Open mics are the life blood of any comic, it is where we decide what is funny and what is not, and you, the audience, get to help. Come laugh and be merry. We also have three very special features: Jen Seaman, Parker Postyeni and Keith Carey! Hosted by one of the most dedicated comedians at the Comedy Womb, Meredith Flanders.
Show starts at 7:30pm. There will be a pass the hat at the end of the show to pay our featured comics. Support local artists!

Seattle’s Downtown Mountain Boys are the Pacific Northwest’s most exciting and accomplished bluegrass band. Seen for years in such popular Northwest bands as Ranch Romance, Rural Delivery, Rainy Pass, and Who’s Driving?, veteran bluegrassers and recording artists Terry Enyeart (bass, lead and harmony vocals), Dave Keenan (banjo, fiddle, lead and harmony vocals), Don Share (guitar, lead and harmony vocals), Tom Moran (Mandolin), and Paul Elliott (fiddle), have come together to form a match made in musical heaven. Take three-part harmonies that send shivers up your spine, add dazzling instrumental firepower, and you have the sound of The Downtown Mountain Boys: an exciting combination of tight harmonies and red-hot picking; an entertaining, engaging, and witty stage show; and a repertoire that spans beloved standards and high-quality original material. Victory Review calls The Downtown Mountain Boys “The cream of Seattle- area pickers, top teachers, session musicians, and musicologists.”
