Portland Area Comedy Open Mikes!


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.

Dante's, W Burnside and 2nd. Rochelle Love is giving Dante's another shot at comedy from 7:30 to 9:30 on Tuesdays! No cover!

Wednesdays: A new biweekly mic is starting at the Krakow Cafe and Pub at 3990 N. Interstate- running from 8-11, hosted by Tim Hammer! Email krakowcafe.cafe1@gmail.com to sign up! The next one is March 10!

Thursdays:
Mt. Tabor Theatre! 9PM! Whitney Streed's very popular Freak Show Comedy books ahead of time! Please write her at streed.jokes@gmail.com to reserve your performance slot! 503-235-8021!

Fridays:
Our improv friends at the Brody Theatre at 16 NW Broadway have been rocking an occasional open mic! Call them for details at 503-224-2227!


Sunday Nights:

Sunday Nights at 7PM at The Copper Rooster 5837 E.Burnside St Starts Feb 14th Free Beer for Comics ! Free Cheeseburger to
the Night's Best Comic. Sign ups @ 6:30PM MUSTY'S BACK BABY !!!!!!

A biweekly Sunday night mic at 9PM at the beautiful Curious Comedy Theatre on MLK, hosted by myself! 5225 NE MLK! The next one is Sunday, March 14th. In this venue, several feature comics open the show, and it's free to the public! I may throw projectiles at people whose jokes I don't like. Fair Warning.

The LAST SUNDAY of the MONTH is the Women's and Trans mic at the Krakow, with host Whitney Streed! The next one is March 7th!

Sweet. 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?
