The following description comes from the event organizer.

Gol Soccer Bar is excited to present, Howler Comedy Hour, a brand new local stand up comedy manifestation, featuring the funniest comedians affordable in today’s economy. Located at the corner of SE 18th Ave. and Hawthorne Blvd., in Gol Soccer Bar, this free show ( with air conditioning, great happy hour drinks/food and fantastic bathroom hand soap ) kicks off Thursday August 18th at 9pm, doors at 8:30. Howler Comedy Hour is a great way to see some of the absolute funniest people coming through Portland, in a chic, intimate setting. 

“We love this community and we’re excited to bring more laughs to it. But if the comedy is bad we’ll turn it into a Karaoke and Kino night.” - Owner Pete Mahr.

During Howler Comedy Hour, Gol will be offering a full food menu and bar, including happy hour drinks and food options. The food is great and the alcohol is the freshest in town.

The first Howler Comedy Hour will feature some of the best comedians in the Pacific Northwest: Kyle Kinane, Arlo Weierhauser, Nariko Ott, Thomas Lundy, Camron Peloso, and Rachelle Cochran

Howler Comedy Hour is hosted by one of Portland’s least favorite farceurs and co-host of the Kelly’s Olympian weekly Sunday comedy open mic, Jono Gindhart. The Oregonian has hailed him as “Who?”

An anonymous source from a reputable local publication described his comedy as “lukewarm 7-11 coffee.” 

Don’t miss the funniest comedians in and around the Portland area or you’ll never meet that guy who grows therapeutic mushrooms, which help you rethink the meaning of life, leaving you in a perfect permanent transcendental state and then you win the powerball. Come laugh with that guy, only during Howler Comedy Hour. Thursday August 18th, 9pm at Gol Soccer Bar, 1739 SE Hawthorne Blvd. Portland, Or. 97214
