Since 2003 Rodger Lizaola has been pretty awesome at telling jokes. So he has been doing so to strangers in bars and comedy clubs across the country.
Growing up on the mean streets of Gilroy, California, Rodger always had a knack to make his friends laugh as well as those around him, but to get on stage seemed terrifying. Stage fright aside, the opportunity presented itself in February 2003 when he moved to Seattle. Rodger took the stage at Comedy Underground. Those first three mins were absolutely terrifying and exhilarating at the same time. Though the first years were tough and humbling he stuck with it and became one of the youngest headliners in the Northwest.
Lizaola has opened up for such acts as comedy legend David Brenner, Eddie Brill, Louis CK, Tom Cotter, Mike Epps, Jimmy Dore, Tom Rhoads, Ty Barnett, and Alonzo Bodden as well as such Musical acts as The Black Eyed Peas, Pussycat Dolls, Baby Bash, Rhianna, The Fabulous Thunderbirds, Good Charlotte, and The Backstreet Boys.

Handing off the Crown: Nathan Brannan
Nathan Brannon was the winner of the 2014 Seattle International Comedy Competition. He will be on hand to hand off the crown to the 2015 winner.
In addition to winning Seattle, Nathan Brannon was the winner of Helium Comedy Club’s “Portland’s Funniest Person Comedy Competition” in 2012, was voted in Willamette Week’s “Portland’s Funniest 5” in 2013, and released his first comedy album, I Black Out, that same year. He has opened for national headliners such as Dave Chappelle, Damon Wayans, Maria Bamford, and has photoshopped himself into photos with many more. The back of Nathan’s head was seen in NBC’s new series, “Grimm”. Nathan is now seeking a funnier way to end this paragraph.
