About this event
Live Wire Radio is Portland’s own nationally syndicated radio variety show. If you haven’t been to a Live Wire show before, here’s what you’re in for: it’s a bold, sometimes unusual, sometimes-dangerous-but-always-delightful mix of music, conversation and comedy. With beer.
Join us at the next live show! Some of our guests will include:
Maz Jobrani
Maz is a standup comic and founding member of the Axis of Evil Comedy Tour. With two Showtime specials and a 3-million-hit TED Talk, he’s primed to stop being asked to play terrorists soon. For sure. His latest book is I’m Not a Terrorist, But I’ve Played One On TV.
Lindy West
Lindy is currently commenting and quipping on culture and social media for GQ.com and The Guardian and has recently appeared onThis American Life. Because she’s taken a strong stand against women getting harassed online, she gets harassed online a lot by men claiming women don’t get harassed online. It’s weird.
Ahamefule Oluo
A musician, writer and comic, Ahamefule Oluo made a huge splash at Seattle’s On the Boards with his “stand-up-big-band-autobiography,” Now I’m Fine, which Macklemore deemed his “favorite performance of 2014.” He also makes delicious scones.
MUSIC BY:
Lost Lander
Led by Matt Sheehy, Lost Lander’s music is haunting, atmospheric and a little lonely, like a late-night walk through an abandoned Tokyo street. Their newest album is Medallion.
