Comedy Night

Seattle's stand-up comedy scene is nationally recognized for it's diversity and quality and Pagliacci Pizza is proud to be a fan and supporter. It started out with sponsoring the much-loved late night TV show Almost Live and continues to this day. Pagliacci sponsored the 2008 Seattle International Comedy Competition, sponsors People Republic of Komedy's alt-comedy showcase Laffhole and has an all ages comedy show the first Monday of every month at the Broadway Pizzeria. This show gives comics an opportunity that they rarely have, the chance to perform in front of children eating pizza in well-lit room. Most comedy shows are in dimly lit rooms with a 21+ age requirement and children are not allowed. If there are kids there they have really good fake ID's or moustaches. At Pagliacci's Comedy Night children are legally allowed to be there and many children use this opportunity to enjoy live comedy. This can throw some of the comedians off. There are certain words that can't be used around children (these words are too sophisticated for their developing minds and usually include four letters) because those words make them angry. Angry children are dangerous. Not being able to use these words means that comics have to tell "family friendly" jokes (a family is a pack of children usually led by one or two adults, even more dangerous when angered). For the last eleven months skilled professionals and talented amateurs have taken the challenge and performed at the Broadway Pizzeria. Each show consists of a handful of Seattle's best local comics and a professional headliner. This weeks featured comedian is the very talented Brian Boshes. Comedy fans are encouraged to come and see this brave young man take the challenge not to anger the children.

Emmett Montgomery is Pagliacci's Catering Coordinator by day and a stand-up comic at night. He is one of the founding members of the People's Republic of Komedy and head writer for the monthly variety show Get Loweded. He hosts Pagliacci's Comedy Night every month and will be performing at the Sasquatch and Bumbershoot festivals this summer and his face can currently be seen on the 11" pizza box.

Catch Brian Boshes at the Broadway Pizzeria this Monday, April 6, at 8 pm.
