Ready for the time jump that is spring forward this Sunday? Before Monday’s rough wake up call, spend time at weekend events from the Portland Small Press & Art Book Fair to Cargo’s Global Day of Unplugging Portland Style and from the 10th Annual Lunar New Year Dragon Dance and Celebration to the Portland Mercury’s Sandwich Week. For more ideas, check out our top picks of the week.
FRIDAY
COMEDY
Dead Comics Society
After the closure of Rogue’s Eastside Pub last fall (the entire brewery abruptly and permanently ceased operations in December), the monthly Dead Comics Society stand-up showcase, which has been a Portland mainstay since 2017, has been left without a home. Luckily for the local comedy scene and hungry audiences, Framework Studio has stepped in to accommodate as hosts Chase Brockett and Gina Marie Christopher bring in some of Portland’s top talent for a night of drinks and laughs. The March edition features Shain Brenden, Andy Iwancio, Dan Weber, Ameerah Sanders, and Undisputable Genius of Comedy Nariko Ott, who will lend his hosting skills to the Mercury’s annual comedy show at Revolution Hall later this month. Long live Dead Comics Society! BRI BREY
