From the P-I:

San Diego comedian Lamont Ferguson won the 26th annual Seattle International Stand-up Comedy Competition. In a five-night runoff at area clubs, Ferguson narrowly defeated Seattle comic Heneghen to win the $5,000 first prize.

Ferguson won over the crowd with his smooth, conversational style. Heneghen, in second place, won $2,200. Third place went to Vancouver, B.C., comic Graham Clark.

The fourth-place winner was Sadiki Fuller of Houston. And fifth place went to Andy Peters of Seattle. Ferguson performs Thursday-Saturday at the Comedy Underground. Tickets: $12-$15.
