Are there any good standup comedians coming to Seattle in the next few months?

I missed the comedy tent at Sasquatch this year, and was hoping to catch a few of them next time they come around (Zack Galifianakis, Tim and Eric...) but is anyone jivin' on some hot comics I don't know about?

I've never been to Giggles, are there any other good digs for comedy around this town?

    According to Pollstar.com, these are the "comedy" acts currently scheduled for Seattle:

    7/01 - Paul Merrill at Chop Suey

    7/07 - Derek Sheen at Showbox (and again at Chop Suey 8/05)

    9/26 - Lewis Black at the Moore

    10/17 - Bo Burnham at the Moore

    10/23 - Mike Birbiglia at the Moore

    11/14 - Lisa Lampanelli at the Paramount

    (Warning: I can't vouch that all of them are funny.)

    If you are willing to make the drive, Laughs in Kirkland gets decent acts. I saw Doug Stanhope there recently and almost pissed myself. The drinks are cheap and the seating is ample.

    It looks like Bobcat Goldthwait is coming up.

    Although it looks like Heather hasn't updated it since May 26th, CLOG! ( http://www.seattlecomedyblog.com/ ) usually does a very good job of keeping everyone up-to-date as to Seattle stand-up comedy shows.

    There are four dedicated comedy clubs in the Seattle metro area:

    Comedy Underground (in Pioneer Square): www.comedyunderground.com

    Giggles Comedy Club (in U District):
    www.gigglescomedyclub.com

    Laughs Comedy Spot (in Kirkland):
    www.laughscomedy.com

    Parlor Live (in Bellevue, weekends only):
    http://www.parlorlive.com/parlorlive-eventcalendar.htm

    You'll also find stand-up comedy at various days/times at:
    88 Keys (Pioneer Square)
    Owl & Thistle (Near Waterfront)
    Chop Suey (Capitol Hill)
    Capitol Club (Capitol Hill)
    Live Girls Theater (Ballard)
    Pagliacci Pizza (Capitol Hill)
    Pegasus Pizza (Kirkland)
    Spitfire (Belltown)
    The Moore Theater (Downtown)
    Triple Door (Downtown)
    Mars Bar (North Regrade)

    And, if you're willing to drive:
    Comedy Underground (Tacoma)
    Jazzbones (Tacoma)
    Marson's Comedy Club (Everett)
    Rocko's (Everett)
    Mick Finsters (Edmonds)

    Granted--many of these shows feature local talent rather than nationally known performers, and not every comedy show is right for every comedy taste...

    But there's lots of good stand-up comedy in Seattle happening every week!

    Ubiquitous They. They're sketch comedy, not standup. They're pretty good, but I'm biased.

    The "20 Funny Festival" with Kathleen Madigan, Tommy Johnagin, Jasper Redd, and "surprise guest" at the Paramount this Saturday June 13 will be good I think.
