The Portland Sketch Comedy Festival presents Drop the Rootbeer & Run (Seattle) + Big Ol' Mess (Denver)
Fri, Jul 24 at 6:30pm
Friday night starts with a bang with two troupes!
Drop the Root Beer and Run (Seattle) is a blur of laughs where each sketch flows into the next like some sort of David Lynch fever dream. This trio of irreverent weirdos hit the ground sprinting until their time is up. Want to know how a bird can mess up a basketball game or Aldous Huxley's opinions on peer pressure? How about a cult for the color maroon? Whether you like it or not, there's something here for everyone. Strap in and let's go!
Big Ol’ Mess (Denver) is a sketch comedy group from Denver, CO, but a Big Ol’ Mess show is not your typical sketch show. Their performances range from smart to dumb, leaving audiences cackling and enamored. Each show is carefully curated with original soundtracks and transition music — all created by the performers themselves — yet the vibe stays fun and loose, as these veteran improvisers welcome discovery and hilarious chaos within every sketch. No two Big Ol’ Mess shows are the same, but see one, and you’ll be in love.
