Beloved comics Amy Miller + Laura Peek were rolling through PDX and decided to do a little pop up show at the beloved Siren!
You may know Amy Miller from her time in Portland! Or you might know BOTH of these gals from the Portland-born All Fantasy Everything Podcast, After Midnight with Taylor Tomlinson, their Don't Tell Comedy specials, or from their iconic forever friendship. They're both paid regulars at both The Comedy Store and New York's Comedy Cellar if you can believe it. You've also seen Laura on the Tonight Show, and Amy on Comedy Central, Comics Unleashed, Viceland and more. Yes, there will be special guests and also Laura and Amy will be trying some new material for Portland (the best comedy crowd in the world). This show just might sell out! You'd be wise to grab your tickets, as much as everybody in Portland is allergic to committing to plans in the summer. This is Amy and I love you. |

TSTMRKT
7:30 DOORS/ 8:00 SHOW
$20 ADV

TSTMRKT presents "This Is Not A.I."
Man Vs. Robot Vs. Battery Life in a steel cage, "no holds barred" match to the bitter end. TSTMRKT (pronounced “Test Market”) is a performance art sketch comedy amalgamation held together with film loops, cut-n-paste theatre, and a relentless soundtrack. There is no “sound person” running the effects. It’s just a “start” button and a bag of nerves. Once the actor (me) hits “start” on the playback, the film collages and sound effects are triggered only by time. It’s the actor’s task to keep track of each second that passes, each syllable that is uttered, and each movement created in space. If anything is off, the entire thing falls apart. It’s a theatrical tightrope. It blends absurdist theatre, meta-fiction, standup, and sketch in an incredibly tight 60 minute performance. Hailing from Las Vegas, TSTMRKT has performed at the prestigious San Francisco Sketchfest, The Cleveland Ingenuity Festival, The Dallas Comedy Festival, The Hollywood Fringe Festival, Toronto Sketch Comedy Festival, and the Portland Sketch Comedy Festival.

THE DOUBLECLICKS
6:30 DOORS/ 7:00 SHOW
$30

The Doubleclicks return to The Siren Theater!
The Doubleclicks wrote silly songs about dinosaurs, Dungeons and Dragons, and Mr. Darcy. Silly. Light. Novelty! Their sibling harmonies and YouTube consistency led to a 10-year career of rocking Portland's smallest rooms from 2009-2019. Then... some things happened. Laser and Aubrey are back in Portland this November with the same songs—which, in retrospect, tell in detail Laser's story of being a closeted, undiagnosed autistic trans man, using pop culture and ukulele songwriting to cope with a challenging world. We can't wait to see you again, or for the first time! It'll be the same songs... with a few key changes. |
