PORT TOWNSEND — Stand-up comic Susan Jones will serve up humor during Comedy Night this evening at the Key City Public Theatre, 1128 Lawrence St.
Comedy Night is presented by Steve Strout and Olympic Peninsula Comedy.
Tickets are $15 and can be purchased online at keycitypublictheatre.org, at the Playhouse box office at 419 Washington St., or by calling 360-385-5278.
Jones “is a must-see comic who has starred in reality television and independent films and can be seen performing stand-up acts in comedy clubs across the country,” Strout said.
Jones uses her attitude and experiences with body image and being a single mom “to deliver consistently funny, crowd-pleasing performances,” Strout said.
“She brings her 20 years of comedy and radio experience to the stage with some seriously funny girl talk about relationships, food, parenting and being an entertainer,” he said.
“An astute observer of life in the Northwest, she puns about passive-aggressive driving and riffs on smoking weed while unashamedly mocking her love of food. Her jokes about ‘rolling a fatty’ will have you rolling with laughter.”
Jones has performed on the popular Northwest show, “Up Late NW,” and most recently opened shows for “Saturday Night Live” veteran Rob Schneider.
Born in Puyallup, Jones has won Jack FM and Snoqualmie Casino’s Funniest Comedian in Washington contest, Club Casino’s Jokers Run Funniest Comedian contest and was a finalist in the “Funniest Woman in California” competition.
Jones will be joined by Brett Hamil, a stand-up comic, writer, cartoonist and filmmaker.
Hamil’s local politics webseries, “My YouTube Channel Where I’m the Big Important Guy Who Gets to Say What’s What,” has spun off into a semimonthly live talk show at Northwest Film Forum.
During the show, he interviews politicians, activists and artists and offers a crackpot brand of satire and political commentary.
