SPECIAL BLURB! -- Auditions for the 40th Annual Seattle International Comedy Competition begin here tonight starting at 8 pm and will continue on 9/10 and 9/17. There was a little scheduling confusion and by the time it was straightened it out, our webmaster was off to Burning Man without access to a computer. My bad. So, please spread the word. Thanks. -- Your humble producer, Jon Fox.

ON THE 2ND DAY OF XMAS, OUR TRUE FRIEND GAVE TO THEE -- Six recording artists! David Drozen of Uproar CD (formerly Uproar Records) is best known for discovering Richard Pryor. His other great discovery is probably the Comedy Underground as the perfect recording venue.

Dating back to 2009, David has recorded the majority of his new discoveries right here, generally about six acts a year. His Seattle visits have also resulted in Uproar signing and promoting local acts like Brett Hamil and Travis Simmons.

Tonight thru Saturday, Steven Briggs will be making his northwest debut here with "tape rolling". Come be part of this ongoing special occasion.

Local comics Leah Mansfield from Port Orchard and Jeremy Whitman from Tacoma got hitched Wednesday and they're already becoming quite the celebrity couple. Leah dropped by tonight to do a guest set and announced, "I'm a Le***an. He's straight. I'm his wing man. If they don't go for me, I pass them along to Jeremy."

Ah marriage, the sacred institution.

We just had a very rough weekend. The city managed to flood the club while doing some supposedly routine "water main flushing" so we had to cancel our shows with Huck Flynn. Huck is rescheduled for December 14 and 15.

We hope to come back strong this upcoming Thanksgiving weekend with a brand new headliner, Ricarlo Flanagan from Detroit. Recarlo came within .15 of a point of making the cut when this year's Seattle Comedy Competition finalists were announced on Saturday at Snoqualmie Casino. Now he has agreed to stick around to perform here.

He is absolutely hilarious talking about his reasons for not getting married and presenting one of the best Obama impressions in the business. Don't miss this guy. It will most likely be some time before he's back in the northwest.
