SUMMARY:Laurie Kilmartin
DESCRIPTION:Laurie Kilmartin is stand up comedian and an Emmy-nominated\, WGA award-winning comedy writer. She was a staff writer for all 11 years of CONAN on TBS\, and has performed standup on CONAN\, Late Late Show w/James Corden\, and Comedy Central. She was a Top 10 finalist on season 9 of NBC’s Last Comic Standing\, and has been a guest on Marc Maron’s WTF 3 times. She is the author of Dead People Suck\, a comedic memoir about grief\, and Shitty Mom\, a NY Times bestselling comedy about parenting. Her special “45 Jokes About My Dead Dad” was named among Vulture ‘s Top Ten Comedy Specials of 2016. In 2022\, she was a guest in the “Comedy” episode of Hillary Clinton’s 2022 Apple TV series “Gutsy.” Her new special “Cis Woke Grief Slut\,” taped at Hollywood’s El Portal Theater is available across streaming platforms. \nBorn and raised in the Bay Area\, Laurie became interested in trying standup after seeing one too many male comics talk about women. even in San Francisco\, the early 90s lineups were stacked with men lazily stereotyping approximately half the people in the audience. Laurie distinctly remembers sitting through a comedy showcase thinking\, “I don’t like shopping\, and I don’t go to the bathroom in pairs.” Her need to try standup came from an intense desire to tell her own story\, instead of hearing it being told to her by a dude. \nAfter a successful first time onstage\, Laurie moved back in with her parents\, bought a Chevy Blazer and started driving to gigs all over the West. By the time she donated the Blazer to KCRW\, there were over 500\,000 miles on the odometer. She has worked one nighters\, comedy clubs\, casinos and wars. In fact\, she performed for troops in both Iraq wars\, including a New Year’s Eve show at one of Saddam Hussein’s occupied palaces. After ten years of basing herself in NorCal\, she relocated to New York City in 1999. In 2003\, she added TV writing to her resume\, with her first staff job on Comedy Central’s “Tough Crowd with Colin Quinn.” She moved onto “The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson” and tried her hand at daytime on “The Bonnie Hunt Show” before being hired as a monologue writer on “CONAN” for its entire 11 year run on TBS. \nIn 2006\, she became a mom\, and in 2009\, a single mom. In 2014\, she famously (or infamously) live-tweeted jokes her father’s hospice passing from lung cancer\, and in 2020\, she did the same after her mother was hospitalized with COVID. From these literal cremated ashes came her comedy special and second book (“45 Jokes About My Dead Dad” and Dead People Suck)\, and the 3rd titular element of her 2024 comedy special\, “Cis Woke Grief Slut.” \nFriday\, March 27th\, 2026 in The Grand Ballroom\nDoors at 7:00 PM | Show at 8:00 PM\n$25 General Admission | $35 VIP Front Row + Fees\nGeneral Admission or VIP | 21+ \nClick Here To Request ADA Seating

SUMMARY:Glitterfox
DESCRIPTION:Glitterfox doesn’t chase the algorithm – they follow instinct\, community\, and a kind of magia (Basque for magic). Formed by longtime creative partners Solange Igoa and Andrea Walker\, Portland’s Glitterfox has built their career the analog way: a van\, a map\, and unforgettable shows stitched across towns like constellations. Their rise has been defined by raw connection and fearless self-expression\, with music that fuses garage rock grit\, new wave shimmer\, southern Americana soul\, and a dancefloor pulse — all tangled with heart and heat until what emerges is unmistakably\, inimitably Glitterfox. \nTheir debut full-length “decoder” (out August 2024 via Jealous Butcher Records) is a supernova of sound and spirit — a soundtrack for becoming\, undoing\, and becoming again. The album traces deeply personal terrain: queer love\, personal transformation\, neurodivergence\, and the emotional aftershocks of a romantic split between Igoa and Walker\, who remain deeply connected musical collaborators. Tracks like “Passenger\,” “Change Me\,” “Polaroids\,” and the deceptively euphoric “Wildfires” showcase their ability to turn vulnerability into voltage. \nNow joined by Eric Stalker and Blaine Heinonen\, Glitterfox is more than a band — they’re chosen family\, held together by sound and the invisible threads that music always knows how to weave. Whether launching Portland’s annual Glitterfest as a wedding reception or channeling the messy middle of life into something unforgettable\, Glitterfox’s gift is their transparency\, their defiance\, and their freedom — sung loud. \nThursday\, March 19 \nDoors at 7 | Show at 8 \n$20 preshow + fees | $25 at doors

SUMMARY:An Evening with Fran Lebowitz
DESCRIPTION:In a cultural landscape filled with endless pundits and talking heads\, Fran Lebowitz stands out as one of our most insightful social commentators. \nHer essays and interviews offer her acerbic views on current events and the media – as well as pet peeves including tourists\, baggage-claim areas\, after-shave lotion\, adults who roller skate\, children who speak French\, or anyone who is unduly tan. The New York Times Book Review calls Lebowitz an “important humorist in the classic tradition.” Purveyor of urban cool\, Lebowitz is a cultural satirist whom many call the heir to Dorothy Parker. \nLebowitz worked odd jobs\, such as taxi driving\, belt peddling\, and apartment cleaning (“with a small specialty in Venetian blinds”)\, before being hired by Andy Warhol as a columnist for Interview. That was followed by a stint at Mademoiselle. Her first book\, a collection of essays titled Metropolitan Life\, was a bestseller\, as was a second collection\, Social Studies. By turns ironic\, facetious\, deadpan\, sarcastic\, wry\, wisecracking\, and waggish\, Lebowitz’s prose is wickedly entertaining. \nBetween 2001 to 2007\, Lebowitz had a recurring role as Judge Janice Goldberg on the television drama Law & Order. She also had a part in the Martin Scorsese-directed film\, The Wolf of Wall Street (2013). A raconteur if ever there was one\, Lebowitz has long been a regular on various talk shows including those hosted by Jimmy Fallon\, Conan O’Brien\, and Bill Maher. In an interview with the Paris Review\, Lebowitz said “I’m not a nervous person. I’m not afraid to be on TV. I’m only afraid when I write. When I’m at my desk I feel like most people would feel if they went on TV.” \nSaturday\, March 14\, 2026\n7:00pm\, Reserved Seating\n$31-$51
