The January edition of Hoquiam Hilarities at Hoquiam Brewing Co. is coming up and we've got yet another great line-up of comedians for you! Live Comedy IS BACK at HBC! January is almost upon us and we've got a great line-up headed your way for Hoquiam Hilarities at Hoquiam Brewing Co. on January 5th! Born and raised in Honolulu, Hawaii, Kermet Apio enjoyed a childhood in paradise. He spent his time watching television, playing, and procrastinating everything else. To this day, he still does all three extensively. After graduating from high school, Kermet moved to Seattle to attend the University of Washington. Seattle became home. In early 1989, Kermet did his first open mike night at the Comedy Underground in Seattle. Comedy was a fun hobby. In May of 1990, he quit his job, said good bye to health care and benefits, and took the leap to performing full time. It is still his only job skill. He was the winner of the 2009 Great American Comedy Festival and has had numerous appearances on television and radio. He has showcased at comedy festivals in Aspen, Las Vegas, and Vancouver and has performed in 47 states and 3 Canadian provinces. He is a past winner of the Seattle Comedy Competition and was a semi-finalist in the San Francisco Comedy Competition. Also, in 1988 he was Dishwasher of the Month at the Sea-Tac Airport Denny’s. Kermet is married and the proud father of two wonderful children. He enjoys his family, baseball, and pie. He does not enjoy opera, sitting in traffic, and writing about himself in the third person. Josh Firestine started his comedy career right after his 3rd and final deployment to Afghanistan, in 2014, in El Paso, Texas. Shortly after, the Army sent him to Tacoma, Washington, and since then, has become one of the funniest comedians in the Pacific Northwest. In January, 2021, Josh released his first comedy album titled "Needless To Say', which debuted #1 on iTunes. He is the co-host of Roastbuters Podcast and has been featured on King Seattle's "Evening." Also Jeremiah Coughlan will be stopping by for a guest set! Jeremiah Coughlan is a comedian from Portland, Oregon. A comedian who looks like what would happen if Chris Farley ate Bob Ross. He has been doing comedy for seven years and has done some cool stuff in that time including working with diverse acts from Katt Williams to the Sklar Brothers as well as opening for Lionel Richie. He has performed all over the country and was even named “Best of The Fest” at the 10,000 Laughs Comedy Festival.
