Holiday Rehab Comedy Show
The following description was submitted by the event organizer.
Exhausted from family gatherings that include the uncle who starts off conversations with, “This may be an unpopular opinion, but…”? Sick of having to praise mom’s green bean casserole even though it’s sucked since 1987? Wanna scream because a cousin needs a ride to the airport at 4:45 a.m.?
Come join a night of laughs with an elite squad of Portland’s funniest people and forget about all that for a few hours. Please leave the casserole at home — nobody wants it.
