Portland’s comedy scene has been growing by leaps and bounds over the past few years, with local standups finding success in LA (Ian Karmel, Ron Funches); the nationally recognized ‘Bridgetown Comedy Festival’; and the more-accurate-than-we-would-like-to-admit ‘Portlandia’. The Stumptown Improv Festival is proud to be part of this comedy explosion by showcasing the smart, original, and always fresh world of improvisational comedy.
The Stumptown Improv Festival’s debut in 2014 was a major success. We attracted some of the most well-regarded improv groups performing today from LA, San Franscisco, Vancouver, BC, Minneapolis, and, of course, Portland. Performers who are vets on the festival scene raved that “this is one of the best festivals we’ve ever been a part of”. The audiences agreed as well. Both of our Friday night shows sold out and, as the buzz increased, both Saturday night shows were sold out hours before we opened the doors.
Will we make magic again in 2015? Short answer: yes. Long answer: yessssssssss. We’ve got some of the best groups in the country traipsing out here (yes, we said “traipsing”) and are offering more showtimes to accommodate the throngs (yes, we said “throngs”). We’re also introducing a brand-new “Three-Show Pass” so you can a la carte this festival. And have you seen the Portland improv scene lately? Get ready for some hot ‘n’ fresh talent from our fair city. SUMMER IS HERE.
A shout-out to festival co-founders Leon Anderson, Jed Arkley, and Erin Jean O’Regan. Three times as sweet, three times as sassy.

US, 1947
The last of the six classic THIN MAN films pairs William Powell as Nick Charles—the nattiest ex-cop you’ll ever meet—and the inimitable Myrna Loy as Nora, his wry urbane socialite wife. The story begins with a murder on a yacht and leads the crime-fighting couple through Manhattan jazz clubs offering them plenty of cocktails and hep-cat lingo along the way. Sure, a few people get murdered, but it’s all so very stylish and civilized. (86 mins.)
PDX Pop Now! presents live music from Malachi Graham at 8pm

UK/SPAIN, 2000
Famed music video director (Radiohead, Blur) Jonathan Glazer’s first feature updates the classic heist film with equal doses of sharp comedy and chilling menace. Gal (Ray Winstone), a London gangster retired to the south of Spain with his porn star wife and pool boy, is reluctantly pulled back into a life of crime by his old mentor, Don Logan (Ben Kingsley), a frighteningly and hilariously unhinged maniac. “Spouting profanity, staring daggers at any perceived enemy, and talking nuts to himself in a mirror like De Niro in a Cockney TAXI DRIVER, Kingsley creates an unforgettable monster.”—Rolling Stone. (89 mins.)
Featuring XRAY DJs Aaron and Cheyenne from Reverse Couples Skate

at 8 pm
ITALY/FRANCE, 1965
“Petri’s black comedy imagines the hunting of humans as a government-sanctioned, globally televised sport, a gladiatorial combat meant to relieve tension and settle conflicts in an otherwise anesthetized world devoted to mindless consumption. THE 10TH VICTIM amusingly remains a classic ‘commedia all’italiana’ of the 1960s, with Marcello Mastroianni in his archetypical role as the castrated Casanova struggling to maintain his inbred macho poise as he is assaulted not only by Ursula Andress’s gun-toting Amazon, but by a mercenary wife (Luce Bonifassy) and an impatient mistress (Elsa Martinelli), who have joined forces against him.”—The New York Times. (92 mins.)
Featuring XRAY DJs DDDJJJ666 from Hipsters Suck and Magnolia Bouvier from Vampirella in Iridescent Teal

SPAIN, 1988
The film that made the director an international cinema icon, WOMEN—in typical Almodóvar style—weaves an array of colorful characters into a single, manic-depressive symphony. Carmen Maura highlights as the heroine Pepa, a TV star heartbroken by her lover Ivan (Fernando Guillén), and desperate to find her bearings. “Gorging on the bad, bad world of TV soap operas, tabloid news, and those Roy Lichtenstein cartoons where anguished women lament their lives with ‘Brad’, Almodovar gets a wonderful rise out of life’s lows.”—Washington Post. (90 mins.)
Featuring XRAY DJ Serious Moonlight from Intuitive Navigation

