. He can be found headlining clubs, breweries, and appropriately sized theaters across the United States and Canada. His stand up has been featured on Netflix Is A Joke Radio, Kevin Hart Presents: Hart of the City on Comedy Central, Don’t Tell Comedy Secret Sets, and LOL Live! at the prestigious Just For Laughs comedy festival in Montreal. He was a finalist in the 39th annual Seattle International Comedy Competition and is a regular at festivals including Bumbershoot, SF Sketchfest, the Double Down Comedy Experience sponsored by Zappos, Life is Beautiful in Las Vegas, Rifflandia in Victoria BC, Prizefest, and Big Pine Comedy Festival in Phoenix. With a growing online audience Bo’s jokes have been viewed millions of times online.
Separate from stand up comedy one time Bo and his best friend from high school snuck into a movie theater as one person. That video was broadcast on TV shows like the now cancelled "Caught on Camera with Nick Cannon" on NBC and lowest rated daytime talk show at the time, "The Meredith Veira Show". Bo still gets messages each year from friends seeing the video go viral on different meme accounts. Numerous magazines and newspapers also wrote about the hijinks, including an article in Cosmopolitan titled, “Man Sneaks His BFF Into Movie Theater by Stuffing Him Into His Pants.” More recently Bo trained his roommates dog by walking her to Shania Twain's "Man! I feel like a Woman!" in a viral stunt earning over 7 millions views on Tik Tok and press coverage in both major and incredibly minor publications.

Saturday January 18, 2025 9:30pm - 11:00pm PST
New York Times Critic’s Pick (2024)
Vulture’s Top Comics You Should and Will Know (2023)

After an eleven week run Off-Broadway in NYC with four extensions and a New York Times Critic’s Pick, the bad boy of clown Zach Zucker makes his SF debut with his award-winning alter-ego Jack Tucker.

A well-respected journeyman and bonafide legend on the Upstate New York regional comedy scene, Jack Tucker is the ultimate comedian's comedian. Fighting to save his marriage, regain the respect of his son, and pay off countless loansharks looking to collect their debts, Tucker (Jack) will do whatever it takes to make you laugh.

If the joke doesn't land, it's not because it isn't funny - you just didn't get it. Nothing can stop him... except himself.

This show has sold out in New York, London, Los Angeles, Edinburgh, Sydney, Adelaide, Melbourne and Mumbai, achieving a total of 498 walkouts worldwide.

His abiding motto is “You can’t make stuff up like this." The New York Times calls him "possibly the best political comic in the country." Fox News agrees "he's a great political satirist," while the Oregonian hails him as a “hilarious stand-up journalist.” This former radio talk host, oyster shucker, and margarine smuggler currently writes a nationally syndicated humor column, and his scribblings have appeared in Esquire, George, the San Francisco Chronicle, National Lampoon, The New York Times and scads of other periodicals.

Dulcé Sloan
Friday January 24, 2025 7:00pm - 8:30pm PST
Comedian/Actress Dulcé Sloan was a correspondent on Comedy Central’s "The Daily Show with Trevor Noah" for six years (2017-2023). She currently continues on as a contributor and has taken over the main chair as guest host multiple times since the departure of Noah to critical acclaim. This year she was nominated for a GLAAD Award in the category "Outstanding Variety or Talk Show Episode" for her interview with Sasha Colby during one of those guest host runs. Also under this banner, she co-hosted the popular podcast "Hold Up" with Daily Show writer and fellow comedian Josh Johnson. On the podcast, the two co-workers turned their hilarious, unpredictable, and legendary office banter into a weekly war of words about topics big and small, but mostly small. In 2024, she won an Emmy for her work as a correspondent on the Daily Show. You can see some of her "Daily Show" segments, which have garnered millions of views, here:
 
9-1-1 For White People Emergencies - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gV1DJNfAbiM
“Gone With The Wind” Is Gone - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V-oeq1l7OU4
 
Dulcé’s memoir written in comedic essays "Hello, Friends! – Stories of Dating, Destiny, and Day Jobs" was released by Random House on 2/6/24. From a childhood moving between cities, starting her own business selling toys at a Miami flea market, to being a Black kid in a predominately white school, she’s always used her masterful wit to challenge the status quo. Have you ever dated an adult who roller skated, or went out with a mechanic just to get free auto service? Yup, she’s got that story for you. Her stories are both wildly entertaining and culturally resonant.
Her new Netflix set premiered on November 28th as part of their new standup series "Verified Stand Up" with The New York Times lauding “In less than 15 minutes, her set packs a wallop.” She can also be heard as part of the cast of FOX’s hit animated series "The Great North", currently in its 4th season, on which Sloan voices the character “Honeybee” alongside an ensemble of comedy heavyweights including Jenny Slate, Nick Offerman, Megan Mullally, Will Forte, and Paul Rust.
 
