Stanford Live Brings
Comedy To Life at the Bing

Watching Zigrino’s talent with how
she shifted her humor from an adult-
heavy 7PM show to a more youthful
crowd of Stanford students at 9PM
was a huge lesson for me as an emcee
that night. As host, I also had to read
the crowd and warm up the room for
the opener and main act. As Zigrino
masterfully showed, no matter how well
you prepare, you can never know what
material you’ll get by interacting with
the audience.
Venturing into the world of stand-up
comedy was a rather spontaneous
decision for me. Before coming to
Stanford, I had never done stand up.
My friend, Deedee Anderson, introduced
me to the student club and, rather
spontaneously, I began performing
sets at Stand Up, D’s weekly open
mics at CoHo. When I first joined, the
group often felt like it was a boy’s club,
especially since Deedee and I, the
two new members, were also the only
women. Although I am now a senior and
the president of Stand Up, D, I remain
one of the group’s only female members. by Stanford Live in collaboration with 1.

From greeting audience members
as they arrive to guiding patrons
to their seats and providing
crucial information throughout
the venue, our Stanford Live
ushers are a key part of each and
every event that we present.
We spent some time with a few
of our ushers recently and asked
them to share their favorite parts 1
of being behind the scenes. Dave

and Ellie Scandling are a husband

and wife usher duo who’ve been
with Stanford Live for over nine
years. “As an usher,” says Dave,
“you get to see people who come
see the shows they love. It brings
a real joy into our jobs.”
Linda Faste, who’s been a
Stanford Live usher for over
fifteen years, mentioned that
she loved seeing shows she knew
nothing about: “We’ve been
here to witness everyone from
Yo-Yo Ma to Jake Shimabukuro
to Audra McDonald!”
Linda, Dave, and Ellie have all
been with the Stanford Live team
since before the Bing Concert
Hall was built—and they’re part
of a much larger usher team that
is bound together by their love
of music, theater, and dance. We
wouldn’t be here without them!
