DOUG FERRARI
Since winning the 1984 San Francisco International Stand-Up Comedy Competition, Doug has played 41 states and 5 countries, done 25 TV Shows including Comedy Central, MTV, and Showtime, written for many comedians such as Rodney Dangerfield and Jay Leno, and worked with all the rock and roll greats such as Santana, Neil Young, Crosby Stills & Young, Steve Miller Band, and everyone from Ray Charles to Sun Ra.
He hosted many Bay Area Music Awards, Bill Graham's "Spirit of America" concert in Golden Gat Park, hosted the Earthquake Benefit at the Cow Palace in 1989 with Bob Hope, and does his stand-up shows and concerts all over the Bay Area, as well as his "Rock Comedy Show", Doug Ferrari: Mock Star.
Doug didn't get into being a hippie until 1972 (the '60s didn't offically end until 1974), but he did the best he could, and his show running-order covers all the big '60s subjects: sex, drugs, rock & roll, politics and religion.
Doug's "Rock Comedy Show" features tributes, satires and parodies of all the '60s anthems, from Led Zeppelin to Simon & Garfunkel, The Who, Pink Floyd, Jimi Hendrix, and even Mel Brooks, in his performance of "Love Power" from the original movie "The Producers". This show has been a hit at all the comedy clubs, and in concert at the Throckmorton Theater twice, and a "Mark Pitta & Friends" at the Throckmorton. Doug made a CD of his stand-up and rock comedy, called "The Best of His NSA Wiretaps", recorded live in Marin.
