Comedy show gets laughs at the Lodge

October 2, 2017

Slap your knees. Toss your head back. Wipe away the tears of hilarity. Let go.
The time has come to laugh away an entire weekend.

Timberline Comedy Weekend is back, and the historic lodge has lined up six
comedians to tickle your fancy and funny bone. The weekend of Oct. 13 and
14 is the date, and tickets are now available.

The shows run from 8 to 10 p.m. both nights, but space will be limited so
grabbing tickets online is the only guarantee of getting a seat. They may not
be available at the door.

The Timberline stage will feature Andrew Norelli, Josh Sneed and Kristin Key
on Friday night, the 13th; and Dwight Slade, Lachlan Patterson and Ahmed
Bharoocha on Saturday, the 14th. Alex Falcone will be master of ceremonies.
Andrew Norelli is a veteran of late night shows having appeared on Letterman,
Ferguson, Kimmel, plus Comedy Central and Comics Unleashed.

In 2008, Josh Sneed finished second out of 100 of Comedy Central’s top
comedians in the annual Stand-up Showdown competition, and released an
album called “Unacceptable,” which iTunes selected as one of the top 10
comedy albums released.

Kristin Key is best known for being a season favorite on NBC’s “Last Comic
Standing” season 4. Dwight Slade’s career took him through the famous
Comedy Store in Los Angeles to Portland in the 1980s. “Why should I live in
LA when I can be just as miserable and unknown in Portland,” he said.

Lachlan Patterson recently finished runner-up on NBC’s Last Comic Standing.
Ahmed Bharoocha currently performs regularly at LA’s top clubs including The
Comedy Store, The Improv and the Laugh Factory.

Alex Falcone will be the MC, and is a comedian and writer from Portland.
