Ronn Vigh previously produced the wildly popular weekly comedy series "Harvey's Funny Tuesdays" at Harvey's in the Castro for ten years. Funny Tuesdays quickly became a pillar of the Castro and comedy communities. It was a place where you could always expect the unexpected, whether it be a surprise guest appearance by Margaret Cho or a group of naked men standing in front of the windows throughout the whole show. Funny Tuesdays gained a fierce following and also won "Best Comedy Show in SF" by the Bay Area Reporter's Besties poll.

The weekly show at Harvey's ended last November and Ronn has returned with Ronn Vigh's Gay Bash! This new monthly show will feature a new line up of gay and gay friendly comedians every month at the world famous Punch Line Comedy Club in San Francisco. "It's not just a comedy show. It's going to be a real celebration of comedy and who we are," says comedian and producer Ronn Vigh. "The Punch Line is my most favorite stage to perform on. The club has been so supportive of me as a comic through the years and I'm thrilled that I get to bring a new monthly show to the venue, highlighting other incredibly talented gay, gay adjacent and gay friendly comics!"

Ronn has also worked as a writer for Joan Rivers on her E! Television show, Fashion Police and regularly performs at clubs and venues across the country.

Each month, a new line up of fay & gay friendly comedians join Ronn. On July 5th, special guests include Anthony Desamito, Sampson McCormick and Maureen Langan. Brief bios of this month's guests are below:

ANTHONY DESAMITO- Anthony has appeared on Fox's Laughs and co-hosts "Thank You For Being A Podcast," an NPR featured podcast about The Golden Girls.
