Find all of February’s highlights below, with events from Cardi B to Matteo Lane and from the Portland Winter Light Festival to the azn zine fest.
COMEDY
Nick Colletti
Unless you’ve been living under a rock for the past decade (or were too young for the glory days of Vine), there’s a very good chance you’ve encountered the ridiculous humor of Nick Colletti. From immortal one-liners like “suh dude” and “what the fuck is up, Kyle” to Real Bros of Simi Valley fame, Colletti has perfected a very specific comedic lane: laid-back, slightly cringe, and infinitely meme-able. If any of his past skits or lines have ever found their way into your head, you’re in for a treat seeing that energy translate onstage, even on a Tuesday. LANGSTON THOMAS
