Celebrating our first amendment right to free speech with a comedy celebration for our times Oct. 24 at Old Stove-Gardens in Ballard. The Politics Are a Joke Comedy Show at 7 pm on Saturday, Oct. 24, at Old Stove Brewing Co. - Gardens in Ballard. We've taken this more seriously than our elected leaders have taken governing, and we think we'll do very well in exit polling. There's so much to talk about as we prepare for the big day the first Tuesday in November! We'll have a dozen of Seattle's local famous stand-ups, plus an installment of everybody's favorite source of legitimate news, The Gayly Show. Come laugh with us! Or cry alone, it's up to you!
