Comedian Quinn Dahle January 30-31
With appearances on The Tonight Show, Showtime, Comedy Central, Lopez Tonight and Carson Daly, Quinn is a smart, clean and witty stand-up comic with impeccable timing. He has worked with such names as Robin Williams, Drew Carey, Tim Allen, Dane Cook, Dana Carvey, Norm McDonald, Jon Lovitz, Bill Maher, Frank Caliendo, David Alan Grier, John Witherspoon, Tommy Chong, John Pinette and Harland Williams. Originally from Minnesota, Quinn has lived in Colorado and Arizona before settling in Los Angeles, California to pursue a career in comedy. He tours from coast to coast and has even entertained our troops as far away as Japan. Quinn's comedy appeals to all age groups and ethnicities and he loves to talk about them all. Being married to a Mexican-American girl from east L.A., he is never short of material. However, audiences often come back just for his improvisational crowd work where he can be the most spontaneous. Quinn is currently developing a sit-com based on his life and looks forward to using the silver screen to further build his fan base. When: Friday, January 30 and Saturday, January 31 Time: 9:00 pm each night Tickets: $15 per person Reservations: 925-634-1025 |

GINO MARCHETTI (Antioch's most famous professional football player) and Slats Mazzei the namesake for what was the Slats Mazzei Pontiac Cadillac dealership here in town. This photo was taken almost 50 years ago when the city of Antioch honored it's NFL Hall Of Fame defensive lineman in February 1965 with a celebration at the Contra Costa County Fairgrounds. Colts owner Carroll Rosenbloom was there and Lon Simmons was the emcee. This was a big deal and a great day for Antioch.
