About Bridgetown Comedy Festival
Since its inception in 2008, Portland’s Bridgetown Comedy Festival has grown to become one of the largest and most beloved comedy events in the country. The festival has hosted over 500 performers throughout its history, including Patton Oswalt, Marc Maron, Janeane Garofalo, Maria Bamford, Todd Barry, and Fred Armisen. The lineup for the 2013 festival signature blend of world-famous headliners, up-and-coming performers, and the Pacific talent. Festival venues, focused primarily along Hawthorne Boulevard, include the Bagdad Theater, Mt. Tabor Theater, the Hollywood Theater, and the Hawthorne Theatre, in addition to smaller and more informal performance spaces within the neighborhood. Audience members can see any of the dozens of shows over the course of the weekend with a single wristband; they can quickly hop from seeing a sold-out show in a 500-seat venue to seeing a national headliner in an intimate, 20-seat performance space.
