LEELA'S ARMANDO COMPANY STARRING ALICIA DATTNER
For one night only! Comedian, Alicia Dattner will star as the monologist for Leela's Armando Company! Mentored by several talented comedians over the years, W. Kamau Bell (HBO, FX), Eugene Mirman (Flight of the Conchords), and Bill Santiago (Huffington Post, CNN, Comedy Central), Alicia’s been knocking audiences out (not literally) at clubs like The Punchline, Cobb's Comedy Club, The Improv, and Gotham Comedy Club. After a dozen years of doing standup comedy, she’s been racking up awards for her humorous, insightful one-woman shows. Sold-out hit shows and extended runs have garnered her “Best Comedian 2013″ -SF Weekly, “Best Storyteller” -Off-Broadway NY United Solo Festival, “Best of the Fringe” “Best Female Solo Show”, -SF Fringe Festival, “Best Local Comedian” -East Bay Express and more. She's now toured from San Francisco to New York, Hollywood, Bombay, Chennai, and London. Alicia has appeared on NPR, The Wall Street Journal, San Francisco Examiner, San Francisco Chronicle, East Bay Express, The Lady Brain Show, J Magazine, BeliefNET, Elephant Journal, Elevate, Inspyr, Integral Yoga Magazine, The Mindful Word, Awaken.com, Taoish.com, and more.
Developed by legendary improvisor and teacher, Armando Diaz (The Magnet, NYC), The Armando Diaz Theatrical Experience is a long-form improvised structure played at improv houses across the country. The premise is simple. Truth inspires great improv. A guest monologist improvises true stories, and a cast of some of the best improvisors of the SF Bay Area improvise scenes inspired by these truths. What follows is a patchwork of truthful artistic play at its finest.
8/20 Armando Cast is: Steven J. Burnett, Diana Brown, Christopher DeJong, Nicole Odell, Marilet Martinez, & Marcus Sams
