Looking for a fun—and different—comedy show this weekend? Check out Speechless, an evening of improvised powerpoint hilarity! Here's how it works: Local comedians and clever bon vivants are given a speech topic, and a bunch of totally unrelated powerpoint slides—and then have to improvise a convincing speech, live and on the spot! This is a very popular show in San Francisco and has been equally popular in Portland since it's debut last year. And Saturday night's lineup is a winner:
Sketch & improv funny guy Jed Arkley
Sketch & Improv funny gal Janet Scanlon
Beloved Portland comedian JoAnn Schinderle
And the local winner of the previous Speechless, Gerald McClanahan
Plus it's hosted by the very amusing Erin O'Regan, and judged by comedian Kirsten Kuppenbender and local dummy Wm. Steven Humphrey (hey, that's me!).
Trust me guys, this show is a goddamn hoot, and a super fun night of comedy. So come check it out Saturday night, April 15, 8 pm, at the Siren Theater (315 NW Davis). Get your tickets HERE!
