The owners of The Rrazz Room "The two Rs" -- Robert Kotonly and Rory Paull -- celebrate their 2nd year anniversary with not only a star-studded lineup of performers, but also a dynamic team of players dedicated to upholding its status as "The Premier Nightclub of the West Coast." With a seating capacity of approximately 170, The Rrazz Room is one of the few places in the San Francisco Bay Area where you can experience live performances up close and personal. Last year's gala sold out, so advance ticket purchase highly recommended. Partial proceeds from this very special evening will benefit Haiti Relief/American Red Cross.

The co-owners of The Rrazz Room, Robert Kotonly & Rory Paull, are inspired by the artistry of the magnificent roster of performers who have graced the stage of the club over its past two years existence, and the loyal Bay Area audiences who flock to see their favorites in an intimate, classy, high quality environment. "The Rrazz Room is like no other," says Mr. Kotonly. "We are not a comedy club nor are we a jazz club, yet we can, and do, book the best acts in both those genres of entertainment. We also present the finest in Opera, Blues, R & B, Theatre, Great American Song Book, and more. This is the place in San Francisco to experience a wonderful performance in an intimate space by a great entertainer, fine food, and the most attentive waitstaff in town." Within the first two years, The Rrazz Room has had the honor of presenting such greats as Rita Moreno, Dame Cleo Laine & Sir John Dankworth, Sandra Bernhard, Diahann Carroll, Tony Martin, Ashford & Simpson, Larry Carlton, Paula West, Mort Sahl & Dick Gregory, Eva Marie Saint, ConFunkShun, Oleta Adams, Bobby Caldwell, Hiroshima and more.
