" I've attended two of Samantha's events thus far - a comedy fundraiser for Alzheimer's disease and her inaugural Comedy Night at Deep Sea Winery; both were sold out events and with good reason. It's evident that her shows are thoughtfully curated, from the event space to comedians she chooses and the order in which they preform. The performers have all been hilarious, but I must say, Sam's MC skills are on point and easily steal the show! I loved attending both of her events and can't wait to see what she comes up with next!

“I don’t know how Samantha does it! She organizes events with the greatest of ease and really puts together stellar shows. Samantha has a serious talent for bringing together professional and uber funny comics and vendors to keep her audience happy and laughing. She’s organized, creative and passionate about bringing her visions to life in a way that seems so effortless. If you’re looking to host an event of your own, HIRE SAMANTHA! If you’re looking to have a super fun, laughter-filled evening, be sure to check out one of her events with Bear Cave Comedy! “

“What a night to remember! I laughed so so hard I cried (and peed a little). The comics were so diverse and hilarious in their own ways. Sam is truly bringing the comedy scene to life in Santa Barbara and she put together an incredible slow- her bits woven into the whole show were pure gold!. I’ll be at the next one for sure. Laughter is therapy, thank you Sam! “

“In my years of doing stand up comedy, I have dealt with a lot of different event coordinators. There are a lot of moving parts to an event so I empathize and can understand the amount of stress that each coordinator is under and for someone to be able to delegate all of that while maintaining their composure, great attitude and sense of humor all while also making you feel that you are of the upmost value within the event, that is Samantha Bearman. Her delegation skills are unmatched with any event coordinator that I have worked with. Her confidence is through the roof because when she knows that she is going to throw an amazing event, she knows. Her passion for wanting to give back to her community is something that I aspire towards. She has a heart of gold and it is very transparent. I am very fortunate that I get to partner up with her for future events and with her by my side, I know that the events that are coming up in our future are going to be a home run! You would be very lucky to have your next event coordinated by Samantha Bearman. “
