Hosting the first Preliminary week is Canadian comedy star PAUL MYREHAUG.Paul finished 2nd in the 2006 Seattle Comedy Competition, a mere prelude to 2007 when he not only was named a finalist at the Boston Comedy Festival, but went on to win $25,000 as the champion of The Great Canadian Laugh-Off and got his own 1-hour comedy special on Canada's Comedy Network.
Week 2 host VINCE VALENZUELA commutes between Seattle and LA, and whose TV guest star and commercial appearances make him a familiar face to tube-watchers everywhere. And when the producers of the TV show "Leverage" went looking for an Irish-cop-type, it was only natural that they would cast the ethnically Mexican/Italian Valenzuela! His episode of the hit TNT show airs in January, but we're thrilled that we can present him live on stage this month.
