About Day Job:
Day Job has been making audiences pee a tiny bit in their pants from uncontrollable laughter since the summer of 2014. They are known for their use of physical comedy, heartwarmingly bizarre interactions, and pigeons. They’ve graced the stage as salmon, bros, Waldo, eligible murderers, QFC employees, mimes, and embarrassing dads. They have performed across this great nation at venues such as The Ballard Underground, Arts Crush, The Comedy Womb, The Pocket Theatre, and The Annex. Day Job headlined at SketchFest Seattle in 2014 and after winning FundFight this year they are coming back as headliners in September 2015! Come take a delightfully weird journey with Seattle’s only all female sketch comedy group as they tickle your funniest bone. “You do not want to miss this!” -said Everyone Ever.
