Do you think you’re funny? Well, you’re probably not as funny as the folks participating in the 41st Seattle International Comedy Competition which kicks off this week. Get ready to laugh as the competition begins a 17-performance tour throughout the Puget Sound this Thursday.
It’s probably been a while since you’ve watched live comedy so attending this well-loved gathering of funny folks is a great way to get back into it. After all, the competition took 2020 off due to the pandemic. And that being said, things will look pretty similar to years past but there will be some changes, most notably the lack of Comedy Underground. The venue unfortunately did not survive the pandemic.
