Kyle Regan—a masochistic Stranger reader—has vowed to do every single thing recommended by the Stranger Suggests (movies, galleries, bars, concerts) for the month of January. Look for his reports daily on Slog. Also, due to moronism, we neglected to post what he submitted yesterday. So today you get twice the Kyle to make up for it. —Eds.

The Week of Fun ended with Laff Hole, The biweekly comedian-run event at Chop Suey. Nobody in our group had ever been to Chop Suey, let alone Laff Hole. (We're losers, we know.) I liked the place, especially after my friend Wence bought us double-shots of Patron. I think it's safe to say I'll be back at Chop Suey pretty soon, especially with Four Tet and Electric Six playing in the coming months. Fat Tire on tap is also fucking sweet.

Apparently there were a few jostles to the schedule. The schmucks who had been booked as headliners dropped out for another gig in LA. Boo, hiss, right? Even the opening band dropped out, leaving a considerable schedule hole. Well, Seattle comedians ain't bullshittin'. Within the day, a slew of replacement performers and the band Golden Robot Army stepped up.

GRA, local Americana-sounding band, were really good. If bands were judged on beards, Golden Robot Army would be top tier, lead by Zach Galifianakis's long-lost twin. I think my over-exposure to stand-up over the past week affected my favorite performances: Solomon Georgio and Amanda Lee Williams. Georgio's “Rodney Gayngerfield” (at least I think that's what they said, if not you can use it Sol) was fantastic. I missed Williams's show name, but a drunk boisterous women ragging on audience members is always nice. Jesse Weyrick beat Joe Henry in the Laff Hole phrase-off, which I judged (why does my brain turn off whenever I’m handed a mic?). Weyrick’s Haiti joke was brilliant. Too soon my ass.

This was a great event and Seattle should be proud to have such a dedicated group of people willing to do so much for so little in return. Major props go to the people I saw day in and out: Dartanion London, Emmett Montgomery, Jessica Strauss, Solomon Georgio, Kevin Hyder and others. There were more, and they know who they are (because I don’t).

Within one week, my comedy exposure went from nil to somewhat respectable. This was a week of sky highs and crushing lows. I enjoyed the Week of Fun, but I’m glad to take a break from the laughs.
