One comedian has more than 260 film and television credits. The other has a Mexican mother who apparently has plenty of advice about her daughter’s life.  Both have found a way to turn their experiences into comedy.

Comedy Heights welcomes Jason Stuart and Jessica Alaniz to Lestat’s this Friday and Saturday, November 13 and 14, for two nights of stand-up.

Jason Stuart has been making people laugh for decades. An award-winning actor, comedian, author and LGBTQ+ activist, Jason has appeared in films including Kindergarten Cop, Vegas Vacation and Tangerine, along with television shows such as Goliath, The Closer and Love. He also co-created and starred in the comedy series Smothered and wrote the memoir Shut Up, I’m Talking! With a career that long, Jason has plenty of stories to tell. And judging by the title of his book, he’d appreciate it if you’d let him finish.

Jessica Alaniz brings a younger perspective to the stage. Born and raised in San Antonio, Texas, Jessica now lives in Los Angeles and performs throughout the country. Her comedy draws from her Mexican heritage, dating experiences and the life advice she gets from her mother. She combines sharp observations with personal stories that aren’t always flattering to herself. Which is one of the hazards of becoming a comedian. Eventually, your family becomes material.

Also joining the shows are Dan Levin, Al Gavi and The Comedy Heights LaughPac rounding out a weekend featuring four comedians with plenty to say.

And that’s where you come in.

Friday, November 13 and Saturday, November 14

8 PM at Lestat’s, 3343 Adams Ave., San Diego

$5 cover, which converts to same-day café credit

For five dollars, you get an evening of live stand-up featuring performers with television credits, national touring experience and enough personal problems to keep everyone entertained.

Make plans to join us this weekend. Bring your partner, bring your friends, and help us fill the room. You can stay home and watch comedy on television anytime. This weekend, come see the comedians in person. They can hear you laughing, and that’s half the fun.
