In case you haven’t noticed, Portland is a hotbed of comedic talent—one that’s been a springboard for the careers of such nationally recognized stand-ups as Ian Kamel, Shane Torres, Kyle Kinane, Matt Braunger, Ron Funches—the list does not stop. That’s why the Mercury is dedicated to spotlighting some of the best comedy Portland has to offer (as well as up ‘n’ coming newbies you just gotta see) with our annual showcase, The Undisputable Geniuses of Comedy!
Since 2016, the Mercury’s Geniuses of Comedy has been a celebration of local talent as well as a sure-fire night of belly laughs. And this year’s edition of Geniuses promises even more fun, with 10 highly curated acts of standup, sketch comedy, and wild stuff you’re not going to see anywhere else—since this sparkling night of laughs plays for only one night (Thursday, March 20 at Revolution Hall), you should get your tickets quick at merctickets.com because it WILL sell out!
Check out our shit-hot lineup of pants-peeing comedic talent at this year’s UNDISPUTABLE GENIUSES OF COMEDY!

He’s also one of Portland’s best comedy hype men, and trust us, you’ll fall in love with his intense (yet oh-so-lovable) style.
