Get Mortified at Someday Lounge on Nov 20th & 21st at 8:30pm

— John Bell @ 11:28 pm Perm Link Cosmos
Filed under: Events, Portland

Two nights, each only $10 or $12 at the door, at Someday Lounge on Nov 20th and 21st, it’s time again to get Mortified! And, it’s actually the two-year anniversary of the show, apparently.

Mortified is a comic excavation of the strange and extraordinary things we created as kids. Witness adults sharing their own adolescent journals, letters, poems, lyrics, home movies, stories and more.

After all, where else can you hear grown men and women confront their past with firsthand tales of their… first kiss, first puff, worst prom, fights with mom, life at bible camp, worst hand job, best mall job, and reasons they deserved to marry Jon Bon Jovi.

Apparently the theme of this new circus by Do Jump! is the memoirs of a cat. Interesting.

DO JUMP!’s new holiday show is based on the memoirs of Sunny Lu (a beautiful orange tabby). See the extraordinary human members of DO JUMP! create a one room feline circus. This show includes trampoline furniture, flying human cat toys and live music from rock and roll to classical performed by Klezmocracy. Artful athletic and hilarious, Sunny Lu and Tiger Lilly is great for audiences of all ages.
