Comedy jam elevates profile of Native comedians

Native talent and audience members traveled nationwide for an event aimed at gathering laughs and proving to tribal casinos an all-Native lineup can sell out a big venue.

More than 700 people gathered Feb. 5 at the Performing Arts and Event Center in Federal Way, Washington for NSO Entertainment’s third sold-out Native Comedy Jam.

“I want people to see — the casinos to see — that there’s talented people in their own communities, they just need to be given that chance. And that’s what this event does. It gives these talented artists a chance to be seen. Lots of Tribes here could really benefit from what we’re doing,” said Mike Ruffin, founder and CEO of NSO Entertainment.
