The Portland Sketch Comedy Festival presents Locals Only Thursday featuring D&D, Group Shower, Phil Schallberger, Sick Day
Thu, Jul 23 at 7pm
The 2026 festival kicks off with LOCALS ONLY: One show, four sketch comedy performances. All from Portland!
SICK DAY
SICK DAY is a comedy troupe based in Portland, OR. Founded by Peter Lundquist and Benny Burnett and featuring a rotating cast of collaborators, SICK DAY makes live and video sketches that answer the question, "what if you wanted to see something funny?" Their first show, A Daytime TV Fever Dream, completed a sold-out run at Kickstand Comedy in September 2025 and has since appeared at the Toronto Sketch Comedy Festival.
GROUP SHOWER
Group Shower is a Portland, Oregon-based comedy troupe consisting of Andrew Kathan, Megan Reay, James Seminara, Tessa Waring, and Lucas Salazar. Performing together for over 3 years, these five close friends toe the line between raunchy and loveable as they display their chemistry both on stage and off. Oft labeled "a handsy team," their intimacy shines through to create a piece that wouldn't make sense anywhere else but right here. Past performances include their original show An Evening With Group Shower (2025), the Denver Sketch Festival (2024), the Portland Sketch Comedy Festival (2024), the Shady Pines Festival (2023-2025), and at many local shows at Kickstand Comedy, Curious Comedy, and beyond.
PHIL SCHALLBERGER
Phil Schallberger is Portland's premiere Solo-Sketch-AV-Comedian, blending years of experience in Stand-up, Sketch, Improv, and a casual grasp of visual design to create a truly one-of-a-kind experience.
D&D
D&D is made up of sketch comedy vets David Wester and David Burnett. D&D use comedy to explore the mysteries of the unknown—the universe, the psyche, and the absurdity of masculinity. Having never lived up to their fathers’ standards of lawn care, the Davids began their collaboration in 2016 and have quickly become favorites at the Siren Theater and beyond, performing at the Portland Mercury's Geniuses of Comedy Show and The Seattle Sketchfest.
