Welcome to Comedy Day.com
Description
Our 2001 event was the coldest in our 23 year history so we've specially priced our remaining T-shirts from that year so you can have a souvenir!
It was 1975, and comedian Jose Simon had a dream. Barbra Streisand did it in 1967. A number of rock 'n' roll bands had done it, too. Even the symphony gave it a go. Free outdoor concerts were becoming more commonplace in music. So, why not one featuring comedians? A free outdoor performance in the City that is considered the cradle of civilization for comedy would be a great way for local comedians to say thank you to their fans.
It took a few years and a lot of cooperation from a lot of people to make it happen, but since 1981 more than 500 of the world's funniest comedians have performed free-of-charge for over a half-million people at Comedy Day. It started in the Golden Gate Park Music Concourse (affectionately known as the Band Shell), moved to the Polo Fields in 1986 to accommodate larger crowds and, for the past few years, has found a home in Sharon Meadow.
