Shaggy Sweet

 

Beneband

 

Songwriters with a genuine, obvious enthusiasm for their craft can't help but attract an audience. For this simple reason up and coming soulful singer/songwriter, Ben Ekstedt, is on his way to earning a multitude of devoted fans. His inspired songwriting and passionate stage presence establish him as a formidable force in the music industry.
 
Ben has been involved in various projects prior to seeking a solo career. Over the past few years, he has focused his attention on breaking into the scene and has gained interests from Independent labels, established songwriters, and producers.  Backed by an amazing group of musicians, Aaron Hiebert on electric guitar, Jason Edwards on drums, and Josiah Bogle on bass, the band, named Shaggy Sweet, is sure to exceed all expectations.

Our March Comedy Night is scheduled for Wednesday, March 21 with headliner Susan Rice and featuring Xung Lam and host Todd Armstrong!

 

Susan RiceFor over 28 years Susan Rice has been a 'chatterbox" for a living.


In 1983, Susan began her comedy journey on a small stage at the Leaky Roof Tavern. Her words, her story.  In 1986, Hollywood called and she packed her VW Super Beetle and off she went. While living in LA, she landed several comedy shows, all of which were national network shows.

 

In 1989, The King of Laugh-In George Schlatter sold ABC a stand up dominated comedy show called "George Schlatter's Comedy Club!"  It was Susan's first television credit and it would lead to others; Comedy Express on Fox, Comedy Club Reunion and the premiere week of "The Pat Sajak Show" on CBS, Rice then moved onto cable and did Evening at the Improv, Showtime Comedy on the Road and the Showtime Allstars show plus Comedy Centrals Stand Up Stand Up

Xung LamIt has been quite a ride for this "chatterbox" from Longview WA. Her career as an actress and a standup comic has spanned over 32 years. Her greatest feeling is the moment her audience recognizes her as someone familiar. "Its almost like a private joke between them and myself, it's wonderful." 
 

Our feature act, Xung Lam, is a veteran comedian whose set has been described as spotless and packed with jokes that run the gamut without leaving the audience behind.  We're also joined by host Todd Armstrong.

 

It's going to be a great night of comedy with Susan, Xung, and Todd. 

 

Call 425-391-1424 to reserve your tickets!
