Veteran Seattle-area stand-up comic Jan Barrett
, making a comeback from a hiatus of several years, will serve as
host for a “Best of Seattle Comedy Competition” show March 21 at
the Admiral Theatre .
Barrett joins headliner Ty Barnett and
Duane Goad for the 8 p.m. show.
“She (Barrett) has been out of action for a few years,” said Ron
Reid of Seattle’s Comedy Underground , which
periodically sends a raft of comics across Puget Sound for a
laugh-filled Admiral outing. “She’s had another business. But she’s
getting back in the game.”
And Reid’s putting her to work. He said Barrett will do opening
sets for both the other comics for the Bremerton show.
“She’ll do a set, and then Duane will come on and do about 40
minutes,” Reid said. “After the intermission, she’ll do some more
and introduce Ty, and he’ll do, oh, an hourish-long set.
“What we’ve got (with Barrett and Goad) is almost a twin-headliner
situation,” Reid said.
