The Edmonds Chamber Foundation has created a WISH Fund (When Inconvenient Stuff Happens) to help businesses get back on their feet faster after a catastrophe. This program is intended to assist in disaster recovery when an incident is not covered by insurance, or a business is under-insured.

Vince Valenzuela has shared the stage with such comedians as Adam Sandler, Bobcat Goldthwait, Robert Klein, Paul Rodriguez, Richard Jeni, Howie Mandel, Jay Mohr and Carlos Mencia. His stand up gained national recognition from several television appearances including: Comedy Central’s Make Me Laugh and A&E’s An Evening at the Improv, HBO’s Loco Slam, USA’s Up All Night, Si’Tv’s “Funny is Funny”, Entertainment Tonight and many more.
Andrew Sleighter performed on Last Comic Standing, recorded a comedy special for Dry Bar and made his late-night stand-up debut on Conan. He’s also written and performed sketch comedy for Comedy Central and wrote and blogged for the Sports Show with Norm Macdonald on Comedy Central. Most recently Andrew appeared on the Late Late Show with James Corden.
A regular at colleges and comedy clubs across the country, Andrew’s also performed at some of the most prestigious comedy festivals in and out of the country including Bumbershoot, Bridgetown, Gilda’s Laugh Fest, The Aspen Comedy Festival, Laughing Skull, and the Johnny Carson Great American Comedy Festival.
Andrew’s comedy has the ability to reach wide ranges of audiences and works in a diversity of rooms. Reliable and consistent, he rarely ends a show by lighting the stage on fire out of rage. Most importantly, he’s constantly fascinated by and eager to keep learning about stand-up.
Adam Pasi is a Portland comic who is quickly becoming among the most recognized names in Northwestern comedy. Born in Tacoma, WA and raised on army bases on the East Coast and in Germany, Adam’s unique outlook on life allows him to craft absurd yet relatable stories, culminating in admittedly ridiculous calls to arms. Adam has appeared on the IFC show “Portlandia” and has performed on the Limestone, Wenatchee, and Bridgetown comedy festivals. He is a regular host at Helium Comedy Club, as well as a co-host of the bi-monthly comedy game show Funny Humans vs. The Wheel. Frequently intense, but never taking himself too seriously, Adam Pasi encourages all who’ll listen to join him in his mostly imaginary, but always amusing crusade against… well, something. Whatever it is, being loud and silly is the only way to fight it.
Andrew Rivers’ very personal and fun storytelling comedy, combined with his exemplary work ethic has earned him high praise from some of the best comedians in the business. Andrew is a regular opener for Christopher Titus and has toured across North America and Europe with Steve Hofstetter.
Andrew was rejected from Netflix and The Tonight Show and was cut from a bad standup show NBC did a few years ago too. But his comedy specials from Dry Bar Comedy (2018) and The Laugh Button (2021) have millions of views on YouTube anyway.
Mary Lou Gamba is an East Coast transplant happily nestled in the Pacific Northwest. A middle aged teenager and delightfully dirty bird, Mary Lou will get you laughing til you snort with her charming wit and silly exaggerations of her goofy life.
As a regular opener and headliner, this pint-sized dynamite burns down comedy clubs, bars, and locker rooms all over the country. Mary Lou has been featured at HBO’s Women in Comedy Festival, The Bumbershoot Music and Arts Festival and was a finalist in the 2023 Seattle International Comedy Competition. Watch out, she’ll steal your chicken.
