Youโ€™re undoubtedly familiar with the Mercuryโ€™s wildly popular and long-running column, I, Anonymous. (For you newbies, thatโ€™s the weekly column and daily blog that features YOUR completely anonymous rants, apologies, and confessions!) Well, get ready for a welcome surprise: I, Anonymous is now a live monthly comedy show! Hosted by the wonderful and criminally funny Bri Pruett, The I, Anonymous Show will feature theย Mercuryโ€™s best I, Anonymous submissions, which will then be discussed, argued over (and perhaps mocked a bit), live on stage by a panel of hilarious comedians and Portland celebs. And check out our awesome special guests for this Mondayโ€™s October 17 show:

JoAnn Schinderle (Host of Control Yourself Comedy Showcase, finalist in Portlandโ€™s Funniest Person competition)

Whitney Streed (All Jane Comedy Fest, Bridgetown Comedy Fest)

Jason Traeger (Bridgetown Comedy Fest, Mercuryโ€™s โ€œUndisputable Geniuses of Comedyโ€)

This show was a breakaway hit when it premiered at the Bridgetown Comedy Festival, and last monthโ€™s debut performance at the Secret Society was a gut-bustinโ€™ comedy blast. So donโ€™t miss the October edition of the newest and FUNNIEST show in town…

The I, Anonymous Show!
