Welcome to The Stage

Emcee Bruce Detore

A native of Seattle, Bruce Detore believes that the true purpose of comedy is to be a coping mechanism for the struggles we all go through. From failed relationships and chronic battles with weight and depression to flipping off the grim reaper in 2019, there's no subject that can't be overcome by finding humor in it. Since late 2022, Bruce has been gracing numerous stages throughout the Pacific Northwest. His irreverent and sometimes shocking humor aims to ride the line without crossing it, often failing. With a healthy dose of self-deprecating humor, Bruce believes that if you can laugh at him, you can laugh at yourself.

Vinayak Pal

From opening for legends like Russell Peters, DL Hughley and Akaash Singh, to touring across India, Vinayak brings a unique voice with his comedy, which is equal parts sharp and authentic.

His comedy draws from growing up with a single Indian mom, overcoming the judgement accompanying that from the Desi community and making friends who had his back.

Vinayak fearlessly explores cultural clashes, family dynamics and relationships with an edge that keeps audiences cracking up. His tag line is, “Once you go brown, you never frown.”
