Crisis Hopkins - closed

Where'd you go, ensemble cast?


Well, there's not enough to go on to say any one of the 50 restaurants at the Embarcadero Center evolved from the ashes of Crisis Hopkins, so let's just gently take a curtain call and say closed. 

And it's too bad - the place was a comedy/improv bar, with music, magic, stand-up, and more. The yelpers gave the place rave reviews, from the performers to the ambiance. The comedy troupe in particular had a loyal following. 

Information on the comedy show from 2010:
Presenting Crisis Hopkins’ latest full-length, original comedy show featuring a unique blend of improv, sketch & video. Following on the heels of last Spring’s innovative and acclaimed One Nation Under Crisis, Crisis Hopkins takes on the themes of the times: job hunting, casual sex, technology, NPR, personal crises, Non-Governmental Organizations & dance therapy. Yes, there will be leotards. Bring your problems, Crisis Hopkins will provide the easy, improvised answers.
