It’s Happening Tonight!
COMEDY—”PowerPoint” and “comedy” are very, very rarely uttered in the same sentence—but leave it to Comedy Is OK to combine the two. Tonight, some of Portland’s best performers (Bri Pruett! Mike Merrill! Shane Torres!) will give spontaneous PowerPoint presentations based on randomly assigned material. Will it be hilarious, a trainwreck, or a hilarious trainwreck? One […]
