San Francisco Comedy Competition Winner
Paul Ogata!
What’s that you say? He was the winner in 2007? You are correct.
But that’s the only information we can get from the Competition’s official website!
The finals were Saturday night at 8 PM. What kind of a hangover are they dealing with over there?
We found this:
FINALISTS in the 33rd Annual San Francisco Stand-Up Comedy Competition include, front, clockwise, Tylr (sic) Boeh (Boston), Derick Lengwenus (Wyoming), Steve White (Los Angeles), Leif Skyving (Idaho) and Brent Weinbach (San Francisco).
It’s a caption from a photo in the Times-Herald (“Serving Solano and Napa Counties since 1875”), accompanying an article that profiles Jack Gallagher, who hosted the final show. The article contains the obligatory recitation of past finalists who’ve gone on to fame and glory– “Dane Cook, Ralphie May, Patton Oswalt, Rob Schneider, Ellen DeGeneres, Kevin Pollak and a guy named Robin Williams“– but this year’s contestants are relegated to 9-pt. type in a caption… with one of their names spelled wrong.
Even Gallagher says, “he has no idea who the final finalists are and hasn’t seen whoever they are before Saturday.”
They should change the name of the competition to the Rodney Dangerfield Open. Because none of the contestants gets any respect.
We found this, from SFStandup.com:
Here are the final results of the competition:
1. Steve White
2. Derick Lengwenus
3. Tyler Boeh
4. Brent Weinbach
5. Leif Skyving
Congratulations to Steve White!

Traci Skene Kindle Single hilariously skewers traditional social and sexual mores as well as modern feminism. "This book is a prime example of quality over quantity."
"This book made me laugh out loud! ”

Hey, I’ll take as much stroke as I can get. It helps abate this empty feeling of not being the winner anymore.You think Miss USA gets to have her glory extended on the Miss USA website? I think not.Please let me enjoy this. Retract this story at once, lest the competition organizers read it and bump me off their front page.
I hate to be the guy who nitpicks, but Derick Lengwenus is not from Wyoming, as the event organizers seem to want us to believe. He is from Canada, which is like Wyoming only colder and more full of Canadians.
I hate to nitpick too, but Derick Lengwenus was living in Wyoming when he participated in the competition. He has since moved to Chicago. Another cold place devoid of Canadian.
