Absolute Karaoke Entertainment Group

Pat Clark is a karaōke god. My life wouldn’t be complete without him and Karaōke!

Past few visits were not as stellar as before. In particular the KJs were not as organized and repeated singers in the rotation in front of new sign ups. Still a good option though. Their niche selection of tracks I mentioned in my earlier review has been far, far outmatched by Baby Ketten Karaōke.

If there were more stars, I would tack them on. I do an unreasonable amount of karaōke, and I’ve kind of landed here as my home spot. Wednesday nights at Columbia City theater are my all time favorite. Even my friends who claim to get hives when they leave Capitol Hill will make the trip to join me here. You should too!!!

I do more karaōke than anyone rationally should, so I’ve seen a giant cross section/​spectrum of karaōke host/​methods of hosting. AND I can’t imagine a better operation than Absolute Karaōke. I don’t know most of the hosts that well, but they’re all cool and Pat Clark is MF’n G! The quality of that dude’s vocal cords literally makes me angry!
Also, speaking to the unique (and quality) methods of this operation: Goddamn they have a lot of songs, and they add more seemingly on a daily basis. Also the thing where you can see which singers are upcoming is frickin great. You know when you’re singing like 20 minutes before you have to sing, as opposed to 20 seconds. You can step out and have a smoke with confidence, knowing that you’re not going to miss you opportunity to butcher «Love Shack.»
Naw, but clearly I’m a fan. If you’re looking for someplace to karaōke, you would be wise to find out where Pat Clark and the Absolute Karaōke folks are at and then go there!
PS Monday night at The Atlantic Crossing is a hidden gem, check it out!

None better than Absolute Karaōke hosts. They all make the evening FUN and they are super «professional» at their jobs. I love that they keep things MOVING. Pat Clark is god!
Seriously, you will have a great time if you seek out an AK venue. You absolutely look forward to the «top of the rotation» where Pat, Johny, Chase, Bombschelle sing and you are so blown away! (God I miss Orcas Landing!),
And who mentioned «Love Shack» uh. that’s ours! Though we have replaced it lately with «See YOu Later, Alligator!»

All hail Pat Clark.

Ignition (Remix) was in their karaōke song book. I rocked the shit out of it. ‘Nuff said.

I sang…
but never got my schmancy participation condom. Oh well, next time I guess. And you bet your pants, there ~will~ be a next time!!!
The book is large, in charge, intimidating, and bound to have something you can belt out to your hearts content.
KJ was incredible and really knew how to run the show.
And considering its for free? Well, can’t do much better now then can you?

Ridonkulously awesome KJ and song book. Um, ’nuff said. I sent in a request for them to add Stone Roses’ — She Bangs The Drums.

How’d I miss out on the condoms?! OK, so that’s not relevant at all.
Absolute Karaōke is not a location. Rather, it is a group of talented hosts with a karaōke book that could flatten a small dog that travels from place to place and puts on what is probably the best night of karaōke one can have with random strangers. Note, this means you are not ensconced in a private room with just your friends to witness your humiliation and thus, I recommend the shy amongst us lose their karaōke virginity elsewhere (like Rock Box) and then check Absolute Karaōke’s calendar to find out where to get one of those condoms! Guess they are relevant after all.
The hosts manage the line-​up and do a great job making sure everyone who wants to sing gets a chance. They also get up from time to time to wow the crowd with their own considerable talent. The particular venue can have some bearing on how enjoyable the evening is – things like the quality, pricing, and availability of drinks and the make-​up of the non-​karaoking customers – but the karaōke is so fun that these peripheral factors almost don’t matter.

The book? Massive and intimidating, it’s like the Karaōke Bible. I mean, they even had Ignition (Remix) instead of just Ignition (and the remix is so so so so so so sososo much better). La-​la-​la-​love the host (Josh), who is super charming and talented. The best part? Every singer gets an Absolute Karaōke condom, which is good because we all know that nothing gets you all het up like hollerin’ on a mic. Absolute Karaōke: preventing karaōke babies since …

I love me some karoke. This is true.
I love a good book, a gracious and talented KJ, an ability get the crowd involved and a certian ‘je né sais quoi’ that always rockets you from a fun time to an EPIC night.
Absolute Karaōke has all of these things and more!
I highly recommend checking their calendar and following them wherever they may be and I guarantee you’ll have more fun than you’ve ever had at karaōke.
Or your money back. That is, if it was free.
