Warren Thomas

From comic Byron Yee:

I haven’t seen anything posted about the passing of comic Warren Thomas who died a little over three weeks ago but word did not spread until last Monday. I’m not the best person to furnish an obit for him but I wanted to get the word out for all those who knew and loved him.

Warren Thomas, a San Francisco comedy legend and past winner of the SF Comedy Competition, passed away earlier this month in New York City. He was one of the giants of the San Francisco comedy scene in the late 80’s and early 90’s and was deserving of being known as a comic’s comic. Watching Warren riff on stage was like listening to jazz. His bits would always spin out of control and he was infamous for doing everything to lose the crowd, only to bring them back. There will be a rememberance for Warren Thomas on Sunday evening, October 9th, at the San Francisco Punchline.
