Bengt Washburn w/ Bryan GutmannPresented by Cap City Comedy Club at Cap City Comedy Club September 1-September 4, 2010 Oh, sure, you can feel free to sit there and try to make jokes about Bengt (pronounced “bent”) Washburn’s name, but please keep in mind that on his worst day, Washburn is probably far funnier than you are on your best day--especially when it comes to his given name. For one immediate example, look no further than his web site URL (www.GetBengt.com).
