Emmett Montgomery » Born and raised in Utah Valley, this Seattle-based comic is stoked to headline in his home state this month.

Despite all this, he's still a little nervous to spiel in front of his old peeps. Show him a warm welcome as he returns to the salt lick on Oct. 22 to make you laugh with his jokes and comedic short films. And just a warning, he might have some of his senial paper bag puppets for sale.
