AUBURN, Wash. – Jan 24, 2011 - Auggie Smith, 2010 winner of the Seattle International Comedy Competition, headlines the Comedy at the Ave Series on Feb. 18 at 7:30 pm. Joined by two other comedians for one night only, this is a show you won’t want to miss.

Last November, Auggie performed at the Ave as part of the Seattle International Comedy Competition which he then went on to win. He then won the San Francisco Comedy Competition, becoming the only comedian so far to do both in one year.

When Auggie takes the stage, audiences quickly realize that they’re in for an evening of riveting, take-no-prisoners stand-up comedy. During Auggie’s set, pop culture and political targets are dissected piece by piece into intelligently written manic rants. His seamless rapid fire style has developed a loyal following across the country. He has spent most of the last two decades keeping a constant road schedule honing his craft and creating a truly memorable, relevant, and constantly evolving live experience. Additional information about Auggie Smith can be found on his website: http://auggiesmith.com/
