bio

comedy:

Utah born, Seattle based comedian Emmett Montgomery found the comedy stage in late 2004 and has been failing beautifully ever since. Emmett has been involved in a lot of things including critically acclaimed comedy collectives, post apocalyptic variety shows, underground wrestling leagues and family friendly comedy nights in pizza restaurants. Mr. Montgomery has been featured the film “Seattle Komedy Documentary”, the coffee table book “Seattle 100: a portrait of a city” and the Bumbershoot, Bridgetown Comedy and Sasquatch festivals. In addition to wandering the country telling jokes he currently curates and hosts a love letter to Seattle in the form of variety show/sharing party entitled “Weird and Awesome with Emmett Montgomery” at the prestigious Annex Theatre once a month and hosts a very rowdy weekly open mic at one of Seattle’s most storied gay karaoke bars, the Crescent. Emmett tells jokes from his heart. His heart is usually full of hope but sometimes it is full of spiders

art:

Mr. Montgomery has always been the weird kid who draws. At one point he found himself in a strange and lonely town. He started making puppets using the paper bags from the excessive gift packages his mother would send him. He doesn’t live in that town anymore, but he still makes puppets and helps find them homes.
