Ballard Comedy Show Every Friday

BallardGuy June 20th, 2008

Tonight the Local Ballard Comedy Show (or Lo-Ball) returns to Market Street for a run of late-night shows at the Live Girls! Theater, 2220 NW Market St.

Produced by the People’s Republic of Komedy, Lo-Ball had a been a staple of the local comedy scene, bringing in big crowds to Mr. Spot’s Chai House in Ballard to see local comedians and national acts for more than two years. A much-publicized falling out with the new owners of the coffee house, however, forced them to move their show to nearby Bergen Place Park.

Now it appears they’ve found a new home, which is great news to long-time producer Paul Merrill.

“The park was a fun experiment and a real testament to our fan-base that they would stand out in the cold for two hours to watch comedy,” says Merrill. “But frankly, I’m looking forward to having a roof over our heads.”
The shows will be every Friday at 11pm and will feature some of the top comedians in Seattle doing new material in an unusual setting.
