Mainstage Comedy Club Review
It was a fantastic late night show on Saturday at the Main Stage Comedy & Music Club in Seattle. Patricia Allen (co-owner) outdid herself with a sensational venue, top-notch performers and a true-to-Seattle theme. The drinks were well made, the full menu (so I heard) was prepared with care and the performances reflected the best comedians Seattle has to offer. Each portion of the experience was light on the wallet and for complete Saturday night entertainment in the "Emerald City" that is saying something. It was equally impressive that a handful of walk-in comedians showed up when they heard the club had opened; their extra talent lit up the stage and provided an evening of true ab-crunching laughter.
There are a few items left to be addressed regarding the venue itself such as proper dining tables, exterior lighting and signage along with other smaller miscellaneous items. I spoke with each of the three owner/managers of the club and each expressed their undying commitment to build the best entertainment venue on the Greater Eastside. I feel they have a fantastic start.
I will be going back for my birthday celebration on Saturday the 18th of February, we shall see how things are after two full weeks of operation. If anyone is interested the official "Grand Opening" is this coming weekend Thursday-Saturday with live stand-up all night long.
Again, best of luck to Main Stage Comedy & Music Club in Seattle; a much needed and welcomed addition to the Seattle entertainment scene.

"Patricia Allen (co-owner) outdid herself with a sensational venue, top-notch performers and a true-to-Seattle theme."
How did she outdo herself?
It is a figure of speech. It means she did an excellent job, she really went above and beyond. Something that was not previously done before.
It is a derivative of the word 'outdo.' To quote websters.com:
"To surpass in execution or performance: The cook outdid himself last night."
Well, you dont need to give me a definition. To outdo yourself would mean you surpass previous work. Has she done other stand up comedy that you have heard before which she outdid? Has she put on an event before that she outdid?
If she outdid herself, she must have outdone something.
Yes it seems as if you do need a definition. If you read the definition and apply it properly you will see that "outdid/outdo" are not relative to what someone has done before, it is just an expression of what they have just done. Read it again, there is no past tense reference.
In this application it is used to express my delight in her exceeding expectations.
sigh...I give up....
I'm very sorry to hear that, I hope some of the confusion was corrected.
