Welcome to Paraoke Comedy Showcase—Portland’s one-of-a-kind comedy experience where amazing local comedians step outside of their normal antics, write an original parody, AND perform for your votes! Each performer takes a well-known song, rewrites the lyrics with their own hilarious twist, and belts it out LIVE on stage. Think karaoke, but with insane original lyrics, high-energy performances, and all the chaotic fun you’ve come to love at Curious Comedy Theater!

Hosted by Chad Alan Gemma and Joseph Crumb, Paraoke is part stand-up, part concert, and fully ridiculous! You’ll never hear your favorite songs the same way again.

Whether you’re a comedy fan, a karaoke lover, or want to see the best local comedians absolutely commit to a bit, Paraoke is your new favorite night out!
