Rip City Comedy Festival
Debuting in the city's inner southeast neighborhoods (at The Get Down, Helium Comedy Club, Funhouse Lounge, and Rogue Eastside Brewing), The Rip City Comedy Festival is an easily navigated good time—grab a standard wristband or a VIP pass and you're in for three days of laughs from nationally known comics and local faves. The fest also offers panels from comedy industry leaders, but if you're just in it for a good time, here are our suggestions: Head to Femmes the Rules, which "pairs female and non-binary comics with a male comic of their choice, and allows them to interrupt the male comic whenever they'd like." (Hell yeah.) Then, hit Amy Miller's Midnight Mass, a "raucous late-night showcase" punctuated by churchy rituals and audience confessions.
