They say that laughter is the best medicine. An absurd cliché, of course, because it’s diffi cult to imagine a situation in which one’s life, health or livelihood depends solely upon laughter. Well, here’s one: for four comedians this week, a distinct lack of laughter will get them sent home in disgrace at the fi nal round of Oregon’s Last Comedian Standing. Comics Steven Kirby, Will Woodruff, Todd Armstrong and Dan Paul are all that remain from an original lineup of 30 — a number that has thinned via elimination rounds since early March. Four remain; three must fl op. It’s a game of comedy thrones, and there’s no telling who will take the top seat. Spoiler alert: one of the contestants has dragon’s blood fl owing in his veins. Oregon’s Last Comedian Standing starts 8pm Saturday, April 20, at The City Nightclub; $10.
