Erin Ingle: Erin Ingle may just be Seattle's sharpest stoner and tenderest feminist, with comedy that's equal parts joy and judgment. Erin has been performing stand-up since 2012 and currently features in clubs around the PNW. National touring is next on her list, following her performance at 2019s Laughing Skull Comedy Festival and on Comedy Central's "Roast Battle II.” She's a crowd favorite at bars and breweries all over, and has been seen on NBC, in the “Seattle International Comedy Competition,” at “SheDevil NYC,” “10,000 Laughs,” and “Laugh Your Asheville Off” comedy festivals. She hopes one day to be friends with someone who owns a glamorous boat.
