The South Sound has had a few talented jokesters emerge and stay relevant over the years - namely Ralph Porter (Tacoma) and Nate Jackson (Lacey). Hopefully, the area can add another to the list. The Sampan's Laughs & Lyrics series launches Wednesday, presenting host/DJ Backpack Chris and other DJs spinning after comics every second Wednesday. The kickoff show offers a dinner special paired with the comedic stylings of Anthony "Blu" Harlem, who opened for the legendary Dave Chappelle during his most recent visit to Seattle.
