Mike Baldwin has been crowned the winner of the 2011 Seattle International Comedy Competition. I saw him perform during semi-finals and he was really, really funny and now he is a champion. Yay, Mike Baldwin!

Coming in second: Rodney Sherwood, who I also saw perform in semi-finals and did not find funny at all. Yay, subjectivity!

Ooh, kicking Sherwood when he's down - he must have been aggressively not funny for you.

So... does this mean I need his approval for jokes, or is he just a figurehead?

Coming in second is not "down"! (But yes, I found him aggressively unfunny.)

David, I only ever won one medal in my life, when I was ten. The medal says "second" on it. At the time I wanted to murder the boy who came in first, and in my heart of hearts I wish I had at least lashed out at him, maybe with my patented flurry of slaps to the torso.

Save your "coming in second is not down" patter for if Oprah invites you to a spa day sometime.

Mike Baldwin will be coming back Seattle to headline the Comedy Underground on December 9th through the 11th...

(And, yay subjectivity, indeed!)
