About the Performers:

Polite Kitty is a comedic storyteller by nature. They tell about their life experiences as an autistic, disabled superparent with epileps y, raising kids, hyper fixations, and dysfunctional family fun. A brilliant style of entertainment that leaves an audience participating and laughing! They work full time as a performer, producer, comedian, and ghost hunt tour guide for Spooked in Seattle. 

***

Valerie Benti takes their day-job as a scientist very seriously, except when they're doing science comedy, which is most of the time. After moving to Seattle in 2018, she founded "Geeky Comedy Seattle,” and you can now find her performing, singing, and producing geeky content wherever they'll let her.

***

Emma Schmuckler (she/her) is a fresh face on the Seattle comedy scene. She’s a storyteller whose comedy touches on her experiences as a Queer, Jewish, Gen-Z harlot who is just trying her best. Emma recently was a semi-finalist in Nate Jackson’s Funniest MFer Comedy Competition and performed in the Upper Left Comedy Festival. You can find her on stages across the Pacific Northwest, and on Instagram and TikTok @emmaschmucks.

***

JA Fields (he/they) is a natural historian, artist, and poet living by the Salish Sea. He is a psychiatric survivor, a survivor of medical negligence, and a cyborg, which is to say he grapples with the medical-industrial complex for access to his own body. You can find him @noncompliantcyborg on many platforms and his first chapbook is available at gum.co/JAFieldsChapbook.
