Sedona News – The Sedona International Film Festival is proud to present Stand-Up Comedy Night live onstage at the Mary D. Fisher Theatre on Sunday, May 11 at 7 p.m. — a special performance for Mother’s Day.
The show will feature headliner Sandra Risser with Floyd Haas opening the evening.
SANDRA RISSER
Sandra Risser is smart, funny and older than Twinkies. She’s eccentric, not crazy; drives in the fast lane and can still bench press 500 grams. Through self-deprecating stories and one-liners, Sandra builds a bond with the audience. She entertains them with stories about her misspent youth, young adult antics and middle-aged adventures. As she relates tales about her ex-husband and life from an “older woman’s” perspective, she’s quick to point out “I’m not old. I’m used!” When she performs, audiences know they are hearing a unique comedic talent. Someone they will return to see again and again.
Sandra has featured for comedians who have been on Saturday Night Live (Chris Kattan), Comedy Central (Paul Ogata) and Late Night with David Letterman (Larry “Bubbles” Brown). She’s opened for political satirist Will Durst and has performed one-woman comedy shows in the Edinburgh Scotland, Brighton England, Santa Cruz CA and Fresno CA Fringe Festivals.
FLOYD HAAS
Floyd has performed over the last 12 years at places such as Stir Crazy Comedy Club, the Tempe, Brea, Irvine & Ontario IMPROV, The Pasadena Ice House, The American Comedy Co. as well as specializing in corporate or private events. He’s performed in shows with great Comics like Bruce Baum, Gene Pompa, Brian Scolaro, Ritch Shydner, Paul Rodriguez and Cory & Chad. He has a unique take on our current culture, being a grandparent, his own life experiences and his look at today’s world.
Stand-Up Comedy Night at the Mary D. Fisher Theatre is made possible by our hospitality sponsor, Arabella Hotel Sedona.
