“My Straight Friends” Is Doing A Pride Week Show In Seattle…With A Very Special Guest?!?!?

June 10, 2025• byMichael Strangeways

Soooooo….everyone’s favorite former teacher/hot young daddy/up and coming gay stand up comedian, Seattle’s own Joe Dombrowksi just hinted that the June 25th edition of his very popular gay stand up talk show MY STRAIGHT FRIENDS at Emerald City Comedy Club, 210 Broadway East on Capitol Hill, will have a VERY, VERY special guest! WHO will it be?

Patti LuPone?

She needs a gig…

Joe and his My Straight Friends co-host/creator of the show and fellow Seattle based gay comedian Ricci Armani haven’t released ANY names for the next show, but it usually sells out anyway, even if disgraced Broadway elder divas are not in attendance. For those of you unaware, My Straight Friends is a comedy show/talk show where Joe and Ricci interact with the audience and special guest comedian friends who are of the heterospecial persuasion, thus the name of the show.

It’s load of fun…but not the kind of loads you’d get at Steamworks. If you know what I mean, straight friend.
