Stand-up comedy show featuring comedian Gwen Rose at Laughs Comedy Club, an 18+ venue.
Gwen Rose is headlining Laughs Comedy Club on Thursday, October 15. The show runs from 8 PM to 10 PM, with doors opening at 7 PM, so you've got an hour to get settled before she takes the stage.
Rose is coming in with some serious momentum. Time Out named her a comedian to watch in association with Hulu, and she's already headlined the Columbus Comedy Festival. If you haven't seen her live, her special Emotional Cutting is on Amazon Prime, which is a good way to get a sense of her style before catching her in person. She's a regular at the major clubs in her hometown of Chicago, where she's headlined both the Laugh Factory and Zanies.
There's a specific kind of energy to her act that's hard to pin down on paper. Writer Julio Torres put it this way: "You get away with a lot, but they love you." It's the kind of description that suggests a performer who pushes the envelope and takes risks with the room, but keeps the audience on her side through the whole thing. That's usually the mark of a comic who knows exactly how far she can go.

The night is presented by Laughs Comedy Club, located at 5220 Roosevelt Way Northeast in Seattle. It's a venue that books national headliners and runs Wednesday through Saturday, usually with one or two shows per night. A couple of things to keep in mind before you head over: the room is 18+, and there's a two-item minimum purchase per person. With the show running from 8 PM to 10 PM and doors at 7 PM, you've got plenty of time to grab your drinks and a seat before Rose starts.
