Often political and always hilarious, Non-Profit Comedy has been been featured
in the Seattle P-I and has raised over $50,000 for worthy non-profits.
Current one-night record: $8,900 for Puget Sound Community School!!!

"Congratulations on a fabulous show. This was a great event, a wonderful way for us to
get outside the proverbial box, and to laugh! I'll have to become a devotee of your
other shows (if I can figure out how to do that with two little ones at home...)"
-- Peter Drury, former Development Director, Sightline Institute

Next show! Tue June 30: NARAL Pro-Choice Washington

Show details: Showtime 8-9:30pm at the Comedy Underground, 109 S. Washington St. in Occidental Park. Cover is $12 ($6 w/ student ID), at least half gets donated, buy tickets at the door. The Comedy Underground is open to all ages except Fri/Sat, but it is always a free speech zone, so think twice if you're easily offended or bringing impressionable youths. The club is down a flight of stairs but elevator access is available if arranged in advance. Free street parking is often available nearby, as are pay parking lots and most downtown buses.
