Minority Retort, Portland's premier stand-up comedy showcase featuring comedians of color, is proud to welcome comedian Nathan Brannon to the Hollywood Theatre stage!
Portland native Nathan Brannon was a stalwart on the city’s thriving comedy scene before recently relocating to LA and touring nationally. In 2016, Nathan recorded his second album, “Because,” with the distinguished record label Kill Rock Stars. Nathan was also the winner of the Seattle International Comedy Competition in 2014, voted into the Willamette Week’s “Portland’s Funniest 5” in 2013 while releasing his first comedy album "I Black Out" that same year, and was crowned “Portland’s Funniest Person” in 2012. He has been featured in publications and programs such as NPR’s “Weekend Edition,” Fox’s “Laughs,” NBC, The Los Angeles Times, and The Guardian. Nathan has also opened for national headliners such as Dave Chappelle, Damon Wayans, and Maria Bamford and is the creator and host of The Hamster Village, a podcast about interracial relationships.
This special edition of Minority Retort also will feature some of the NW's favorite comedians: Thomas Lundy, Mona Concepcion, and Wilfred Padua. Hosted by Jason Lamb, Julia Ramos, and Neeraj Srinivasan.
No passes will be accepted for this event.
