Kickstand Comedy (Portland, OR)
I co-founded Kickstand Comedy a 501c3 nonprofit where I’ve served as artistic director for almost a decade. Kickstand Comedy is home to comedy classes, community programming, and over 300 live performances a year, featuring local and national comedians, improv, sketch, stand up, and more…
We founded Kickstand Comedy as a mission-based org and a place for the Portland comedy scene to perform, collaborate, and learn. Our mission as a nonprofit is to bring the Portland Community together through laughter, and to help eliminate the historic barriers that have kept folks from seeing and doing comedy. Kickstand is home to the largest comedy training center in the Pacific Northwest
