Last month the Bridgetown Comedy Festival announced a strong initial lineup: Rachel Bloom! Matt Braunger! Rachel Dratch! Lance Bangs! But even more comics are still being added to the roster—here are the latest additions, direct from Bridgetown founder Andy Wood:

Greg Behrendt—Alt comedy legend who came up in the same SF scene that produced Patton Oswalt and so many others, he’s the author of He’s Just Not That Into You, his comedy special was “That Guy from That Thing,” he formerly co-hosted the podcast “Walking the Room,” he has a surf-rock band called the Reigning Monarchs, and he beat cancer last year.

David Huntsberger—He recently put out a special called “One-Headed Beast” and he was a co-host of the “Professor Blastoff” podcast, the host of the Reactor television show on the SyFy channel, and an alum of Last Comic Standing.

Louis Katz—Super funny guy making his first Bridgetown appearance, he’s been on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon, HBO’s Down & Dirty w/Jim Norton, and most recently, Comedy Central’s Comedy Underground w/Dave Attell. He was also a regularly featured writer/correspondent on FX’s Totally Biased with W Kamau Bell. His half-hour “Comedy Central Presents” special aired in 2011, coinciding with the release of his debut comedy album, If These Balls Could Talk, on Comedy Central Records.

With honor and distinction, Erik Henriksen served as the executive editor of the Portland Mercury from 2004 to 2020. He can now be found at henriksenactual.com.
