SEE | Faded Comedy with Sean Jordan

Portlanders love to celebrate the return of 2014 WW Funniest Five alum Sean Jordan, especially when he rolls into town with a regular guest from his popular podcast, All Fantasy Everything, like Mike Mulloy. The duo won’t be doing fantasy drafts of cultural references, but the single-show engagement should be enough to get deep and take too seriously a number of super-silly topics. Helium Comedy Club, 1510 SE 9th Ave., 503-583-8464, portland.heliumcomedy.com. 8 pm Sunday, Dec. 12. $20-$28. 21+.

VIRTUAL | Cider Summit Northwest Holiday Festival to Go

Last year, every beer and cider festival that could be packaged as a take-home event did just that in order to provide drinkers with some form of entertainment as they hunkered down for the pandemic.

Choose from three different tasting kits, then crack open your assortment of cans and bottles while watching short videos featuring the cidermakers describing their creations on the Cidercraft magazine YouTube channel. Cider Summit Northwest, cidersummitnw.com/nwholiday. Orders must be received by 11:59 pm Sunday, Dec. 12.
