Ben Schwartz & Friends
Your first encounter with Ben Schwartz may have been his role as wannabe baller Jean-Ralphio Saperstein on Parks and Recreation. ("It's like I always say. When life gives you lemons, you sell some of your grandma's jewelry, and go clubbing.") Since then, he's voiced Sonic the Hedgehog (a role that oddly suits his comedy style, which has a case of the zoomies) and starred in three Netflix improv specials. He'll drop by Portland on the heels of the release of schlocky horror-comedy Renfield, in which he stars alongside Nicolas Cage as Dracula. (If your dad's jokes are growing more groan-worthy by the second, take him to the show for an ad hoc comedy lesson.)
