DESCRIPTION:SAN FRANCISCO, CA- If the current election season doesn’t make the case 
 for the issues of parts of the country being at odds over the current state 
 of race relations and the lack of acceptance of diversity, then perhaps the 
 lack of LGBT, women and people of color in television, stage, media and 
 film also reinforces the fact that opportunities for minorities are 
 scarce—particularly in entertainment, and in this case, stand-up comedy.  
 \nOn the heels of a promotional tour for his new documentary film “A 
 Tough Act To Follow”, which focuses on homophobia, sexism and the lack of 
 opportunities for minorities in comedy, Sampson McCormick, (Sampson), a 
 black, LGBT comedian and activist continues to tour to promote the 
 visibility of people of color and queer comics onstage. \nThe veteran 
 comic, who is considered a pioneer, and has been performing around the 
 country for well over a decade, will present a concert show “Shea Butter 
 & Jesus: A Stand Up Comedy Show featuring Sampson” to the San Francisco 
 Punch Line Comedy Club 444 Battery Street  San Francisco, CA 94111 on 
 Tuesday August 23, 2016 Doors at 730PM Showtime at 8PM. \nAdditionally, as 
 the show promotes visibility and diversity on the stand-up stage, topics of 
 the evening will focus on current political, social and news events, and a 
 myriad of other issues of the day. \nTickets are: $15 and can be purchased 
 at www.punchlinecomedyclub.com or calling (415) 397-7573\n\nAbout the 
 headliner: Sampson is an experience, a down to earth comedic force of 
 nature, and one of the most celebrated LGBT comics working.  Named “One 
 of the 12 Queer Comics That You Should Know” by OUT Magazine, and “One 
 of the Funniest LGBT Comics” by The Advocate, Huffington Post and Buzz 
 Feed, he’s appeared on MTV, TV One, Bravo, and his comedy special “That 
 B*@&! Better Be Funny”. \nHis comedy offers fresh and riveting takes on 
 sexuality, race, religion and politics—you know… all the things you 
 aren’t supposed to talk about in polite company.\n\n
