An evening of stand-up comedy at Be Bubbly

Marcus Mangham will be the opening act and host for standup comedy at Be Bubbly on Thursday, Sept. 21, at 7 p.m. Tony Roberts will be a special guest and headliner for the night. Roberts’ hard hitting, energetic, style of comedy has made him one of the top ranked comedians on the comedy circuit. Born and raised in Detroit, he grew up, quick and witty, with a short attention span. That led him into the military where he served his country for 10 years. Roberts stumbled up on stage for the first time one night at Mark Ridley’s comedy club in Royal Oak, Michigan, as a result of a bet from a childhood friend. With his improvisational skills and quick wits, he soon landed his first television stand-up appearance on BET Comic View, where he received the Robin Harris Award for most original comic of the year. After this, he performed at the HBO Def Comedy Jam set in New York City, and made the city his home. Buy tickets. Be Bubbly, 1407 Second St., Napa, www.bebubblynapa.com, 707-637-4532
