Emmett Montgomery

The November issue of Seattle Met Magazine has a list of seven reasons why Seattle is funny. I was the seventh reason.

After a five year relationship that was great on and off the stage one of my closest companions has left us. Unfortunately the forces of gravity and the certainty of concrete floors will eventually get us all it seems. So long my friend I will never forget that day I rescued you from that creepy antique store and you became the greatest impulse buy ever. I will miss you and think of our great times together. 

Today is the day after five shows of floating sundays, “Weird and Awesome with Emmett Montgomery” settles into its permanent timeslot of 1st Sundays of the month at Annex Theatre.
I wanted to write a love letter to Seattle and all the opportunities I have had in the past six years, to do something that showcases the amazing things that I have seen and been able to be a part of. “Weird and Awesome with Emmett Montgomery” will hopefully grow to be that. With the aid of one of my favorite young comics, Barbara Holm, and immense assistance from my wife Kate, and the support of Annex Theatre, the show is a combination of strange variety show/awkward sharing party. Each show has at least 5 acts: someone shares, someone sings, something weird, something awesome and someone very talented does stand-up. Prizes are given friends are made and everyone gets a little drunk. I am excited about the potential for this show and hope you can come share it with me.

In a few weeks people will be able to climb up the spiral staircase of Cake Spy Shop and come face to face with some of my newest puppets. My new friends include the creatures that frighten and/or fascinate me. There will be clowns, birds, teddy bears and children. You should stop by and make friends with them.

Opening Reception and Friendship Party:

Jan 13th 5-8

415 E Pine Street
