ABOUT PAUL CONYERS, WHO IS ME**But only to me. To you, you're "me" and I'm someone else. Got it? Super. Let's read a bio. Hi there! If you're reading this, you're either A) one of my relatives who's "just tickled to see that Pauly has his own website," or B) someone I met after a show who only wanted to say "nice job" as you were leaving but was pestered into coming here. Either way, good to have you. My name is Paul Conyers and I'm a comedian from the San Francisco Bay Area. I've been able to perform all over California and beyond. I am excited to continue my comedy journey by entertaining one disinterested dive bar crowd at a time. Here's some cool stuff that's happened to me: Released debut special in 2020, Above The Fray. Winner of the 2020 World Series of Comedy Main Event in Las Vegas, NV. Performed in the SF Sketchfest Comedy Festival 2019 & 2020. Performed at the Big Pine Comedy Festival, Oakland Comedy Festival & more. Currently playing on SiriusXM Radio, Spotify & Pandora. Performed at Laughs for Life, a benefit for San Francisco Suicide Prevention. Paid regular at clubs & casinos all over the U.S. & Canada. One time I rode a saddled triceratops at the Creation Museum in Boone County, Kentucky and he looked less than thrilled.$6, Free with SUNY Oneonta Event PassFollow us @OneontaAC for updates.
