The Portland Sketch Comedy Festival presents Colette Gregory (Chicago) + Spoucho (Columbus)
Sat, Jul 25 at 8pm
This festival can't stop and we prove it with...
Colette Gregory (Chicago): Got questions about Black people you don’t want in your search history? In Black Best Friend (BBF) multi-hyphenate artist Colette Gregory, has your answers. The so-called "Oprah of Comedy" deconstructs sexuality, religion and everything from Black Conservatives to Love is Blind contestants in her first ever solo show. The result is an unforgettable evening of belly laughs, knowing head nods and songs you’ll be singing in the shower. Awarded “Favorite Sketch or Variety Performance by a Group or Individual” at the 2024 Pack Hollywood Festival, Black Best Friend will leave you thinking about what it is to be a “Token Black Face” in a predominantly white space.
Spoucho (Columbus): is a three-person sketch group from Columbus, Ohio. They are forever bonded by their love of basketball despite having never played the game and barely understanding the rules. One thing they do understand is sketch comedy. Spoucho seamlessly blends their sharp wit with silly characters to create a sketch show that satisfactorily ties everything together by the end of the show in a cute, thematic bow. When these all-stars hit the stage, they'll break comedy ankles and you'll be calling a time-out...so you can catch your breath! And guess what? Not laughing is a foul because every sketch is a slam dunk!
