Like Ed Sullivan presiding over the Gong Show, or Donny & Marie produced by Andy Warhol at the height of the Factory, WEIRD AND AWESOME WITH EMMETT MONTGOMERY promises entertainment at its most human and inexplicable. Each show features members of Seattle’s rich performance and arts scene, with an emphasis on the eclectic and the unique: this show highlights stand up comedy, songs, stories, videos and more. Plus Special Guests! Prizes!

Hosted by mustache wizard Emmett Montgomery (stand-up comedian galore), assisted by child prodigy Barbara Holm.

Come hear stories of sexual misadventure, accidental arson, bad dates, sheep-tossing (which is not a euphemism), scars gained, condoms lost, unfortunately named drinks, and much, much more. NOT PANTS is a compendium of true tales from the lips of great local performers, including David Schmader, Jennifer Jasper, José Amador, Emmett Montgomery, Keira McDonald, Gillian Jorgensen, Michele Colyn, and many many more! Curated by Bret Fetzer and Troy Mink.

Due to a potential intellectual property dispute, Annex Theatre has canceled its impending production of Hot Pants, a fusion of storytelling and game show. But rather than let all the juicy stories we’d been promised go to waste, we’ve invited all the performers to take the Annex stage and reveal the comic, preposterous, and sometimes embarrassing true things that have happened to them.

And as an added bonus, Not Pants will still feature the HOT PANTS DANCERS!
