Whitney Streed write-up on Feb 18th Event

Portland stand-up comedian Whitney Streed has a kind of mini essay on her blog about the upcoming event on Feb 18th. The essay is her inspiration and motivation on putting an event together that combine Stand-Up Comedy, Burlesque performance, and Bizarro Fiction. I personally think the combination is a great idea and I’m very excited to be taking part in the event.