In 2023 Dulcé debuted as the host of The CW’s new comedy game show "The Great American Joke Off". In the series, Sloan hosts her fellow comics as they compete in coming up with hilarious set-ups for different punchlines or even using the texts on an audience member's phone as a springboard for jokes, all in a celebration of gags, wisecracks, one-liners and the art of joke telling.
 
Sloan recently appeared as a guest judge on the iconic long-running series "RuPaul’s Drag Race" and was a celebrity guest on CNN’s "New Year's Eve Live with Anderson Cooper & Andy Cohen". She is a regular guest on NPR’s popular "Wait Wait…Don’t Tell Me" and is a favorite on the talk show circuit with appearances on "Watch What Happens Live", "Late Night with Seth Meyers", and "Sherri", to name a few.
 
On the big screen, Dulcé starred in the action-comedy feature "Chick Fight" alongside Malin Akerman, Alec Baldwin, and Bella Thorne with The Hollywood Reporter declaring “Dulcé Sloan…not just steal(s) the movie but make(s) sure that no one else even comes close.” She graced the Fall 2020 cover of SLiNK Magazine where they crowned her “The New Queen of Comedy,” and Rolling Stone recently hailed her as one of the 10 Comedians You Need To Know, declaring “she speaks and they simply fall in line behind her.”

Sophie Buddle is a stand-up, a TV writer, and a podcaster. She has appeared on "The Tonight Show", "The Late Late Show with James Corden", and on CBC’s "This Hour Has 22 Minutes" as a correspondent and staff writer. She's also been featured on CTV’s "Roast Battle", JFL All Access, Kevin Hart's LOL Network, the Winnipeg Comedy Festival and the Halifax Comedy Festival. She was a featured performer at the Just For Laughs Comedy Festival in Montreal and in 2022 had the esteemed privilege of delivering the Canadian Keynote Address on Comedy. Sophie released her first album in 2019, "Lil Bit Of Buddle," which won the 2020 Juno Award for Best Comedy Album of the Year, making her the first female comic to win that award. She released the album herself so you can find it on iTunes in the genre "easy listening", which was a mistake, but it is easy to listen to, so it's OK. Her podcast "Obsessed with Sophie Buddle", which tackles people’s obsessions (from Beyoncé to American politics to checking if the door is locked to revenge) is currently available on Apple Podcasts. She is a three-time runner up (but fourth time’s the charm!) for Canada's biggest stand-up contest, SiriusXM Top Comic, and can currently be seen headlining across the country.

A standup and actor; Eagle Witt is a born and raised New Yorker. At 28 years old, he performs at all the major clubs in the city including as a regular at the world famous Comedy Cellar. Eagle has been featured on Comedy Central’s "This Week at the Comedy Cellar" as well as Amazon’s scripted series "Millenniums". As noted, Eagle has been highlighted on Vulture’s 2024’s Comedians You Should and Will Know.
 
He has notably performed twice on "Comedy Central's Stand Up" as well as the incredibly popular Don’t Tell Comedy stand up series. In addition, Eagle is featured as one of the newest cast members on MTV’s comedy mainstay, "Wild 'n Out".

Hosted by Phil Griffiths.

Robby Hoffman is a small ex-Hasidic queer Jewish stand-up comedian, writer, and true original. She can currently be seen as the breakout of Netflix's "Verified", their new selection of next generation stand-up comedians. "New York Times" comedy critic Jason Zinoman compares her "bulldozing stand-up to Larry David because of her mountain-out-of-a-molehill kvetching, but her hilarious rage over people who complain about interruptions during a conversation makes her sound like a modern lesbian Andrew Dice Clay".

Also a favorite of The Times is her podcast, "Too Far" (with Rachel Kaly) which is described as an "addictive listen", and that "truly great comedy emerges from combustible hostility, discord and a melodramatic sense of conflict".

She was named one of Vulture's Top "Comedians to Watch", one of Comedy Central's "Up Next" comedians, and was on Conan O'Brien's "Comics to Watch" list. She has performed numerous times at the Montreal Just for Laughs festival and has twice headlined the New York Comedy Festival. She recorded her first one-hour stand up special "I'm Nervous" in Toronto, available on CraveTV, and can also be seen in this year's "History of the World" on Hulu.

Robby is also a notable TV writer, having written on "The Chris Gethard Show" (TruTV), "Workin' Moms" (Netflix), and "Baroness Von Sketch Show" (IFC). In 2019, Robby won a Daytime Emmy Award for her writing work on "Odd Squad" (PBS). She is currently developing projects with Showtime, Warner Bros TV and A24.
