Somebody's in the money.

After 6 consecutive nights of competition, the first 5 semi-finalists of the Competition have been selected. They will be joined by 5 more from an entirely new group of competitors, to be determined through more 6 shows this week, beginning Wednesday November 9 at the fabulous Mirabeau Room on Lower Queen Anne.

All 5 have have now won a minimum of $500, and have a shot at the $5000 grand prize. Here they are, in the order they finished for the week, keeping in mind that their scores now go back to zero for the semi-final round, which begins Wednesday November 16 at the historic Liberty Theater in Puyallup.

Week One Semi Finalists: 1. Graham Clark 2. Andy Peters 3. Heneghen 4. Jy Harris 5. Lamont Ferguson

Nice crowd at The Comedy Underground, although a little more sedate tha we're used to seeing there.
On the night: 1. Graham Clark 2. Lamont Ferguson 3. Heneghen 4. Travis Simmons 5. Andy Peters
The difference between 2nd and 4th was the difference between Ferguson and Simmons for the 5th slot, that's how close it was.

Our thanks to all the comedians who participated, look for them in your cell phones soon.

And away we go. . .

If you live in the city of Seattle, tonight's show at the Mirabeau Room is the only in-city appearance of the weekfor this group of 16 comedians. Please join us.
