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 rosterโ€”here are the latest additions, direct from Bridgetown founder Andy Wood:

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

David Huntsbergerโ€”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 Katzโ€”Super funny guy making his first Bridgetown appearance, he’s been on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon, HBOโ€™s Down & Dirty w/Jim Norton, and most recently, Comedy Centralโ€™s Comedy Underground w/Dave Attell. He was also a regularly featured writer/correspondent on FXโ€™s Totally Biased with W Kamau Bell. His half-hour โ€œComedy Central Presentsโ€ 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.
