More sad news to report. The winner of the 2000 Seattle International Comedy Competition, Floyd J Phillips, has passed away. Our condolences to his family and friends.

With profound sadness, we join the many voices paying tribute to Peggy Platt, who passed away this morning.

A Seattle comedy legend, the only woman to have won the Seattle International Comedy Competition (in 1985) and a wonderful person…she will be missed.

It was an incredible season of comedy for the 38th Annual Seattle International Comedy Competition. We had great performances from all 32 performers. From the Preliminary Week shows, to the Semifinals and on to the Finals, we were told many times how strong people found this year’s comedians to be and how fun the shows were. We really had a great time bringing these shows to you.

We have the top five results for the night from Comedy Underground.

Myles Anderson – Victoria

Taylor Clark – Everett

Matt Donaher – Boston

Alex Falcone – Portland

Nick Hart – Madison

Just when you think this thing is locked down so you can make a prediction, standup comedy happens and it’s anyones guess. For the first two nights Matt Donaher was clearly the winner. Then Friday night, Myles Anderson took first place at the Kirkland Performance Center. At the Admiral Theatre, Nick Hart was the clear winner. Now it’s anybody’s guess.

The Kirkland Performance Center was sold out and absolutely full for our third show of five in the Finals Week of the 38th Annual Seattle International Comedy Competition. It was our only trip to the Eastside this year and it was worth it.

Tonight’s show requires a ferry ride to attend. We are heading to the Vashon Theatre, conveniently located on Vashon Island. This is always a fabulous show and it’s our 15th show at the theatre. As usual, it’s sold out.

There’s only three shows left until the event comes to a close at the Comedy Underground on Sunday.

We started out the Finals of the 38th Annual Seattle International Comedy Competition in the Crystal Ballroom at the world famous Washington Athletic Club. In this round, we can get a flavor of a comics full act and right out of the gate the comics brought the thunder to a very appreciative crowd.

Tonight was the last show of the Semifinals. Ten very funny comics take the stage at Laughs Comedy Club in Seattle.

Five will advance to the Finals of the 38th Annual Seattle International Comedy Competition.

There is 1/100th of a point separating fifth and sixth place. That’s the difference between the Finals and going home. This is a show you should see.
