For a couple years now Nick Thune and I have had a few mutual friends, and we finally ran into each other in LA last week. I found Nick to be seriously funny. We talked a bit about comedy and he shared some great stories from his career, including his first appearance on the Tonight show, in which an AIDS awareness commercial aired right before he came on. I’ve thought for a long time performing comedy is one of the hardest things you can do, and even harder to do well. And yet Nick makes it look easy. Turns out he is in Portland this weekend for The Bridgetown Comedy Festival, including a show at The Baghdad theater on Friday night. I’ll be catching the Saturday show at Mt. Tabor because I’ll have come into town that day, otherwise I’d be at all three of his shows. All that to say, check out Nick Thune if he comes to your town.
