Funniest Five Nominees (JP Bogan)

Here’s a light reading assignment ahead of the annual Funniest Five Showcase happening at Revolution Hall on Feb. 5. More than 100 comedians were nominated as Portland’s Funniest Person for 2026. The poll went out to standup and improv comedians, show producers, venue owners and past winners.

This year’s Funniest Five all appeared on this list last year, and next year’s quintet is probably listed here too. Study the list and either way, you’ll know who Portland’s comedians look to when they need a laugh too.
