West Seattle is set to host a unique live comedy experience, "Washington's Funniest Mammal Comedy Competition," on Friday, February 7 and Saturday Feb. 8, 8pm at the Great American Diner and Bar 4752 California Ave SW.

This isn't just another comedy show; it's a high-stakes competition where audience members become the judges, wielding the power to make or break a comedian's dream.

The event is the first round of a statewide competition, where comedians will be vying for a $2,000 top prize. Ten comedians will take the stage each night, pouring their hearts out in the hopes of gaining the approval of the audience. The comedians may be more desperate for the audience's approval than for the prize itself, because the promoters say they  "never earned their parents’ approval either."

The audience plays a crucial role using an interactive voting system. To participate in voting, attendees must have a valid Google account, such as a Gmail account. The audience is "the final boss" and "the hero,"  for the event.

For attendees, the event promises a night of entertainment with "booze, food, and jokes". The source suggests the event is a great way to spend an evening, noting that attendees can "judge, laugh, observe humans with pointless dreams"  Doors open at 7 pm, and tickets are limited, so arrive early to secure a spot and enjoy a drink.
