If you were sad when you learned that some of Hari Kondabolu's triumphant three-night run of shows this week at the Triple Door had sold out, dry your eyes. The venue has added late shows tonight and tomorrow night at 10pm. That's in addition to the 7:30pm shows. Two shows a night. Show business. Tonight's 7:30 show is already sold out. HOWEVER: There are still tickets for tonight at 10pm, Wednesday at 7:30, and Wednesday at 10. (Also, while you're there, you might want to try the green beans from Wild Ginger. They are super dope.) In the meantime, you might want to check out this profile from Portland Mercury contributor Emilly Prado:

“When it comes to comedy, you hope for an open mind.... The second you put a label on, there are a bunch of people that aren’t interested anymore,” he says. “They don’t even know what they’re not interested in—they’re not interested in an image they have in their head.” Yet the minute you remove that label, Kondabolu swears they’ll laugh. If a joke is funny, he says, it should be able to stand alone.

“I like talking about people’s issues whether it’s racism, sexism, homophobia, or religion,” he says. “Whatever people hold close or have to deal with is interesting and that’s not political to me—that’s people’s lives.”
