The Greg Proops Chat Show
with special guests Robin Williams, Linda Cardellini
and musician Michael Penn

January 20, 8pm at Yoshi’s San Francisco

Comedy legend Robin Williams to be a guest on The Greg Proops Chat Show!

SF Sketchfest is thrilled to welcome Robin Williams, who joins the acclaimed Greg Proops Chat Show! Hosted by Bay Area native Greg Proops (Whose Line Is It Anyway?). Greg's other special guests are actress Linda Cardellini (Freaks and Geeks; ER) and musician Michael Penn. Don't miss this truly special show, for one night only!

Greg Proops is a stand up comic from San Francisco. He lives in Hollywood. And likes it. He hosts his own live comedy chat show at the perilously hip Hollywood rock joint Largo. Guests have included Flight of the Conchords, Russell Brand, Jack Black, Dave Grohl, Patton Oswalt, Sarah Silverman, Joe Walsh, David Cross, Margaret Cho, Dave Eggers, Joan Rivers, Eddie Izzard and John C. Reilly. Proops is best known for his unpredictable appearances on both the American and British versions of the hit improvised comedy show Whose Line is it Anyway? Greg hosts the science game show Head Games on the Science Channel, can be heard as the voice of Bob the Builder on the popular PBS children’s show, is a regular on Nickelodeon’s True Jackson, and has a new comedy CD entitled Elsewhere, available on iTunes and aspecialthing.com.

Linda Cardellini is a popular film and television actress perhaps best known for playing ‘Lindsay Weir’ on Freaks and Geeks and ‘Nurse Samantha Taggart’ on ER.  On the small screen, she voices ‘Bliss Goode’ on Mike Judge’s The Goode Family and has appeared on Robot Chicken, Human Giant and the mini-series Comanche Moon. Film credits include Brokeback Mountain, Scooby-Doo, Legally Blonde, Grandma’s Boy and the upcoming The Irishman. A native of Mountain View, California, Linda last appeared at SF Sketchfest in 2008 at the Freaks and Geeks reunion.

Michael Penn’s 1989 debut album, March, became a significant critical favorite, earning acclaim for its sparkling Beatlesesque folk-pop and clever, Elvis Costello-like wordplay; the lead single, “No Myth,” even became a surprise hit and helped launch the LP into the Top 40. Penn returned with Free For All, followed by Resigned. He then began collaborating with filmmaker Paul Thomas Anderson, and scoring Hard Eight and Boogie Nights. Penn married fellow singer/songwriter Aimee Mann soon after, and released: Days Since a Lost Time Accident. In 2005, Penn released Mr. Hollywood, Jr. 1947 on his own Mimeograph label.
