Fuck this (awesome) asshole!

Winlar was born, raised and lived his whole life around the Seattle area, except for 4 years, since the Army wouldn't let him serve from home.
He started in sketch comedy out of college, founding the award winning group Kazoo! and writing for local television back when there was still such a thing.
He's gravitated toward his own version of stand-up, performing "Dirty songs for drunk people" with his Kamaka tenor ukulele. He's featured and headlined at various places around the state, and will pretty much show up any time anyone asks him nicely.
Oh, and he's married with two teenage kids at home. So pray for him.

Bio (I figured you would want a more comedy centric one, this gave me an opportunity to update the bio on my website.)

- " Actor, Comedian and Novelty Mug Collector; Patricio Fabian Mendoza, has been studying performing arts since 2007, learning to operate from a place of honesty. Writing humor around what he knows. This self-deprecating style of humor takes what life throws at him, finds the funny and pitches it back as laughter. From Vancouver to Seattle, this starting stand-up has hit a litany of shows, from showcases, to participating in competitions such as "Funniest MF," "Comedy and a Cause," "Cash for Comedy," as well as being a Finalist in the 22nd Annual “FunnyFest” Competition in Calgary, and opened for headlining comedian Eric Johnston for an exclusive show at Vancouver Film School."

Stories (Most of my jokes are based on true stories)

- For a 1960s themed Spirit day in High School. I dressed up as the original all-white Cowboy version of Ghost Rider, and everyone thought I was dressed as a Klansmen. It didn't help that when I took the cowboy hat off my cowl/face hood stuck straight up.

- I full-on shart my pants after a 3 hour drive back home where I was running on nothing but gas station coffee.

- I recently performed a whole 5 minute set while out of breath at the Funniest MF competition, because I thought it would be a good idea to do laps on stage.

- When I was living in Florida I shared a bed with my male chinese roommate on a road trip to Key West, because I was too shy to ask the front desk for an extra bed.

Goals
- I want to be able to perform a solid 30 minutes on stage by the end of August.
- I want to make someone laugh so hard they fall over.
- I want to finally pay off my credit card that's been maxed out since producing my first short film last year.
- I want to produce more short films, and eventually write and produce a feature length film.
- I want to finish writing the story bible for a sitcom idea I've had boiling in my head for awhile
- I want to be able to live off my entertainment work be it acting, stand-up, or producing
- I would love to eventually run a business where I work with international comic book creators and writers to translate and publish their work and characters for english speaking audiences

My name is spelt with 2 n's. Most of the time I go by "Jo."
I have been doing comedy for 3ish months.
I am in grad school for my Masters in Social Work and have my bachelors in Psychology.
I love doing comedy, rock climbing, playing music with my band, soccer, my cat and my family :)
Goals for Comedy
My main goals for comedy are to have FUN, get better each time and make friends :)
I try to choose different goals each time I do a set. These range from focusing on my body movement, timing, specific bits, eye contact, not using my notes, speaking into the mic, etc
Embarrassing story / Time I think I bombed
I did a set that had done well once before, but it didn't go as well a 2nd time. The set was about farting and no one laughed at one joke the entire time. Bombing is one thing, but bombing after talking about how I farted in front of a significant other is another thing.

BIO - Native to Seattle, I've spent my life trying to make people laugh. Recently, I have been trying to participate in as many open mics as possible, with a dream of headlining a major show and being a writer and producer of an adult cartoon. I am a graduate of the Tacoma Comedy Academy and Nate Jackson's Super Funny Comedy Class and am currently headed to the semi finals of the Super Funny Comedy competition. I have been at this long enough to know there is a lot I don't know.

Embarrassing moment: In middle school I ran out of deodorant and after gym someone asked me if I smelled beef stew. I never did tell him it was me. I was the beef stew.

A mother, a foster mother, a hilarious and awesome comedy colleague!

Bio - 43 year old Comic and father. Originally from Alabama. Started comedy in San Diego 7 years ago. Moving to Silverdale WA.
I've done the most stages in San Diego Comedy History (273 stages in the county).

