You ever hear people say “I saw that comedian when he was just getting started?” Coming to this show is how people get those stories. This is an audition show for our 10 other venues. These comics are vetted and have to submit tape to get a spot to wow our fantastic West Seattle crowd at the Great American Diner. The closer for this month’s show is Sam Miller. Sam is a National Headlining Comedian from Olympia. He was a runner-up in the Seattle International Comedy Competition. Tickets: $10
