Auggie Smith Wins 1st Annual Comedy Competition

Congratulations to Auggie Smith, winner of Lucky Eagle Casino’s 1st Annual Comedy Competition!

There was standing room only at the show.  The audience was treated to over 2 hours of side-splitting, hilarious stand-up routines by guest comedians Kermet Apio, Gabe Rutledge, Ron Osbourne, Auggie Smith and Jay Wendell Walker.  A guest panel of judges chosen Smith as the winner, awarding him the grand prize of $5,000.

Smith’s routine about inattentive children especially resonated with the audience, and likely put him over the top with the judges as well. Smith is also last year’s winner of  the San Francisco Comedy Competition, Seattle Comedy Competition and The Boston Comedy Festival.

Thank you to all the comedians who participated in this year’s event!