Hard Bombs - Weed show in 2017. Attacked on stage in 2018 in Imperial Beach. Told a bunch of Mexican dudes they had dangerous penises in a birder town. Got chased out.

A lively discussion of Irish heritage, Matzah Balls, and Jewish StepDada

Born in Guam to Filipino parents, Angelo Lazarte is up and coming comic performing in open mics across Western Washington. Angelo is a graduate of the Nate Jackson's Super Funny Comedy Class and has been in bar shows from time to time. Total geek, horrible at dating, and non existent sex life is mostly his life right now. When he's not doing comedy, he's watching anime, reading manga, playing video games, and spending his life as an uber eats driver.

Embarrassing story:
In 6th grade, I was trying to focus on classes, that I forgot to pay attention to my body and pissed myself in class most of the time. I blame the hall pass system.


My goals in comedy is simple: In 5 years I will be headlining local shows and run my own shows around Washington State.

And then once I'm great enough, I might find myself going in New York, Vegas, or even in LA.

A lifelong fan of comedy, Dan Berlyn began hitting the stage in late 2021 and is now an up-and-coming Seattle comic. He brings the street smarts and wit he developed growing up in the Chicago area to his stand-up and delights audiences with his crowdwork and improvised one-liners.

When he isn't playing chess or pull-ups at the park he's sharpening his skills at one of Seattle's improv or stand-up mics. Dan will be performing at Club Comedy Seattle on June 16th and The Station U-Brew in Puyallup on June 17th.

Jason Luna was born in Tucson, AZ on July 7th, 1986. He’s spent most of his life since in California. He graduated from UC Irvine in 2011 with B.A.’s in English/Creative Fiction and Film and Media Studies. In 2016 he graduated from the New York Film Academy (time spent in both Manhattan, NY and Burbank, CA) with an M.F.A. in Filmmaking, learning a lot about film directing and the craft of film on set and as a writer.

After a life of elementary and high school plays, and some college improv comedy at UC Irvine, Jason got his first taste of celebrity status in 2008, when he won 1 million dollars on NBC’s “1 vs. 100”. He parlayed that success into a brief appearance on the GSN “1 vs. 100” in 2009. And to make this all full circle, Jason won 1 thousand dollars in 2020 for winning the first round of GSN’s “Masterminds”. Jason has always loved trivia, and maybe a little more for being paid for it.

Game shows are nice, but now Jason Luna is an actor. He has been appearing on comedy improv stages in SD and LA for the National Comedy Theater (SD), as well as the Upright Citizens Brigade, LA Connection Theater, and other places since 2016, and performs currently every week online with the One Love Improv indie troupe. He’s performed stand up comedy at the Flappers Comedy Club in Burbank and others places as well, and is expanding on that front, like most of his fronts.

Jason is a SAG-AFTRA member employed from time to time by Central Casting, and can’t wait to work some more. He’s available, and he’s surprisingly affordable.

Award-winning filmmaker, Monique Sorgen was raised in an international hippie house in the Castro district of San Francisco. Monique’s brutally honest and quirky comedic voice is the result of her unusual upbringing by her father, a civil rights attorney with no personal boundaries, and her mother, a French woman, determined to raise Monique bilingual and bicultural. This upbringing made Monique worldly, open-minded, understanding, and compassionate to varying points of view—which are qualities that inform her creative point of view and her characters.

Is there life after Adderall? Andrew K. Smith’s hooligan pranks and social impulsiveness paints a picture of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) before medication, and it would seem that the little orange pills could cure his mischief. But readers will furrow their brows as they enter The Adderall Empire, traveling with the author through the chemically conflicting mind states. Is working-memory training a feasible alternative? Readers will beg for the answer, hoping Andrew stops getting into trouble before his parents disown him or he winds up in jail. Again. Everyone is curious about Adderall. Young people abuse it, adults are addicted to it, teachers wish their students would take it, and parents consider prescriptions for their children. The Adderall Empire gives honest evidence of how working-memory training can change the life of a person with ADHD and provides readers with information about an alternative to ADHD prescriptions. Find out what it’s like to exit the Empire! Please find and purchase The Adderall Empire. It can be found on Amazon.

