Nick Thune, a Redmond native, could be mistaken for any scruffy punk haunting Seattle’s street corners with
a guitar and jokes to sell, save for one important difference: His jokes are actually funny. “C-sections are the DiGiorno of pregnancy,” Thune says while conversationally strumming his guitar. “Because it’s not delivery.” His pattern of
intelligent, offhand one-liners has landed him gigs on
The Tonight Show and
Conan, but tonight he graces the Intiman stage for an evening of clever wordplay. “In the beginning, Google created earth,” Thune tells his audience. “And that’s what I’m going to teach my children.” (
