As our annual celebration of 4/20 rapidly approaches, please roll up and get ready for the incredible true story of how a small Northern California weed crew created an analog meme that grew into an international high holiday of cannabis liberation. But first, we check in with acclaimed journalist David Downs and Lance Lombard from Grove Bags about "weed week" in San Francisco, particularly the "Get to the Bag" art show, which chronicles the fascinating history and subversive artistry of the mylar bags that became industry-standard cannabis packaging for licensed brands and illicit operators alike starting about fifteen years ago. And speaking of 4/20, if you're in Portland on 4/19 please grab tickets to my live show The History of Weed, happening at Kickstand Comedy theater.

For the fourth year in a row, nonprofit theater Kickstand Comedy is hosting a series of free stand-up comedy nights in Portland’s Laurelhurst Park Friday evenings for the entire summer. The first outdoor event was held by necessity in the pandemic and began with a small crowd of less than 100 people. But word has spread, and as pandemic has subsided, crowds have grown and shows now typically draw around 3,000 or more. Since it began 10 years ago, the theater has offered a broad array of classes, including improv, sketch comedy and stand up. We’ll get a preview of the upcoming shows from Dylan Reiff, co-founder and artistic director of Kickstand Comedy and Julia Corral, a comic, teacher and one the co-hosts of the series.
Local comedian Ndem Nkem moved to town three years ago to escape Fresno, Calif. One big reason? Our fantastic vegan food scene. It also didn't hurt that our comedy scene is on an upward trajectory.

Catch Ndem live at Secret Aardvark at Kickstand Comedy and Talk of the Town at Curious Comedy Links: Vegan (and vegan option) restaurants discussed in today's episode: Sweet Hereafter Bye and Bye Boxcar Pizza Rollin Fresh Nicholas Paradox Cafe Dirty Lettuce Doe Donuts Who would you like to hear on City Cast Portland?

Every week comedian Yael Gavish talks with a comedian that has at some point been asked “Where Are You REALLY From?” Whether it's due to an accent, skin color, the outfit they are wearing or various other factors. Each conversation explores personal stories about travels, family life, cultural experiences and funny stories that have happened along the way. CHICAGO SPECIAL I had the pleasure to share a stage at the Chicago Sketch Festival of 2020 at the Stage773 with the beautiful, hilarious and sooo talented- Anne Zander!
