You never know what will happen at the Seattle International Comedy Competition. A monthlong stand-up smackdown, it started Wednesday and continues in venues all over Western Washington (plus one date at Whitman College), culminating with finals at the Comedy Underground on Nov. 25.
Unpredictability is the key word — and that extends to the careers of the comedians who have participated since the elimination-style contest first took place in 1980.
