Derek Sheen has thought about this moment for a long time.

"I first visited the Comedy Underground when I was 13 years old,” the local comedian says. “It's the club where I performed my first open mic. Ever since the day I stepped into that windowless basement, I have dreamt of headlining that stage."

30 years later that dream is about to come true.

The last time I remember seeing comedian Tyler Boeh was in 2008. He was sharing driving duties with me of a huge Cadillac heading down Highway 101 to San Luis Obispo while Brent Weinbach slept the whole way in the back seat.

I’d been hearing about Starz TV and its “Boss” and “Spactacus” shows so I decided to sign up after seeing a cool ad for a new series set in 1958 Miami, “Magic City”.

In perhaps the most dramatic finish of a round in the history of the Seattle International Comedy Competition, Pacific Northwest comic Rodney Sherwood ended a six-year hiatus from the stage in grand style by placing first at the last show in the semi-finals of the 32nd Annual Seattle International Comedy Competition to nab a spot in the finals occurring this week.

Sam Demaris of Houston earned bragging rights by having the highest score at the conclusion of the first preliminary round of the 32nd Annual Seattle Stand-Up Comedy Competition when the results were announced at the Comedy Underground Monday night.

Uproar CD has chosen the Comedy Underground as it's "go to" club for recording what is becoming an array of top Hollywood comedians.

The short notice announcement that the Sounders will be hosting a play-off game Wednesday night, 11/2, at CenturyLink has put the 32nd Annual Seattle Stand-Up Comedy Competition in a bit of a tizzy, the reason being that event will have to move from its intended opening night at the Comedy Underground in Pioneer Square, and the Annex Theatre will be the beneficiary.

Will Ferrell, who refined his impersonation of President George W. Bush on "Saturday Night Live" and later took his presidential act to Broadway, was awarded the nation's top humor prize Sunday night.
