Bridgetown Comedy Festival has announced its 2015 lineup.
The big names include Jonathan Katz, the namesake of the early Comedy Central cult favorite Dr. Katz: Professional Therapist, and Daily Show correspondent Jessica Williams, Twitter's favorite choice to replace Jon Stewart.
Former Last Comic Standing judge Andy Kindler, Simpsons writer Dana Gould, Neil Hamburger and return headliner Janeane Garofalo are also among the national highlights.
Three finalists from Willamette Week's 2014 Funniest 5 pollâSean Jordan, Curtis Cook and Steven Wilberâgot in, too, along with two of of the previous years' finalists, Amy Miller and Bri Pruett. Other notable locals include Anthony Lopez, who co-hosts Kickstand's weekly Earthquake Hurricane show; Caitlin Weierhauser of Lez Standup and All Jane No Dick; David Mascorro; Zak Toscani; Shane Torres, who left Portland for New York last year; and, of course, Ian Karmel.
The schedule and venues haven't been released yet, but you can expect the Doug Fir, Revolution Hall, Boogie's Burgers etc. to be crowded May 7-10 with an influx of 200-comics, including 60 Bridgetown virgins, and plenty of bourbon and burritos.
