MEET DAVID TVEITE (IT'S "TWIGHTY") 🎤✨

A lanky, perpetually embarrassed Minnesotan who's been thrilling audiences for over ten years with cleverly crafted stand-up that's absurd but incisive, cranky but whimsical, and cerebral but also very, very stupid.

Cheerful pessimist. Sharp offbeat writer. Featured in the Seattle Stranger and Washington Post. Competed on NBC's "Last Comic Standing." Performed at Bridgetown Comedy Festival, Laughing Skull, and Bumbershoot. Currently based in Portland.

People seem to like it for the most part.

COUPLET: "FOLK MARRY KILL" 🎸💕

The award-winning married comedy duo returns with a new hour about s*x, death, and folktales. "How often should a married couple folk?" "How long can forever actually last?" "Who would you kill: Kermit, Paddington, or Tony Hawk?"

With guitar and fiddle, Marnina & Micah tell impossibly true stories from a decade of monogamy—British sleep hypnotists, therapy workbooks, Uber drivers obsessed with zip ties. Weird, funny, charming, and exactly what you need.

Directed by Katie Lindsay.

"Impossibly unique cocktail of talented, funny, and charming!" - Sam Reich (Dropout TV)

BETH STELLING HEADLINES SATURDAY NIGHT🎤✨

Netflix. HBO Max. Jimmy Kimmel Live! Writer for Judd Apatow's Crashing. Two specials. Two comedy albums. And now she's headlining the Angus Bowmer Theatre.

Beth Stelling transforms personal, uncomfortable experiences into laugh-out-loud moments—confessional, sharp, disarmingly honest. She earns the laugh AND the feeling at the same time. A rare thing.

Opening the night: Eeland Stribling (the "Black Steve Irwin" who takes comedians fly-fishing). Hosting: Jay Light (festival favorite returning to Ashland).

This is the Saturday night lineup that may be impossible to top.

THE HAMAZONS: "SCI-FI: THE B MOVIES" 🛸✨

The "Warrior Princesses of Improv" are bringing the chaos—and it's completely unscripted.

Cil Stengel, Eve Smyth, and Kyndra Laughery create full-length improvised stories with smart, character-driven long-form improv. Quick wit. Genuine connection. Fearless play.

Saturday night? They're taking you back to 1950s sci-fi B movies. The Day the Earth Stood Still. Invasion of the Body Snatchers. The Blob. Expect colossal mutations, extraterrestrial beings, and a story that's never the same twice.

This is improv with heart, humor, and a hive mind that works.
