“My first time performing for Comedy Uncorked might have been 15 years ago,” said Joe Klocek, Comedian. “I was impressed with the professionalism of the staff, the stage set-up, all the food, and of course, the audience. The crowds are always smart, willing to have fun, friendly, and just tipsy enough. I love performing for Comedy Uncorked! It is one of my favorite gigs!”
Over the years, thousands of guests have enjoyed unforgettable evenings of laughter, wine country ambiance, and social connection. A portion of the proceeds from Livermore shows benefit the nonprofit Open Heart Kitchen.
