Current Lineup!
Double Headliner:
Harry J. Riley Funny Person- Air Force Veteran
Spokane’s top headlining comedian, Harry J. Riley, takes the stage in Olympia. This is an epic event. A two-time winner of Spokane Valleyfest who is known as the Inland Northwest’s best kept secret, Riley is a rising star waiting to burst on the national scene, and a semi-finalist in the Seattle International Comedy Competition, Riley is a regular on Z Nation, a SYFY television show. Hailing from South Carolina and a veteran of the U.S. Air Force, Riley talks about various cultural events, including his childhood of growing up on a Southern plantation.
Folger Emerson- Army Veteran
Folger Emerson thinks he’s pretty funny. His interesting perspective is derived from being one of six children raised by Jewish/Hispanic parents. He grew up poor…like…really poor. After serving eleven years in the Army, Folger decided he needed to take on newer challenges and responsibilities and he now works at a call center. A crazy person recently told him “…you suck so bad at comedy that I can’t ever book you. You’re complete and total lack of talent would be an insult to paying customers.” and then she blocked him again before he could thank her for the input or correct her grammar. Laugh at his jokes so he can prove that crazy lady wrong and also maybe quit working at a call center.
Feature:
Tony Daniel- Navy Veteran
Tony Daniel started doing comedy on the back of his middle school bus in Rocky Mount, NC. He paid his dues getting kicked off the bus and spending many hours in detention until he became quite good at playing the DOZENS. He Tony Daniel started doing comedy on the back of his middle school bus in Rocky Mount, NC. He paid his dues getting kicked off the bus and spending many hours in detention until he became quite good at playing the DOZENS. He also learned comedic timing reciting jokes from the legends like Pryor, Dangerfield, Murphy and Robin Harris. He would use these jokes to overcome shyness and make new friends. This served him well once he joined the US NAVY and traveled the world. He started doing stand-up at Seattle Comedy Underground and he has been a crowd favorite from Hawaii to Florida. As US NAVY veteran he takes pride in performing for our NATION’S ARMED FORCES. ls
Marianne Reilly – Military Spouse
A native of Washington State, Marianne is a comic with a unique take on day-to-day life. Raised in the backwoods of Washington, she moved to Seattle when she was 17, causing a drastic, but good change of perspective that gives her a wide range of appeal to audiences of any sex, race or background.
Because of the strange and sometimes difficult circumstances she has encountered in her life, this single mother of two has honed her defense mechanisms by finding the humor in any given situation. While Marianne’s original life-goal of becoming a sex therapist did not pan out, she continues to entertain audiences in a variety of different venues across the country. She pushes the envelope with her smart, relatable brand of comedy and proves that strong women can carry a full set of baggage without breaking a sweat.
