I’m not sure if local comedian Dartanion London is simply dedicated to his craft or just outright crazy: in addition to putting on his weekly Dart-mondo shows with their unique format in which comndians perform a short stand-up routine which is then immediately followed a group of improv artists acting out the themes in their material (Saturday nights at 12:30 at the Historic University Theater, through March 15), he’s kicking off a new comedy festival called the “Week of Fun” which begins Thursday night, January 24 at Central Cinema with a show which features some of the best members of the local alternative comedy scene.

The festival moves to Ballard on Friday for a free, all-ages (inappropriate for young children) show at Mr. Spot’s Chai House and then continues with shows in the U District, downtown Seattle, Capital Hill and Ballard again. If you’re in the mood to be amused, check out the schedule at the Week of Fun website for complete details. [#].
