July 6, 8 p.m. Jokes at the Junction at Great American Diner

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 Vanessa Dawn. Vanessa is a comedian from Tulsa, Oklahoma now living in the Pacific Northwest. Her relaxed comedy style sneaks up on you like an unmarked car at a DUI checkpoint.

She has performed at the Seattle International Comedy Competition, Blue Whale Comedy Festival, Black Girl Giggles Comedy Festival, Northwest Women’s Comedy Festival, and Northwest Black Comedy Festival and performs regularly at clubs and casinos throughout the Northwest. Tickets: $10.
