Ticket link: 
https://www.eventbrite.com/manage/events/1309395660669/details

Cancel your plans (unless they involve winning the lottery or adopting a puppy), because Monica Nevi is bringing her razor-sharp wit and Northwest charm to Side Hustle Taproom on Thursday, May 8!

Born and raised in Renton, Monica grew up in a family that treated humor like a second language. After a basketball injury at Seattle University, she did what any sidelined athlete with impeccable timing would do—she became a stand-up comic. Since then, she’s been absolutely crushing it on stages across the country, on TV, and in her acclaimed comedy special Big Stepdad Energy, which landed on We Own The Laughs magazine’s Top 50 Specials of the Year list.

This is your chance to catch Monica live, where she’s at her hilarious best—telling stories, dropping punchlines, and making you laugh so hard you forget how weird the world is.

Event Details:

  • Date: Wednesday, May 8
  • Doors Open: 7:00 PM
  • Show Starts: 8:00 PM
  • Tickets: $20 in advance | $25 at the door
  • Food and Drink: Available on-site
  • Location Info: Side Hustle Taproom – Kirkland

Come early, grab a drink, and settle in—it’s going to be a night you’ll be quoting for weeks.

Join us this spring & come together with fellow animal aficionados for an evening of heartfelt giving to benefit homeless cats and dogs in our community. Together at a new location, with a beautiful aesthetic, fun activities, and an exciting new menu, we will celebrate 35 years of Homeward Pet!

The Fur Ball Dinner & Auction provides a space for like-minded animal lovers to show their support and have a wonderful night out. The evening will provide raffles, games, prizes, kitten cuddles, and opportunities to talk to our staff about the work we love to do!

This year's Fur Ball Dinner & Auction is taking place at Columbia Collective, right here in our home of Woodinville.

The historic Columbia Collective building is a pillar of Woodinville Wine History.  Occupied by Columbia Winery for decades, the building was the site of many firsts for Woodinville wine country. We are thrilled to host our Fur Ball in a place that highlights so much of Woodinville's history and centers our event around our local community.

We hope you will join us at this beautiful new space and help us celebrate 35 years of Making Matches and Saving Lives!
