At the Mercury, we adore comedian JoAnn Schinderle, who was awarded one of the Mercury‘s 2017 Geniuses of Comedy for her delightfully foul-mouthed/whip-smart observations. That’s why we strongly encourage you to attend her upcoming show in which she will be re-recording her first live comedy album—because the first time a dude in the front row was loudly disappointed by her (admittedly many) menstruation jokes.
“The first attempt (at recording my album) in Minneapolis was ruined by a drunken man who didn’t know he was at a show where the headliner was doing 45 minutes of menstruation jokes,” JoAnn says. “Needless to say, a scene was made, and although it was a fun live show, it’s not good for a recording.”
You’ll be happy to know that JoAnn shut the jerky misogynist down, and even happier that she’ll be re-recording the album here in Portland with two big shows on Wednesday January 23 at the Alberta Street Pub. And oh, boy! Check out the heavy-hitting lineup of co-comedians for the evening:
7 pm: AMANDA ARNOLD, ADAM PASI, ALYSSA YEOMAN
9 pm: ALYSSA YEOMAN, JAKE SILBERMAN, AND SURPRISE GUESTS
Even better, this show is also a period product drive, and you’ll get two dollars off admission if you bring menstrual products to be given to those in need.
This is sure to be a humdinger of a show, so don’t miss it! (But if you have negative feelings about menstruation? Maybe stay at home.)
Wed Jan 23, 7 pm & 9 pm, Alberta Street Pub, 1036 NE Alberta, $12 in advance/door, $10 with period product donation, get tickets here.
