As the clock ticks down for the fifth annual Bridgetown Comedy Festival, I am so excited I can barely keep from jumping out of my skin, but also keep in mind that I’ve had quite a lot of coffee.
The schedule is a behemoth of amazing possibilities- please start perusing it now. Please also note you can subscribe to the calendar on Google Calendar, a new feature for this year that’s pretty slick!
Anyone who is a fan of me personally will note that my shows are:
- Bossanova Lounge Early Show
$10.00 – Friday, April 13, 2012, 7:00 pm @ Bossanova Lounge
My first show is Friday the 13th! Spoooooky! I’ll be with the very funny Walsh Brothers, my new LA friend Brandon Vaughn, and Seattle professional art weirdo Emmett Montgomery!
Postscript: Everyone had a great set, and I was especially glad to enjoy Dave Child for the first time! This was a super show, even though Maria Bamford watched my set and made me super nervous! It’s just because she’s the most giving and wonderful human in the world, and also the funniest.
- Best of SICC
$20.00 – Saturday, April 14, 2012, 9:00 pm @ Bossanova Main
The Best of the Seattle International Comedy Competition- some legendary PNW heavy hitters, including Auggie Smith, Dax Jordan, and my LA BFF Eddie Pence, and Kyle Harbert, who kicked an amazing amount of ass his first competition.
Postscript: On the down side, at the opening of this show, I performed for 10 people, but it had filled out by the end. Auggie Smith’s new material on his marriage was hysterical. Eddie Pence pointed out that what we think are pets are animal slaves. Patrick Keane climbed set pieces and made me concerned not just that he would die, but that he would waste his time dying for a half-empty house.
- Portlandia Players
$10.00 – Sunday, April 15, 2012, 7:00 pm @ Hawthorne Theatre Lounge
Guess what all these comedians have in common! We’ve all been on Portlandia! Kristine Levine is a repeat performer, the very funny Alex Gavlick appears as Fred and Carrie’s son, Ian Karmel made waves first season, and Veronica Heath wore underwear on-camera! A nice picking of PNW talent!
Postscript: This was unexpectedly a PACKED show- one of the really good ideas implemented at Bridgetown this year was doing more theme shows, so that non-comedy nerd people could get a feel for who/what they were seeing- and people like television, so I got to do an AWESOME set PACKED with people! So good!
I’ll also be attending Baby Ketten Karaoke (LATE) on Thursday night at the Alibi, and Sunday night at Kelly’s Olympian, if you wanna sing with me and you don’t like sleep! Can’t wait to see you!
Postscript: (Why not) Kettens still hate Alibi, but John Brophy sanged me a song, and on Sunday night’s Ketten at Kelly’s I achieved some life goals:
1. Singing Marc Almond’s disco cover of Jacky, rather than the “classy” Scott Walker version
2. Improvising a routine to another singer’s “All That Jazz” from Chicago
3. Completing the trilogy of Cramps songs on the Baby Ketten book with “Garbageman.”
All in all, a magical weekend of fun!
