One of our favorite up-and-coming headliners, Mo Mandel, will be at the Comedy Underground in Seattle this weekend to feature with David Crowe to prepare for a November 6th Comedy Central taping in New York. It warms the cockles of our heart to think that of all the clubs across the country he could have picked, Mo choose ours.

His is quite the success story since moving to Hollywood in January of last year. In the short space of time since then, Mo has hosted a VH1 pilot, signed a sitcom development deal with FX, appeared on “Reality Bites” and “Chelsea Lately.” He’s also gotten quite a few parking tickets.

To others who might want to follow in his footsteps, Mo advises, “Start taking acting classes now and learn to write scripts. Being a stand-up in only interesting in Hollywood if you can do other things as well.” If this item has excited anyone enough that they would like to fly to New York for the taping, tickets can be obtained by going to http://www.ocatv.com/shows/show/26/event/6504

Mo Mandel plays the Comedy Underground October 14-17, 2009. Tickets can be purchased from the box office or through www.ticketweb.com.
