Description

The Ballard Comedy Club is open and Nancy Norton is our amazing first headliner. The Reigning champion of SICC The Ballard Comedy club is open and we are here to prioritize booking, developing and furthering extremely talented Women, POC, and LGBTQA comedians. We believe representation in media and the arts are important and are doing our part to make the comedy landscape less of a cis gendered straight white guys world. Proof of vaccination is required for entry. We will also be doing temperature checks before you head up into the space. Anyone who doesn't have proof will be turned away and no refund will be given (as you will have taken space from someone who can watch the performance). Please get vaccinated then come back and have fun with us! Please before you order tickets know that this venue is upstairs and the building is the longest owned independent brewery in Washington and was built without the ability to put in elevators so it is not wheelchair accessible. Anyone who shows up that is unable to go upstairs will be given a full refund but this is a regretful warning. Our first comedian to headline is the wonderful Nancy Norton!
