Description:
Montgomery County Friends of Animal Care and Control (FACC) presents the Raise the Woof Comedy Event on Saturday, November 4, 2017 at the Hyatt Place on University City Boulevard in Blacksburg, VA.

Montgomery County Friends of Animal Care and Control is teaming up with the comedians of "Raise the Woof" led by headliner Lamont Ferguson for a night packed with laughter and fun. Besides a special comedy show, the event will also include heavy hors d'oeuvres, a 50/50 raffle, silent auction and cash bar.

Lamont Ferguson started his comedy career at the ripe age of 17. Having been a highly touted musician throughout high school, it seemed only natural. Lamont’s trumpet playing got him such prestigious gigs as opening band musician for Miss Ella Fitzgerald as well as various Las Vegas performances. He made his first stand-up appearance at the La Jolla Comedy Store and according to him it’s been “one long war of attrition after that.” In the past 20 years he’s played everywhere from Anchorage to Yuma and all letters in between. He’s been honing his craft for all those years.

He has gained the respect of many in the comedy community. His act is clever, intelligent, original and insightful. He is considered to be a professional amongst professionals. Lamont started a company in 1999 called Sprocket Entertainment. Sprocket Entertainment is produces the critically acclaimed “West Coast Funnies” currently touring the Western part of the US. The comedy variety show has been called by Time-Warner cable as “The west coast’s answer to Saturday Night Live!”

Lamont Ferguson has appeared on Comedy Central, Comics Unleashed and ABC’s Family Channel. He was the Winner of the Seattle International Comedy Competition, three time semi-finalist at the Boston Comedy Festival, named "Best of Fest" at Detroit and SLO Comedy Festivals and finalist in the San Francisco International Comedy Competition. He has the distinction of being one of the only comics in the country that has opened for all of the following comedians: Steve Harvey, George Lopez, Larry Miller, Garry Shandling, Richard Jeni, and George Carlin.
