Since its founding in 2005, Laff Hole has played host to some of the finest up-and-coming comedians in the northwest.  During its five year run, local favorites like Reggie Watts, Hari Kondabolu and Rory Scovel have gone on to perform on “Live at Gotham,” “Jimmy Kimmel Live” and “Late Night with Jimmy Fallon.” National headliners like Pete Holmes, Matt Braunger and Robin Williams have dropped by to do guest sets.

The fifth anniversary show, June 2nd at Chop Suey, will be a celebration of all the comics who have shared the Laff Hole stage. The show will be hosted by two of the show’s founders, Kevin Hyder and Emmett Montgomery.   The musical guest will be The Pale Pacific and Seattle’s own Jon Keister of “Almost Live!” will be the headliner.
