- GO.
Comedian James Adomian is at Balagan Theater (1117 E Pike) tonight at 8 pm. Adomian is totally brilliant—he’s known for his impressions (of, for example, George W. Bush), but he’s way more than a mimic. His stand-up is smart, layered, and slightly alarming, and his impersonations take characters we think we know in unexpected and subversive directions.
Adomian headlined Laff Hole a while back and blew everyone’s mind up. You should go tonight.
Also on the bill: Solomon Georgio, Derek Sheen, and Mike Drucker.
And here’s a clip of Adomian as drunk Orson Welles, which I must insist you watch. (It’s a parody—or really more like a reenactment—of this, which you must also watch. Thank you for your cooperation.)
Update: Here’s a neat little article that the Portland Mercury wrote about Adomian last week.


I love this:

I love James Adomian on Comedy Death Ray.
The guy’s a genius and I wish I could make this tonight
Great Orson Welles, almos’ as good as the original.
Okay, that clip was funny.
Good clip. John Candy also did a good Orson Wells on SCTV’s Liberace’s Christmas Special….
#2 said what I was going to.
Ah! That made me laugh so hard when he grabbed at the food and yelled at them to leave his food alone!! That was great.
