Charity Event for Blanchet House at Harvey's, March 25th!
I know that these economic times are hard for everybody, but sometimes it's those at the bottom that get hit the hardest- I have been invited to work a charity event for the Blanchet House, located on Glisan, which serves 1200 meals a day to those homeless or in need. This is a one-night, one show event at Portland's biggest all-comedy club, Harvey's, with Ron Osborne- Winner of the prestigious Seattle International Comedy Competition, Ron has appeared in over 100 TV commercials, and worked with stars like Drew Carey, Robin Williams, Sam Kinison and Ron White. The most impressive thing about Ron to me, apart from that he's very funny, is that he's the owner/operator of the Trunk Monkey.
Tickets are $15 with free shipping- group discounts available. I can mail you your tickets bought before March 22nd, after that they will be at Will Call. Please press the button below to get your tickets! Big Show Tomorrow!
This is Virginia Jones's page. Virginia Jones the comic. She's a biomass. Mostly carbon. It is about her interests, including stand-up comedy, the Mighty Boosh, obscure music stuff, and French Bulldogs. Virginia Jones was born and raised all over Texas, basically wherever the circus staked its tents. She has worked as a boxing instructor, a swing dance teacher, a waitress, a DJ, a designer of country and western apparel, and also was the only vegetarian assistant manager Jack-In-The-Box ever had. She holds a certificate for two years perfect attendance at J.C. Penney, and she can probably find it to show to you. She has worked for the top two major sportswear companies but is still not clear on the rules of American Football. She likes dancing, playing guitar badly, creating increasingly obscure Halloween costumes, and acting as a comedian and freelance subversive. She was first runner-up in the Portland Amateur Comedy Contest in 2007 and competed in the 2007 Portland Mercury PIZZAZZ talent show, and was a finalist in 2008's Comedy Knockout. She's funnier than John Belushi, Gilda Radner and Bill Hicks put together. She's funnier than all dead people. You can write her at badinia@badinia.com.
