BRIAN COPELAND BRINGS POWERHOUSE COMEDY LINEUP TO SAN LEANDRO
San Leandro, CA — May 7, 2026 — Emmy Award-winning comedian Brian Copeland has announced that internationally acclaimed stand-up comedian Tom Rhodes has been added to the Powerhouse Lineup for Brian Copeland Presents Comedy in the Plaza™, taking place Saturday, July 18 at the San Leandro Tech Campus.
A former star of his own NBC sitcom and one of the most globally traveled comedians working today, Rhodes has performed stand-up in more than 60 countries and is widely regarded as a pioneer of international comedy touring. His stand-up specials and appearances on Comedy Central have made him a favorite among comedy fans worldwide, while his sharp, observational style continues to resonate across cultures.
Rhodes joins previously announced performers Greg Proops (Whose Line Is It Anyway?) and Laurie Kilmartin (Conan, Academy Awards writer), with additional comedians to be announced in the coming weeks.
Hosted by Brian Copeland, Comedy in the Plaza™ returns as one of the Bay Area’s most anticipated summer events, bringing top-tier comedic talent from San Francisco, Los Angeles, and New York to an unforgettable outdoor setting.
This year’s event also includes a major community partnership with the Davis Street Family Resource Center. Sponsorship support will help provide 100 backpacks and 100 pairs of school shoes for San Leandro children in need—making the event both a night of world-class entertainment and a direct investment in the local community.
