Just a friendly reminder that Patton Oswalt hits the Bridgetown Comedy Festival tonight. Dude sold out the Roseland last time he was here; the Mt Tabor mainstage is considerably smaller, so I’d suggest getting there early if you’re entertaining hopes of seeing the show. 10 pm, 4811 SE Hawthorne. Admission is by wristband only; they’re $20 (just for Patton—everything else is $9 show, or the wristband gets you into everything)

Other picks:

Seattle comic David Cope at the Mount Tabor Lounge. He opened for the Cody Rivers show when they came through town a few weeks back and I saw him again on Thursday; he is very funny. He’s performing in the 8:30pm-10 pm slot (which according to the website will be hosted by former Mercury news editor Phil Busse).

Brent Weinbach and the Famous Mysterious Actor Show Players will be at the Eagles Lodge; Eddie Pepitone, who is grouchy and hilarious, hits the Mt Tabor Mainstage at around midnight.

Hit the website above for the full schedule.

Also, as I learned on Thursday evening, it is very difficult to be a respectful audience member when you’re tanked. Moderate your drinking accordingly. (It’s also hard to take notes. The only legible quote in my notebook is: “You don’t have to open your wrists to see color.” I don’t remember who said it or in what context, but that’s an awesome line.)
