SAMĀ CELLARS will host an evening of stand-up comedy on Friday, Feb. 20, when Seattle comic JR Berard brings his set to the tasting room with special guest Mary Lou Gamba.
The doors will open at 6:30 p.m., and the show will kick off at 7 p.m. sharp.
The event is presented by Dani Marie LLC, which has organized over 65 events to date, and tickets are being sold through Eventbrite. You can get early-bird tickets through Feb. 19.
Berard works the Pacific Northwest comedy circuit and is known for sharp, observational routines that turn everyday frustrations into funny stories.
He headlines the night at SAMĀ CELLARS, a small tasting room on 166th Avenue that offers an intimate setting suited to stand-up.
Mary Lou Gamba, who moved west from the East Coast and has become a regular on the Seattle scene, will open the show.
According to organizers, her act draws on quick, high-energy bits about aging, family, and the minor chaos of modern life.
As this is a self-produced show, all the ticket revenue supports the performers directly.
Organizers are asking guests to arrive a bit early because seating is first-come, first-served, and the tasting room has limited capacity.
SAMĀ CELLARS offers free parking and wine for purchase by the glass or bottle, and the venue encourages people to arrive when doors open to get a good seat.
For those who want to make an evening of it, SAMĀ CELLARS is offering handcrafted charcuterie boxes for $18 plus tax.
The boxes come in classic and vegetarian options and must be preordered at least two days before the event.
The winery’s small-batch wines pair naturally with the food and the show, and staff will sell wine during the performance.
The event is 21-and-over because of adult material. Organizers note that ticket sales are final unless the event is canceled, and refunds are available up to seven days before the show.
Early-bird tickets end the day before the performance, so fans who want lower pricing should buy before Feb. 19 at 6 p.m.
If tickets remain and you opt not to buy one, you can even get them at the entrance. However, the organizers have advised getting them early as the Prices will increase.
Also, if any important function arrives that day, you will have a chance to refund the tickets up to seven days before the event.
SAMĀ CELLARS has staged several neighborhood events that mix local talent with local hospitality, and this comedy night follows that model: small venue, close audience, and live acts that benefit directly from ticket sales.
For people who want a casual Friday night with wine and laughs, the show offers a tidy, relaxed option within easy reach of Redmond neighborhoods.
Tickets and event details are available on Eventbrite. The reporting was done through information provided by Dani Marie LLC’s event listing and Eventbrite.
