We’ll be making some tweaks to the schedule and the site over the next couple of weeks, including adding more performer bios and linking performers with their show times and venues to make your festival planning even easier. Keep checking back for updates.

Soon-to-be cult classic “Birdemic” is featured in today’s New York Times!

Oh, and did we mention “Birdemic” is making its Portland debut at this year’s Bridgetown Comedy Festival at a special midnight screening on Friday, April 23rd? And that it’s taking place at the beautiful Bagdad Theater? And that director James Nguyen will be in attendance? Yes. Yes we did mention that. But it bears repeating.

Even more performer bios up

We just finished uploading another couple dozen comedians’ pictures and bios — have a look at all the talent, including Baron Vaughn, Jordan Rubin, Claire Titelman, Richard Bain, Morgan Murphy, Timmy Williams and many, many more. 120 comics are posted now, with more to come.
