Among the other performances slated for Pet-A-Llama are emerging comedy shows Imaginary Radio, FOLLOW THAT! and Comedians Cinema Club.
Pet-A-Llama was founded by Petaluma resident Dominic Del Bene. “I had worked for an indie-turned-major comedy production company and loved it,” Del Bene said in a statement. “I left because I thought that I could do a better job and be more effective as a producer working for myself than for a large organization. So far, so good. I get to work with talented and creative people and it’s my goal to help them realize their creative goals.”
