He produces, hosts and curates the comedy showcase Joketellers Union at Clockout Lounge on Wednesdays with comedian and comix Brett Hamil and is a regular host of The Moth Seattle and is bookable for storytelling, standup, and weirdness.
Including:
Erin Ingle - Erin Ingle may just be Seattle's sharpest stoner and tenderest feminist, with comedy that's equal parts joy and judgment. Erin has been performing stand-up since 2012 and currently features in clubs around the PNW. National touring is next on her list, following her performance at 2019’s Laughing Skull Comedy Festival and on Comedy Central's "Roast Battle II.”
She's a crowd favorite at bars and breweries all over, and has been seen on NBC, in the “Seattle International Comedy Competition,” at “SheDevil NYC,” “10,000 Laughs,” and “Laugh Your Asheville Off” comedy festivals. She hopes one day to be friends with someone who owns a glamorous boat.
Genevieve Ferrari - Toeing the line between uncomfortable and relatable, Genevieve Ferrari explores the art of aging ungracefully and irresponsibly in your thirties, being a dog parent, and the age-old question: if being petty's wrong, why does it feel so right? They have performed internationally in Mexico, Germany and France, and at Treefort Music Festival,the Seattle International Comedy Competition, Bumbershoot, and most recently at Wet City Comedy Festival 2025.
Mary Lou Gamba - Mary Lou Gamba is an East Coast transplant living it up in the PNW. A middle-aged teenager and delightfully dirty bird, Mary Lou will get you laughing til you snort with her charming wit and silly exaggerations of her wacky life. As a regular headliner and opener for nationally touring comedians, this pint-sized dynamite burns down comedy clubs, bars and locker rooms all over the country. Mary Lou has been featured in HBO's Women in Comedy Festival, Bumbershoot Music and Arts Festival, and was a finalist in the Seattle International Comedy Competition. Watch out, she'll steal your chicken!
Andrew Frank - Andrew Frank is a non-binary autistic comedian based in Seattle. They grew up in fundamentalist Christian spaces and started stand-up comedy at the age of 14. They have performed all over the United States, Canada, and Europe. They recently completed their third Edinburgh Fringe Festival, where they performed two separate solo hours for 25 consecutive nights. Their stand-up is vulnerable, honest, and compassionate, and their character act where they play a ridiculous fundamentalist pastor is wildly satirical, playful, and hysterical. Frank was a semi-finalist in the 2019 Seattle International Comedy Competition and the 2021 San Francisco Comedy Competition. They were recently named “One of the Best Undiscovered Comedians in America” by Thrillist Magazine.
Phil Burton - Phil is a comedian and writer based in Seattle. He was a semifinalist in the 2024 Seattle International Comedy Competition and a featured comedian at the Wet City Comedy Festival.

Snax’s TV credits include an appearance on ABC’s The Gong Show in 2017 and ending up on the cutting room floor of America’s Got Talent in 2018 (but wants it on record that Simon was the only judge to give Snax the thumbs up). Snax also briefly hosted a podcast called “The Snax Of Life,” where guests would be interviewed in a kitchen and invited to cook a snack with Snax.
Emma Schmuckler - Emma Schmuckler (she/her) is a Seattle-based comedian, storyteller, and proud owner of an “unspecified mood disorder.” Hailing from a long line of prodigiously gifted storytellers (read: liars), Emma was the first one bold (read: unhinged) enough to demand a microphone. Emma regularly opens for nationally touring headliners and in 2024 she was featured in the Upper Left and Savage Henry Comedy Festivals. She’s also the mastermind behind One Man Show—a buzzworthy Seattle showcase featuring the Pacific Northwest’s funniest female and non-binary comedians… and also one man.
