Free Comedy in the Park at Laurelhurst Park

 

 

Enjoy a free night of entertainment at Laurelhurst Park. Kickstand Comedy is hosting a special event called Comedy in the Park all summer long. 

 

Kickstand Comedy is a nonprofit theater organization known for its curated live comedy events. In 2022, it is bringing back its popular comedy show with some new additions to make the experience even better.

 

The venue for the summer comedy show is Laurelhurst Park,  one of Portland’s most popular parks for good reason. It’s close in—easy to get to from either side of the river—and has lots of outdoor amenities (think basketball court, horseshoe pits, off leash dog area and a pond). It is also a great place for a picnic.

 

Here are the details about 2022 Comedy in the Park.

Laurelhurst Park sets the stage for local and national comics on select Friday nights each month. The outdoor comedy series features stand up, character and immersive comedy.

 

The comedy show is located in the park’s concert grove. It can be easily accessed along Oak Street. Last year, this event attracted more than 300 people on some nights. To make a great experience for a larger audience, the Kickstand Comedy team is expanding the sound system more speakers and adding stage lights this year.

 

Due to the event’s vicinity to the off leash dog area, and Portland’s love of canine companions, this event has a lot of guests with their pups. If your dog could use a night out, bring them with you!

 

The free Comedy in the Park events take place at 6:30 p.m. Get there early to claim your spot on the grass, starting at 6 p.m. I recommend having dinner and a show al fresco with a picnic.

 

Free Comedy in the Park is on the first, third and fifth Fridays of the month from July through September. Here are the 2022 dates:

Laurelhurst Park is located at SE Cesar E Chavez Blvd and Stark St. in Portland. For more information, visit Kickstand Comedy’s website.
