Marsh Theater Adds New Free Entertainment During The Week
13 November 2012
New On Wednesday: Sketch Comedy
Thursday: Live Ragtime
Continuing On Friday: TGIF with a Rotating Band of Entertainers
FREE AND OPEN TO ALL WITH A FULL BAR AND FOOD
Happy hours have become so popular that The Marsh Berkeley is now presenting the same winning mix of fun, food and entertainment on Wednesday and Thursday evenings as well Fridays.
On Wednesday, Mike Spieglman will host sketch comedy groups (or individuals) performing comedic characters, sketches, anything that’s not stand-up comedy! And on Thursdays, starting with the wonderful Larisa Migachyov, the Cabaret will be filled with the deliciously jazzy sounds of live ragtime piano. Fridays will continue to offer a rotating band of exotic, whimsical and talented entertainers. In November, Wayne Harris is singing the Blues and coming up in December and January, Sebastian Boswell III, mesmerizing mentalist, will give mind-reading demonstrations, as well as display unique physical abilities, including ancient yogi skills, too odd to be explained and which must be seen to be believed.
This is all not-to-miss and completely free – what better way to end the day.
The Marsh Berkeley’s full bar offers festive happy-hour discounts including specialty cocktails and handpicked wine and beer. There is also great bar food—Portobello Panini’s, Mango Guacamole Salsa and fresh-baked cookies. Everyone is welcome; including those getting an early start for our 8 pm performances.

Friday Happy Hour
TGIF With a Rotating Band of Entertainers
November: Wayne Harris & Friends Play Jazz, Blues & R&B
The shows will be a bit like an urban A Prairie Home Companion, with various musical and storytelling moments. Think Garrison Keillor meets Langston Hughes with a healthy dose of “Yo Mama” jokes. Here are the lineups:
11/16 & 11/30-The Intones (East Bay’s Best Rock, Blues, R&B and Bugle Band)
11/23 – Jazz quintet, guest pianist and new stories from Wayne Harris
December, 2012 & January 2013: Sebastian Boswell III-Famed Mentalist
Mentalism is the art and entertainment of extraordinary mental powers. Sebastian Boswell III, considered by many one of its most distinctive practitioners, will give mind-reading demonstrations, as well as display unique physical abilities, including ancient yogi skills too odd to be explained and which must be seen to be believed, and otherwise exhibiting his extraordinary physical and mental prowess. An international performer, his career spans the distance from Finland to the country music stages of Norman, Oklahoma, and almost everywhere in between. He has yet to perform in Qatar or Newfoundland, but the century is still young.
WHEN: 6:00 pm – 7:30 pm
WHERE: Cabaret at The Marsh Berkeley, 2120 Allston Way near Shattuck
