April 18th, 2013:
Fawesome: A Comedy Show
April 21st, 2013:
Undisputedly Funny with Headliner Rodger Lizaola
I am more than excited for this show, which also happens to be an Official PDX Comedy Fans Meetup! Sign up as a member of PDX Comedy Fans on Meetup, and I will save you a seat! It’s totally free to join!
To join the group at the show, just look for the gal in the black cat ears. That would be me, Christina Booth, Organizer. To see a picture of what I look like check out our Upcoming Meetups page here.
The details on the show from the event’s Facebook invite:
Live Stand-Up Comedy is back at Undefeated Sports Bar with a rare Saturday Evening showing!
This month, we have 2 of the fastest rising stars in Portland Comedy, Adam Pasi, and Nariko Ott. Our hilariously irreverent Host, Scott Von Wald, will be leading the festivities.
As if that is not enough, we’ve got a special out-of-town treat coming in to Headline…
The one-and-only Debbie Wooten!
Debbie Wooten has been doing Comedy for over twenty years, helping people from coast to coast get their laugh on. She has brought her Comedy show, ‘From My Heart and My Uterus, the Only Thing I Know’ to audiences all over the country.
Discovered by Comedian Sinbad at a local competition, Debbie has been bringing deep belly laughs ever since. She has performed with a host of Comedy greats including Jamie Foxx, Joe Tory, Louie Anderson, and many more. She has won several national Comedy competitions and appeared on Nick at Nite’s America’s Funny Moms.
Debbie Wooten has just finished starring in her first feature-length film, ‘The Pony Man.‘ Known by many as the Diva of Comedy, her in-your-face comedy style will have you rolling on the floor.
Debbie was born in South Chicago with Spina Bifida, and developed Polio as an infant. Isolated by color and disability, Debbie met the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. when she was eight years old, an experience that changed her life. Debbie uses her life struggles and triumphs in her comedic and inspirational presentation to captivate the room with charm, love and knowledge.
My goodness there is a lot going on in Portland Comedy this month! So much so, that I am splitting this post into two parts. Tune in next week for part two.
The first half of March brings with it three big ol’ pots of Comedy gold in the form of three Official PDX Comedy Fans Meetups that will make you wanna do a jig. Okay, that was really corny, but hey, I’m a Comedy fan, not a Comedian. Thank your four-leaf clovers for that.
Without further dorkiness, here are the shows you’ll want to meet up with fellow fans of Portland Comedy to attend:
NarComics Anonymous @ Tiger Bar
Comedy Double Feature- Kristine Levine & Lonnie Bruhn @ Undefeated Sports Bar
The Weekly Recurring Humor Night:Two-Year Anniversary Wahoo at Tonic Lounge
With Valentine’s Day rapidly approaching, now is the perfect time to step away from the box of chocolates and let laughter work its magic on your serotonin levels. Or, combine laughter and chocolate for an extra kick. I’m not a Doctor, and I’m certainly not judging!
This month is full of chances to enjoy Portland Comedy in many exciting formats. For starters, there is the all-new weekly grassroots television show filmed every Monday at Cadigan’s Corner Bar, Fight Church Television. Read more about Fight Church Television on our Events Calendar.
There are also some phenomenal Official PDX Comedy Fans Meetups this month like Down and Dirty: A Dark Comedy Showcase which takes place at Ash Street Saloon, and Comedy at Crush: Love Burnout Edition. More information on both events can be found on our Upcoming Meetups page.
Plus, you can stay up-to-date on Valentine’s Day-related shows on the PDX Comedy Fans page on Facebook. Click here and give it a ‘Like’ for real-time Comedy info straight to your news feed.

It’s nasty outside. You may be experiencing a shortage of moola after the Holidays. Your co-workers are sick. There’s ice on your windshield. January can just seem a bit bleak sometimes.
But, we’ve still got our resolutions, and the promise of the new year is still fresh in our minds. What better time to get out, meet some new people, and share some laughter? You can do all these things affordably by joining PDX Comedy Fans for our Comedy show Meetup events. There are never dues to pay to be a part of the group, and we focus on low-cost Comedy entertainment options.
January is rocking in the world of Portland Comedy, and we have ramped up our MPM (Meetups per month) rate to account for this. Sounds fancy, right? I just made that terminology up, but really, yes, the PDX Comedy Fans group will be increasingly active in 2013, starting at the beginning with the month of January.
Join us for January Meetups at Ash Street Saloon, Crush Bar, and Langano Lounge. And stay tuned to our Upcoming Meetups page, Facebook Page, and Meetup page for more group outings to be announced soon! I am currently booking Meetups for the month of February and beyond, with soon-to-be-announced events at great venues like the Hawthorne Theater and Star Theater.
Come and Laugh With Us!
~Christina Booth, Organizer, For PDX Comedy Fans
P.S. I just couldn’t end this post without leaking a little info about a TBA Meetup for the month of February. Ready for a sneak peek? The upcoming Meetup involves Karaoke and Comedy in an interactive show that is sure to be a blast…Like I said, stay tuned!
2013 is already shaping up to be a HUGE year in Portland Comedy! With (An estimated) over 300 performing Comics in the Portland area, and Comedy to be seen every night, why shouldn’t it be?
As the Portland Comedy scene grows, so will PDX Comedy Fans. This website is brand-spanking-new, but the PDX Comedy Fans group has been around for just over a year now. If you haven’t already, please consider joining our group on Meetup and Facebook. (Both are totally free to join) Subscribing to our calendar on this site is also a good way to stay connected to what is going down in the world of Portland Comedy. Oh, yeah, and be sure to check out our Upcoming Meetups page for all of our Official PDX Comedy Fans events listed in one place.
Another great resource for Portland Comedy information that I would like to mention is the much more established PDX Comedy Blog which is put together by Comic and Community Organizer, Whitney Streed. You can read some press she got for her hard work in the Portland Comedy community here.
But wherever you get your information on Portland Comedy shows from, the most important thing is making it out to support local Comedy. I hope to see you at a Comedy show soon!
Happy New Year!
