Tonight I begin competing in the 32nd annual Seattle International Comedy Competition. This is my 3rd time participating and each time I have gained new emotional bruises and some lifelong friends. I will attempt to keep you updated but whatever happens, remember that I love you.
The November issue of Seattle Met Magazine has a list of seven reasons why Seattle is funny. I was the seventh reason.
Art Zone with Nancy Guppy on the Seattle Channel is a show that highlights pretty much everything that is great about Seattle’s art and performance scene. They start talking about me at the two minute mark but I recommend watching the whole program especially the slow motion lesbian vampires amazing film festival ad directly following my segment.
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. 
Starting this coming Tuesday, I will be hosting a stand-up open mic at the Crescent Lounge. If you aren’t familiar with the crescent you aren’t familiar with best and grimiest parts of Seattle. One of the most storied and gayest of Seattle karaoke bars, the Crescent Lounge could either be a great environment for an open mic, or the perfect recipe for a cluster fuck of epic proportions. I am looking forward to the stories that will happen…
“Tragedy and Triumph!” the Crescent Lounge stand-up comedy open mic.

Sign up at 6:30pm, show 7-8:30pm
Free 21+ Karaoke at 9pm

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
Please Join me for my latest adventure:
For the first three Sundays of December, I will be producing/hosting a showcase of wonderful and awkward sharing with the help of child genius, Barbara Holm, at the Annex Theatre. You can view the press release and buy tickets here.
Some of my jokes are like children to me. There are mothers out there that think their children are extremely gifted even though others don’t see it. I am that type of mother and these are my children.
