Rae Rae Messer
Queer · Gender Queer · Gay | They/Them
Rae Rae started doing comedy at Hysteria, Safe Words' free open mic for women and queer performers at the SF Eagle. This is their debut booking, and we're thrilled to debut them. Rae Rae is both terrified and grateful to be alive, and generally trying to stay awake during the middle part of the day after lunch. Trying not to be overwrought by political doom, Rae Rae distracts themself by doing social work by day, and watching Heated Rivalry or the Valkyries while eating comfort cereal at night. Also, they are totally thrilled to be in a Union, and think everyone should try it, at least once.
Lisa Geduldig

From July 2020 until September 2024, Lisa produced the monthly Lockdown Comedy on Zoom from the underwear drawer in the guest room at her mother's retirement community home in Florida, where she accidentally got marooned (in Florida, not in the underwear drawer) for 17 months during the pandemic (and became a fan of the Early Bird special). She commuted between Florida and San Francisco for the next three years. Lisa appeared in a Canadian documentary, Dreaming of a Jewish Christmas, which aired on Canadian and European TV in December 2017. She is also a freelance arts publicist in both English and Spanish.

Safe Words is San Francisco's longest-running queer comedy showcase, held monthly at The SF Eagle. Each show is carefully curated to highlight both emerging talent and seasoned voices from across the LGBTQ+ spectrum. Our goal is to create a space where queer and trans performers can take the stage without compromise—and where queer audiences feel seen, celebrated, and safe. Bring your people, grab a ticket, and join us at the Eagle for a night built around queer audiences and queer comics doing their best work.
Whether it's your first show or your fiftieth, welcome to the room. We're glad you're here.
