January 2007 WPBA and Chinook Winds on ESPN2 Jeff Capri's style touches on ev erything from the tacitly mundane to the ridiculous. His appearances range from comedy clubs and national tele vision appearances to a USD celebrity tour. His ability to work clean while keeing a caustic cyni cal edge is evidence of a well-seasoned professional. Capri has ap peared alongside many respected en tertainers, including Ellen DeGeneres, Tim Allen, and Sinbad. Michael Pace’s facial expressions and punch lines have been compared to Silly Putty and Sun day comic strips. So it’s no surprise that he has had audi ences across the country laughing in the aisles at The Improv, The Icehouse, and the Comedy Store. Most recently, he can be seen on HBO's award-winning series Curb Your Enthusiasm. This Emmy award nominee (for his work as host on Comic Relief) is hilarious enough to have opened for top-name comedians, including Jerry Seinfeld, Ellen Degeneres, and Drew Carey - making him a comedian’s comedian. Comedy on the Coast begins at 8 p.m. for this age 21 and over event. Doors open at 7:30 p.m., with a no-host bar. Tickets are $12.
