Minority Retort with Roxxy Haze
Recommended
In an interview I conducted with Central Comedy Show co-host Isaac Novak, he observed that most comedy bills in Seattle still consist of about 80-percent white males. One imagines that is also the case in Portland—or perhaps it’s even greater, seeing as the Rose City’s population has a higher Caucasian percentage than the Emerald City’s. With this statistic in mind, Portland-based stand-up comedy event Minority Retort offers a platform to redress this imbalance by championing comics of color. This edition will feature Roxxy Haze, Samantha Rund, Mitch Mitchell, Bernice Ye, and Monisa Brown, plus host Julia Ramos.
