Portland’s Five Funniest Comics Are Taking the Stage Tomorrow at Revolution Hall. You’ll Want to Be There.

When we tell you WW’s annual Funniest Five showcase is the best local comedy show of the year, we don’t expect you to believe us. We’re biased, of course. But here’s the thing: It really is. And you don’t have to take our word for it. After all, we didn’t pick the performers. The local comedy community did. And as we’ve found in the seven years we’ve conducted this poll, they have a pretty good read on comedic talent.

This re-imagined marketplace is a gathering of Portland’s diverse and vibrant entrepreneurs, makers, artists, culinary wizards, and beverage crafters. Organized by Prosper Portland and Travel Portland, and sponsored by New Seasons Market, the biannual event is a one-stop shop of emerging local artisans from marginalized communities.
