Need a laugh? We've got a great line-up of professional comedians ready to deliver!

ADAM PASI is a stand up comedian from Portland, Oregon. Having been a northwest staple for years, he’s recently started to gain more notoriety with a set on Don’t Tell Comedy, as well as an episode of the PBS series Roots of Comedy. Often intense, but never taking himself too seriously, Adam enjoys bringing (sometimes dragging) others along as he picks apart the silliness of his own life and the world in which he lives.

Opening for heavyweights like Jimmy Shin, Kyle Kinane, and Ahmed Ahmed, KYLE ADAMS's comedic journey is as diverse as his hometown roots.

With a unique blend of relatable goofiness and intelligent wit, Kyle effortlessly connects with audiences. Life's hardships have molded his perspective, but Kyle keeps it light, offering an optimistic outlook that resonates with everyone.

Road-testing his set all over the west coast, Kyle Adams is becoming a household name in the Pacific Northwest comedy scene.

LIAM GIBLER is a stand-up comedian and improviser. In Bend he has won 4 comedy competitions; Central Oregon’s Improv Grand Prix, Beertown comedy’s ‘So you think you’ve got Jokes’ (2x) and in February, CraveBend’s Shameless Storytelling series. In 2025 he was also a semi-finalist in Portland’s Funniest and recently won Double Entendre by Lexy’s Comedy Club in Eugene. On April 1st he performed 30 minutes of stand-up at a sold out Tower Theatre for The Bluebird Improv.

Liam has also performed at the Domino Room in Bend for Matt Braunger, at the Infinity Room in Salem for Luke Null, and at The Granada Theatre in The Dalles for John Caparulo. He has hosted events for Don’t Tell Comedy and Next Stop in Bend. Liam’s life was featured in a documentary episode of the Podcast Journalistika. He was a Finalist in the 2026 Vancouver’s Funniest comedy competition.

ALEX DISNEY (host) is a stand-up comedian, improviser, and member of Portland’s premier drag king boy band ###Y. A finalist in the 2025 Portland Comedy Pageant, she has been doing stand-up comedy since she was 3-years-old in an effort to get her parents to pay attention to her once her baby brother was born. When not onstage, she’s hanging with her dog Monty and watching reality TV shows on Peacock.

Tall Poppy String Band is taking the stage at the LaJoie Theatre on August 7 and bringing traditional old time tunes and original music with them!

They’re an old time trio that draws from the deep well of American string band music. They approach tradition with playful curiosity; each performance more a discussion than a statement. Whether they’re chasing the elusive downbeat of a source recording, playing with the pronouns in a bluegrass standard, or challenging the assumed roles of their instruments, Tall Poppy String Band endeavors to prove that tradition is still being written.

Featuring: Cameron DeWitt, George Jackson, and Morgan Harris
