About Talk Show Live: San Francisco

What is Talk Show Live?

San Francisco is full of people with great stories to tell, and 429 Productions wants to match them up with audience members – like you – who want to hear them.   We've  created a unique new performance event that takes place in front of a live audience. Once a month, host Kurt Bodden interviews performers, authors, business owners, politicians, artists, chefs ... intriguing people with something to say to a live audience. Plus, each show feature sour fabulous house band, Cafe Americain, led by SF jazz impresario Ned Boynton.

The audience is part of the show.

Come early, and stay late! We want you to meet the guests, the musicians, and the other members of the audience who share your interests. Before the show, enjoy the band’s warm-up set and grab your table.  After the show, the music keeps going for the after-party, and we’ll mingle over drinks, music, and of course, conversation. We're all part of the show.
