The 33rd Annual Seattle International Comedy Competition starts November 1, 2012 at Naked City Brewing & Tap House in Seattle's Greenwood neighborhood, and continues until a winner is crowned on Sunday, November 25 at The Comedy Underground in Seattle.
There are two "preliminary" rounds of 16-17 comedians; each comedian gets 5 minutes to impress. The Preliminary rounds consist of 6 shows, and a combination of entertainment industry and celebrity judges and audience reaction determines who moves on when each performer's 5 best scores are tallied.
The week 1 performers - November 1-5 2012 - are:
1) Nate Abshire (Minneapolis)
2) Erik Allen (Los Angeles/Minneapolis)
3) Hannah Boone (Olympia/Los Angeles)
4) Brian Boshes (Seattle)
5) Nathan Brannon (Portland)
6) Mike Coletta (Seattle)
7) Tony Daniel (Seattle)
8) Ricarlo Flanagan (Detroit)
9) Matt Holt (Indianapolis)
10) Nigel Larson (Tacoma)
11) Justin Leon (Kansas City)
12) Michael Malone (Los Angeles)
13) Elliot Maxx (Ballard)
14) Randy Mendez (Portland)
15) Jen Seaman (Seattle)
16) Michelle Shaughnessy (Vancouver BC)
17) Jeremy Whitman (Tacoma)
The top 5 comics from the Preliminaries make the semi-finals; all the semi-finalists win some cash, and get to compete for the title by performing for 10 minutes nightly for 5 shows.
At the last Semi-Final show this year for the first time at the Snoqualmie Casino the finalists are announced. Five get to go big, and five get to go home. After 2 days to recover and plan, the Final round begins on Tuesday November 20 at the Washington Athletic Club.
