During the comedic whirlwind of the Bridgetown Comedy Festival in Portland, Oregon, we had the chance to take a break from the entertainment onslaught and hang out with stand-up comedian and performer, Joe Sib. The Los Angeles-based renaissance man could not be any more amiable as we shot the breeze for the better part of an hour. As an entertainer and creator, Joe [...]

(Previously: PART 1) PART 2 Round 2 of our comedy escapade found us heading to Eagles Lodge for its charming/nostalgic/creepy portrait wall of past Eagles’ presidents (+their first ladies) and their ice-cold PBRs. Oh yeah, and there was some live entertainment to be had in the name of COMEDY. We caught Tone Bell who had a chuckle-inducing bit about not giving a shit [...]

This was The Superslice’s first year covering the Bridgetown Comedy Festival and I can say I have never laughed so hard in my lifetime; no hyperbole there as we were left in a puddle of tears. At times, we were crying like hyenas. I was exhausted from the perpetual stream of laughter. In my humble opinion, on the scale of instant/sustained gratification: Bridgetown > [...]

Karen Kilgariff has been involved in comedy since the mid ’90s, although, she traces her stand up beginnings back to the 6th grade, where she crushed with her killer Facts of Life impersonation.

In Louis C.K.‘s latest HBO special Oh My God, there’s a funny observational bit where he tells of attending his young daughter’s dance recital. He notices that every single doting parent, instead of just purely watching their children perform, watched through the filters of their camera phones. The moms and dads were obstructing their own vision of their child with their phones, [...]
