FRIDAY
COMEDY
Pun Slam
If your friends consider you the Slim Shady of bad puns, consider Fun Intended’s Pun Slam your “mom’s spaghetti” moment. It’s a slam-style punmaking contest where wordplay warriors step up to the mic to battle it out across three rounds that are judged by a panel of five brave souls prepared to endure the cringe. Ten contestants volunteer, the audience laughs (or winces), and host Forest Ember attempts to keep the whole ridiculous evening rolling. Don’t think you’re corny enough to pop off here? Seats still need butts, so come out to cheer, drink, and appreciate the fine art of linguistic nonsense. LANGSTON THOMAS
(Skylark Cafe & Club, West Seattle, $15-$20)
