MAMA winning comedian Chris Teicheira has now made the jump to comedy club owner. One of the funniest people in our area, Chris has been a vital part of our comedy scene as a stand up and comedian at some of Modesto past festivals like XFest and LuckyFest. When he is not tending to acres and acres of his fields, he has been building his comedy dream that opened in December 2023.
Deaf Puppy Club on Main Street in Manteca is now on the comedy map. Two local comedians who have achieved national fame, Marcella Arguello and Kris Tinkle opened the club and since the opening, comedians from all over the region and nation are bringing the laughs. Laughs are needed now more than ever.
Sadly, the namesake of the club, deaf puppy, Banshee passed away just before the opening but his spirit still inspires. The club, true to its name continues to support dog friendly activities like Mutts and Mimosas and others. There is a full-service bar, pizza oven and grill, open Wed-Sun, 11 am till closing. With comedians, you never know when that will be.
There are open mic nights and a good line-up on deck. Thanks to Chris, the area comedians and the support of local patrons and comedy lovers, this club will be a comedy game changer. Thanks to 105.5 DJ Roman Guzman who presents comedy events at The Post in north Modesto too. Comedy is a key part of our community conversation and in times like this, it’s usually the comedians that are telling the truth, so we need much more of that in our lives. Go yuk it up!
