Hey! We're 19 Years Old! Now in our 20th Season!
We turned 19 in 2012, and we're still kicking.
ComedySportz Portland kicked off on April 2, 1993 with a private
show for the Oregon State Thespian Conference, then opened for real on
April 16, 1993, with our first public show. The opening night
lineup? Patrick Short, ref; Ruth Jenkins, Angela Schrock, Amy
Gray, John Dieffenderfer, John Breen, Dave Levesque, Carl Shoemaker and
Denise Howard. Jason Henderson was the sound tech and Mike Short was
our guest on keyboard. Kent McCarty, Ed Ferrero and Charles Brod
played in the second show. What might amaze you? Kent, Amy, Ruth, Angela,
John D and Patrick are still with our organization.
How cool is that?

Shakes in the Park
Our side group ShakesProv,
in partnership with Burgerville and Creature/Seattle, created a series
of faux "Shakespeare in the Parks" events in the Portland/Vancouver
area during September, 2005. The hour long "plays" were
accompanied by samples of Burgerville's Huckleberry Milkshakes, and the
crowds were entertained by all of the elements of the bard's work, plus
amusing product placements, like an "Alas, Poor Yorick" speech to a
consumed shake. We hope to see this project return to area parks soon. Best of all, it was FREE!
