Live at the Orinda

Rick Kattenburg is planning for another sell out of the second annual Live at the Orinda Comedy Night to be held on Friday, March 11th at the Orinda Theater. "Last year's event got rave reviews as a uniquely different fundraiser," says Kattenburg, the Chamber of Commerce Director in charge of this event. Presented in collaboration with Tommy T's Comedy Clubs and the Lamorinda Film & Entertainment Foundation, the laughter-filled evening will feature six of the Bay Area's most up and coming comedians.

"Last year we had a pretty good party prior to the show," says Kattenburg. "We will be selling Piper Sonoma champagne this year, as well as a white wine by the glass or bottle. You can carry your drinks right into the theatre as you join your friends for the laughs. The seating is open. Everyone will have a great view because of a live video feed projected onto the big screen above the comics during the performances."

The Orinda Chamber of Commerce produces this event, to help fund Chamber events that enhance Orinda. The proceeds also benefit other Orinda nonprofits. Tickets at $30.00 may be reserved in advance until March 10th using a major credit card at the Orinda Chamber of Commerce web site, www.OrindaChamber.org, or purchased at First Republic Bank, 224 Brookwood Road. Tickets at the door, if available, will be $35.00 per person.

"Live at the Orinda offers fun-loving people of our East Bay communities the opportunity to share an evening of relaxing laughter while discovering all the charms of Orinda," says Sue Breedlove, Orinda Chamber President. "It's no wonder this has become an annual event."

"This will be one great night of comedy, so come on out for the laughs," says Kattenburg, adding, "Orinda ain't Borinda anymore."
