Washington Athletic Club: Seattle – Private Event
November 25, 2025 @ 8:00 pm – 10:30 pm

The Crystal Ballroom at the Washington Athletic Club transforms into a comedy club for the first night of the Seattle International Comedy Competition Finals. We are bringing together the Top Five comedians from across North America and beyond, competing to be the champion.
Judges score the comedians, and the audience adds one crucial role: the better the response, the higher the score. There are only five slots available to advance to the Finals, so the comedians must make every show count. This show sells out well in advance, so get your tickets now!
This is a Private Show
This is a private show which is only open to members of WAC and their guests. Thanksgiving is coming up, so I suggest joining.
If you are a member and wish to attend, you might need to download an app to reserve tickets. I have no idea since I am sadly not a member. I assumed you sent a parchment note via a mounted rider that you request a spot or something.
The Finalists






The Real Last Comic Standing
This event truly is the “Last Comic Standing”. The Competition attracts comedians from across North America and beyond. This event is one of the most prestigious comedy events in North America, launching the careers of people like Mitch Hedberg, Gabriel Rutledge and Joey Diaz. It is an outrageously funny evening, where you will see the comedy stars of tomorrow competing for their chance at fame and fortune. Hundreds of comedians audition each year to compete, but only 32 comedians are chosen.
