Final Night - Moore Theatre

Going into the final night of the final week of the 31st Annual Seattle International Comedy Competition, what some had thought was a solid lock was suddenly up for grabs. The minute that people had found out that Auggie Smith was doing the Seattle International Comedy Competition, people felt that a strong touring headliner hailing from this region of the country would be the prohibitive favorite. When Auggie went ahead and won this year's San Francisco Comedy Competition, that belief was solidified. When Auggie went ahead and took top honors for the first two nights of the Finals Week, it seemed to confirm what a lot of people had believed--that this was Auggie's year to do the unimaginable...to win both the San Francisco Comedy Competition and the Seattle International Comedy Competition in the same year.

No one had EVER done that.