Artist/author from rural Eastern Kentucky. I specialize in writing about languages, art, and creativity. I enjoy a spiritual and quiet life with family and pets. I started doing Zoom comedy in June 2021.

Funny things:

- I have gotten hilariously bad "celeb lookalike" results/crazy troll comments. Kurt Russell and John Cena to name a few.

-I was once handed a dog treat in a bank drive thru. There was no animal in the car.

-My thick Southern accent presents many challenges. Alexa/Siri do not understand me. I have trouble with long "I" words.

I was born in Germany.My brothers still try to convince me that I was adopted. My mom really wanted a girl but when I was born I ended up being a girl but she stuck with the E-R-I-N spelling. I am married to my high school sweetheart. I am a father. I LOVE football (Soccer). I am a librarian/teacher. And I am pretty much open to anything as long as its appropriate in respect to me being a teacher and not wanting to put anything out there that might be deemed in appropriate.

The first comedian to feature in the Seattle Grunge Comedy Scene at The Waterwheel Lounge Wednesdays at 9pm.

I was born just outside Albany, New York. Moving every few years due to my father’s job (in finance) promoting him and relocating us throughout my childhood. I’ve lived as far south as Raleigh, North Carolina living back and forth between Virginia and NC for the better part of a decade. I grew up with basketball as my favorite sport and got pretty good over the years. My experience with the school’s coaching staff turned me away from the sport and ultimately, one of two reasons why I became a Coach myself later on. I got into combat sports at the age of 21 with Breon Rucker as my first coach. The day I walked into the gym and started training my life made a hard change from then on. My coach cared about me and I worked hard because I knew it made him proud. My coaches in school were not the greatest so this was new to me and sparked the interest of being a good caring Coach myself so that people didn’t have to go through what I did. I ended up switching to classic Boxing as my only combat sport and fell in love. I fought professionally in my first ever sanctioned fight with no amateur experience outside the gym. I went on to fight three more times, breaking even with a 2-2 record. Life took a hold as it does with many boxers and things started pulling me away from the sport. I later got heavily into coaching making that my full time career and unfortunately let the night life and “post-fighter” lifestyle get in my way. I sank to a very low point in life, contemplating what the point was at all. That led me to my biggest fight to date, my fight with alcohol. It took a little over a year of consistent hard work and determination to finally break the mental and physical addiction and move on with my life. I am now living back in New York where I live close to family and am currently moving in with my beautiful girlfriend and her almost 5 year old son. I’ve been back coaching since the first few months of covid, starting out in my mother’s driveway, moving on to a karate gym that has been home to me since October 2020 and now hoping to land a new full time coaching gig. I’m the happiest overall I have probably ever been and excited about what’s to come.

“5 funny things about me

(1) I did my first stand up comedy set about being a born again atheist. It came to me in a vision when I woke up one day that I could perform comedy after watching 5 comedians recite the same terrible lines for 3 months in a row

(3) I never smoked pot before the pandemic. I tried to roll a joint and use a pipe in college but I couldn't figure it out. I'm a huge nerd. so i had to wait until the invented weed pens. then i went into oz and asked for a gram. they were like indica or sativa? i was like both! and thats how i got through 2020
(4) I found out about stone way cafe through a shell station poet.
(5) I was once fired from a toy store.”

I talk about weasels and then try to do a joke! Enjoy or don’t!

I decided to practice my routine and exercise the thoughts as they came to me. I thought of things that I have thought or funny earlier in the day. I thought about things that weren’t funny earlier in the day but then I thought about the more they seem funnier so I talked about things that popped into my head and made silly little comparisons usually I talk about opposites so you might notice the theme when I talk about things I think are funny they talk about how they are opposites white being so different also makes us the same. Insert laughter here
