The Bridgetown Comedy Festival 2017 lineup is here and it's greatโas usual, it's a delightful mix of big-name stand-ups and local performers and I'm so excited about so many of them! I am especially looking forward to Karen Kilgariff, whose pleasantly crackly voice is in my earbuds every week when I listen to My Favorite Murder, the true crime podcast she hosts with Georgia Hardstark. Baron Vaughn is someone whose set I can see multiple times and never get sick of it (this is rare; if I haven't seen you perform in a year and none of your material is new, I will generally be sad, not delighted). A highlight of last year's fest was watching Guy Branum criticize brocialists. Did you know he went to law school? What a fascinating person. I'm so glad he's back.
Here's your Portland delegation: Marcus Coleman, Anthony Lopez, Becky Braunstein, Robbie Pankow, Alex Falcone, Philip Schallberger, Katie Nguyen, Andie Main, Kirsten Kuppenbender, Whitney Streed, Milan Patel, and JoAnn Schinderle. A bunch of ex-Portlanders are coming back too, including Amy Miller, Shane Torres, Bri Pruett, Sean Jordan, Steven Wilber, Gabe Dinger, Nathan Brannon, and Zak Toscani.
Full lineup after the jump.
