San Franciscan Tom Ammiano is no stranger to the standup comedy scene—or to the tenacity that being a queer comic requires. “The more s— you give us, the stronger we get. And every good comic will take any kind of adversity and turn it into comic gold,” he says. Ammiano will lead by example when he takes the stage for “Pride Is a Laugh Riot” on June 25 at the SF Eagle Bar. He’ll be joined by comedians Binya Kóatz, Nebulous Niang, Julia Jackson and Wonder Dave and special guest Race Bannon.

Andy Iwancio and Natasha Muse both have been doing standup comedy for over a decade, live on the West Coast (Seattle and San Francisco, respectively), and have a penchant for puns. Oh, and they’re both transgender. “I think we get along not just because we’re trans women, but because we both love silly wordplay. We’re just as dorky about it, and so I think that’s largely what we’ve bonded over. But then also the trans thing,” Iwancio says.
