Visiting Tukwila

The 44th Seattle International Comedy Competition is officially underway. We kicked things off by Visiting Tukwila, an old school euphemism which does not mean stage a comedy show at a casino.

Great American Casino is a new venue and it’s great. They have good pizza, good crowds and we brought the good comedy. 16 comics take the stage hoping to grab only five spots to advance to the Semifinals. It was a great start and looking forward to seeing how the week progresses.

The Top Five Has Seven People!

In this competition, we announce the top five scores every night. But sometimes we get ties, so we introduce everyone. This is why we have seven people in the Top Five.
