I have had some questions lately about where people can see free and enjoyable local comedy, or where they should go to perform some, and although I try hard not to have anything useful on this page, I am too lazy to write things down for people and would like to have something on the internet.
Monday Nights: Boiler Room with Kevin Michael-Moore, 503-227-5441. NW 3rd and Davis.
This is the longest-running open mic in Portland. It is seven years old. Sign-up is at 9, the show is from 9:30 to 11:30, or earlier, karaoke follows! Kevin Michael-Moore is an amazing emcee. I like it there. Kevin keeps the chitchat to a minimum. This mic is not running tomorrow, the 28th, but it will be back soon!Tuesday Nights: Suki's, at SW 4th and Carruthers. 9:30-12:00. Host Dax Jordan, 503-226-1181.
This is a fun room in the dive bar in the basement of Travelodge. The comics believe that sitting in the small cul-de-sac room is the same thing as being in a soundproof shark cage. Dax is skilled and funny, and this is the hands-DOWN best place to be ignored by your friends in the shark cage while they talk about who threw up in whose car, and also who has pot.

Great info. Thanks for posting it. Are there currently any Open Mics on Thursday nights that you know of?
ReplyDeleteThanks for asking! An incredible mic hosted by Veronica at the Mt Tabor Theatre returns this Thursday at 9! Please write her 24 hours in advance for a slot: veronicaheathcomedy@gmail.com.
ReplyDeleteSweet. Thanks so much for the info. Your site is the only useful guide to comedy in Portland I've found. I also found this bi-weekly open mic at the Brody Theater. I don't know much about the venues in the area. Have you ever performed there?
ReplyDeleteI have heard about the Brody but did not know they had made it a regular thing! I love teh Brody and its ubermensch Brad Fortier. Anyways, thanks for enjoying badinia.com, and come say hi to me of you see me at a mic!
ReplyDeleteUp to the second info- Veronica says Mt. Tabor is nor ready to restart this Thursday- check this space for more details.