US, 1979
When Principal Togar tries to confiscate ex-cheerleader and aspiring songwriter Riff Randall’s (P.J. Soles) ticket to the upcoming Ramones concert and burn their records, the students enlist the Ramones in a punk-style coup. With rollicking performances by the Ramones and a wall-to-wall soundtrack that includes Chuck Berry, Devo, Alice Cooper, Fleetwood Mack, Nick Lowe, and more, B-movie master Roger Corman’s spoof of 50’s musicals and ode to personal freedom still rocks. (93 mins.)
PDX Pop Now! presents live music from The Bugs at 8pm

US, 1951
Tennis pro Guy Haines is in a bad marriage when he’s approached by a perfect stranger, Bruno (Robert Walker), who idly contemplates the perfect murder. Bruno speculates that if he gets Guy’s wife out of the way, then Guy could take care of Bruno’s untenable father and each could have an alibi for the murder they’d be suspected of and no discernable motive for the crime they committed. “Bruno’s manner is pushy and insinuating, with homoerotic undertones . . . not a psychological study, however, but a first-rate thriller with odd little kinks now and then.”—Roger Ebert. (101 mins.)
Featuring XRAY DJ Eldorado from Ballin' the Jack

UK, 1983
With something to offend most any sensibility, the comedy troupe of Monty Python offers this comprehensive and nonsensical guide to life—from birth to death. Filled with uproariously funny sketches and songs, the film is a grab bag of outrageous contemplations of the absurdity of life where everything is over the top and nothing is sacred ...well, perhaps one thing. (107 mins.)
PDX Pop Now! presents live music from Ah God at 8pm

Red Bull Flugtag challenges the brave and brainy to design, build and pilot home-made flying machines off a 28-foot-high flight deck in hopes of soaring into the wild blue yonder…or more often, plunging into the waters below. Flugtag, which means “flying day” in German, pushes the envelope of human-powered flight, but competitors need more than airtime to reach the podium. Teams are judged on three criteria: flight distance, creativity of the craft, and showmanship. This criteria has inspired flying tacos, prehistoric pterodactyls, winnebagos with wings and even Snoopy and the gang to grace the Flugtag flight decks! Since the first Red Bull Flugtag took place in Vienna, Austria, in 1992, more than 100 Red Bull Flugtags have been held around the globe, attracting up to 300,000 spectators for a single event.

What the heck is THE BIG FLOAT?
The Big Float V will take place on the afternoon of Sunday, July 26, 2015 on the Willamette River in downtown Portland. The goal, quite simply, is to encourage people to “get into the river” and support its preservation and healthy development as a recreational resource. And to have a whale of a good time in the process.
Open to all ages, the event begins with, naturally, a parade. Floaters gather at Tom McCall Bowl (where the Blues Festival is held), then carry or wear their floatation devices and march south along Waterfront Park to the put-in point at "Poet's Beach" beneath the Marquam Bridge.
Floaters will paddle down river and land on the west bank at the Tom McCall Bowl. Here, Portland's downtown beach party will be held - complete with music barge and live bands, food carts, beer/wine garden, sponsor booths, and a kids' activities area.
This newly created beach area, open for public swimming, was formed by TBF volunteers as part of the Human Access Project.
Join The Benefits of Gusbandry on the fabulous rooftop of Revolution Hall for a stunning view of the sunset, a chance to meet your new Gusband or Swife* and to rally support for the last few days of our Seed&Spark crowd funding campaign!

The performance will be held in downtown Portland on Main Street, between southwest Broadway & Park Ave., next to Arlene Schnitzer Concert Hall.
Under the direction of Suzanne Kenney, Pendulum has been an innovator in both aerial performance and education in the United States, mixing dance, acrobatics, theatre and storytelling with contemporary circus arts. Pendulum’s productions create a stunning visual journey for audiences that break the barriers of traditional art forms and fuse mixed genres while weaving artistically compelling stories that inspire and entertain audiences and performers alike. Today, motivated by a passion for telling stories and inspiring youth, the company collaborates with cross-disciplinary performers to create new works ranging from vaudeville style entertainment to narrative-driven contemporary productions. Visually stunning and emotionally moving, Pendulum’s work is a window into strength, beauty, joy, and the desire to take risks. The company has created twenty original productions, most notably Crimson Cabaret, Around Midnight and High Art, its current touring production. Pendulum embarked on its first national tour during the 2011-12 season. http://pendulumaerialarts.org/
