Chautauqua Presented a Show
as part of this year's

Moisture Festival

- a comedy/variete celebration, in cabaret-like form @

Hale's Ales
4301 Leary Way NW, Seattle, WA

- amongst the kegs and kliegs in a work space magically converted into a performing palace (especially, specifically, and most particularly, for the Festival) known as Hale's Palladium.

Our show included folks ranging from our wonderful regulars of modern times to Old Friends who have rarely performed with us in recent years. 'Twas a show not to be missed! We hope you didn't miss it!!!

The lineup included no less than:

Avner, the Eccentric - simply one of the funniest guys on the planet
Magical Mystical Michael - Very Funny, Very Magical, Kind of Mystical, Plenty Michael & source of the finest Bronx accent this side of the Mississippi
Christian Swenson - creator and performer of "Human Jazz"
Dusty Rodz & her Handsome Cowboy - Wry, Western Wit With Wonderful (womething weginning with "W")
Kevin Murphy - Proving the Word is mightier than the Spen
Noodlelini & Junior Noodlelini - Old Country Jugglers (yet they know their way around the New City)
Godfrey Daniels - Tall, Stark and Winsome
Fyodor Karamazov - Manipulator d'Objects avec un Twinkle
Tom Noddy & his Bubble Magic - the Original Bubble Guy of our generation - whichever generation that is.....
Nanda - Dazzling Juggling a la Port Townsend
RB & Ray - They not only fought, but they one, too
Henrik Bothe - Juggler, Amuser of Humans and Natural Blond

Our funny-guy co-EmCees were:

Joey Pipia - displaying sleight of hand; and
Smerdyakov Karamazov - who is slight of mind

And leave us not forget our splendiferous musical accompanists, i.e.:

The Fighting Instruments of Karma Marching Chamber Band/Orchestra - Providers of Tunes which are Hot and Cracks which are Wise.

Tickets were available at Hale's and at
Fremont Place Books
621 N 35th street

And cost a mere
$10 for Adults and $5 for kids

Tickets were also available via the
Moisture Festival web site at www.moisturefestival.com

We realize that it is a little after-the-fact to tell you now where you could have bought tickets, but we appreciate their support in providing the tickets, so we maintain their links here as an expression of that appreciation - plus NOT removing them means there's one less thing which our webmaster has to tend to...
