A packed house proves Yakima, Washington loves comedy. In fact, they can't seem to stop talking about it. We were at Pete's Nightclub in downtown Yakima which features a killer sound system, mutiple big projection screens so you could see the comics from every spot in the room. You could be horizontal below a table and still catch all of Damonde Tschritter's act.

Pete's also features an authentic go-go stage which is perfect for dancers and naturally, comedians. This stage could also double as a high dive platform if the dance floor just happened to be a swimming pool. The reason I mention this is the fact that a lesser comedian who had trouble walking might have looked at the stage and decided to work the room from the floor. But not Debbie Wooten. No sir, no way. Nothing was going to keep her from going up there and tearing up the room which is exactly what she did.

Here is the top five for the night:

1 Debbie Wooten
2 Tyler Boeh
3 Rosie Tran
4 Dylan Mandlsohn
5 Tony Daniel

We'd like to thank Pete's for putting the comics up in the coolest green room we've seen so far in the event. It wasn't so much a green room as a VIP Lounge we renamed for the night, "The Champagne Room". I sincerely hope we get a chance to come back to the club for comedy in the near future.

Plus - as you can see above - ENDLESS SHRIMP IS BACK!
