Sabin CDC was formed in 1991 when a group of concerned residents of the Sabin neighborhood decided to address needs in their community. These neighbors were concerned because rapidly rising housing costs were driving out many of their longtime neighbors. This eroded the diversity of this culturally rich, mixed income neighborhood. To that end Sabin CDC has had 20+ year history of providing quality affordable rental and land trust housing within the Sabin, King, Vernon, Humboldt, Concordia, Boise-Eliot, and Overlook neighborhoods. Now more than ever, Sabin CDC is playing a key role in maintaining a rich diversity in these neighborhoods by providing a variety of affordable housing choices.

Daniels has also recorded three CDs along with a half-hour "Comedy Central Presents..." special and his most recent one-hour special, "As Is".

Actor, Comedian, and Social Media Super Star Celeste Barber is the self-proclaimed queen of everyday sophistication and low budget lifestyle aspirations.

Her meteoric rise on Instagram, parodying celebrity photographs, has resulted in her taking meetings with top moguls of the entertainment industry and awkwardly becoming friends with the very people she is parodying.

In this exciting live show experience Celeste explains the story behind some of her most famous images, her new relationship with famous people, and the stalkers, fans, and comments that get under her skin.

Hailed as The Funniest Woman on Instagram, Celeste also hits us with a healthy dose of humor, as she explains some of the pitfalls of being married to someone so much hotter than her (shoutout to #hothusband) and what it’s like to be an Anti Influencer.
