San Francisco's 2nd funniest comic magician, Ash K the Pretty Good (aka Ashkenazi the Pretty Good), hales from Balka (a very small country East of Poland), and has lived in the San Francisco Bay Area for fourteen years. Born to a family of professional entertainers in the Eastern Europe, Ash K. began performing for paying audiences by age thirteen, and by age fourteen, allowed them to leave the room for additional payment. Recently asked about his experience in America as a foreign national, Ash K. responded, "I like it here very much. For one, I have not been incarcerated, even briefly, which is a lot better than some folks are doing both home and here." When not performing for corporate crowds and private parties all over the world, Ash K. enjoys crochet (traditionally, a man's hobby in his country) and jogging. Needless to say, Ash K. is perfect for grown-up and kids crowds who love to laugh. He's magically hilarious!
