BELL RINGS MY BELL
Good friend and Comedy Luminary W. Kamau Bell (is “Comedy Luminary” too much, Kamau? How about “Funny Light-source?”) has a new section in the SF Weekly in which to gush over everything he loves in comedy, especially in San Francisco comedy. He chose me to receive his inaugural praise-shower, and I am rightly honored. Check it out here, and then KEEP checking it out, so you know what is up:
