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.

Lindy West was born an unremarkable female baby in Seattle, Washington. The former Stranger writer covered movies, movie stars, exclamation points, lady stuff, large frightening fish, and much, much more....

  1. I love this:

    Christopher Hitchens fatly smears Gore Vidal and Hunter S. Thompson within one year? It seems that during his mercifully soon-to-be-abridged literary career, Christopher Hitchens has managed exclusively to stake out the wrong opinion on everything except atheism, which he gives a bad name through his sour bitchiness and snobbish warmongering.
