Welcome to the Holiday Showdown where the quickest wits in the west put a holiday spin on the comedy, plus special guest aerial acts from the Prismagic Circus!

Hunger Games of Comedy, the Curious Comedy Showdown pits Portland’s finest comedians against one another in a competitive improv comedy cage match that will make you laugh until you cry. Six players enter the stage. Only one will survive to play another day!

Armed with razor-sharp wit and your suggestions, the players must create fast-paced and hilarious scenes on the spot to win audience votes – round after round – in hopes of living to see another day. Finally, you decide which player is left standing. If you like Whose Line Is It Anyway, then you’ll love this show!

Show @ 7:30pm
Doors @ 6:45pm

Prismagic is an international performance company that creates full scale circus productions, vignette skits, and hourly ambient performances. We create all original material from the costumes and choreography to the cinematic, bitter-sweet love stories we tell on stage. The company is known as the circus for the tender hearts. For more about them, visit https://www.prismagic.org/

You can watch our long-running flagship improv show in person at our beautiful cabaret-style main stage venue in Northeast Portland, Oregon – or – watch the slick-as-hell livestream from home with your dog on your lap. Either way, you’re going to have a good time.

If you’re looking for an alternative to the same old options – like bars, bowling, or a movie – then you’ve found it! Curious Comedy Showdown is a Portland favorite for first dates and date nights, birthday parties, bachelorette parties, company events, team bonding, and girls-night-out! Without a doubt, this show is one of the most fun and unique things to do in Portland.
