SUMMARY:Camp Ham Hock
DESCRIPTION:Camp Ham Hock is a strange summer-camp variety show full of sketch\, improv\, unhinged counselors\, suspicious outhouses\, strange traditions\, and the kind of woods you don’t want to wander into alone. \nWelcome to Camp Ham Hock\, where the rumors are plenty\, the counselors are unhinged\, and there’s definitely NOT a time portal in one of the outhouses. This variety show is packed with sketch\, improv\, music\, weird camp traditions\, and a surprise guest or two. \nCome for the nostalgia\, stay for the nonsense\, and maybe leave with a camp name you never asked for. Camp Ham Hock is calling\, your cabin is waiting… and remember\, never talk to the animals in the woods. \nFeaturing: Eric Simons\, Natalie Hadad\, Lauren Sinner\, Zack Poitras\, Sumita\, Craig McCarthy\, Amirra Patterson\, Julie Basque\, John Taylor\, Nicholle Ortiz\, Thea Crowley\, Afrita Davis\, Molly Waggett and more…

SUMMARY:Chuckle Fucker
DESCRIPTION:It’s 2014 in Reno\, Nevada. Naomi dreams of becoming a World Famous Feminist Comedian\, but she’s hiding behind a deep\, dark secret–she’s a “Chuckle Fucker”\, a groupie\, a fraud. Can she transcend her reputation to realize her destiny as an artist\, or will she succumb to her vices and crumble under the pressure of the patriarchal entertainment industry? \nFrom the Tumblr-rotted mind of comedian\, writer\, and producer Naomi Dixon (@phatbjork\, co-creator and producer of The Astrolo-show)\, Chuckle Fucker explores the wildly hilarious highs and the poignant and cringy lows of sleeping your way to the bottom of the Reno comedy scene PMT (pre-“Me Too”)\, baby! \nShowgirls meets I Think You Should Leave meets GIRLS. Grab your American Apparel tote bag and strap in for a night of character solo sketch\, clowning\, stand-up comedy\, jungian shadow\, and painful vulnerability. Directed by Diana Kolsky (co-creator and producer of The Astrolo-show\, @the_astrolo_show). \nCW: this show contains references to canceled male comedians and explores themes of sexual trauma.

SUMMARY:You\, Me\, and the People We Made Up
DESCRIPTION:Real life married couple and seasoned sketch performers Alonya and Marc Lowe combine forces in this two person sketch show interweaving original characters in different stages of relationships with painfully true and funny stories from their real relationship. \nAlonya and Marc first performed this show in 2019 at Westside Comedy Theater in Los Angeles just a few months after getting married.

SUMMARY:Red\, White\, & Blaine!
DESCRIPTION:Exactly 30 years ago the townspeople of Blaine came together to celebrate their special small town in the Christopher Guest cult classic\, Waiting For Guffman. Under the meticulous direction of off-off-off broadway legend\, Corky St. Clair\, they told the history of Blaine using the very best (local) talent. \nNow\, for ONE NIGHT ONLY\, we bring Red\, White\, and Blaine to Portland. Be a Blaine-ite for the night as we put on a full recreation of the play — with hits such as “Stools” and “Nothing Ever Happens on Mars” plus special never-been-seen-before scenes & surprises. We’ll have an exorbitant amount of costumes\, sets\, balloons\, and of course a seat reserved for Mort Guffman (fingers crossed he shows!) \nImagine singing\, clapping\, and laughing along in a room full of people who love this perfect film just as much as you do. Well now you can! This Fourth of July\, we bleed red\, white\, and Blaine. \nFeaturing: \nRandy Smith\nRoland Mechanik\nLucas Salazar\nDiana Kolsky\nWilly Weltner\nMariah Mercedes Muñoz\nJhordan Blumenberg\nNolan Good\nCraig McCarthy\nDana Murphy\nTony Cohen\nJerilyn Armstrong
