Downtown Public Speakers
Comedian Susan Rice got her comedy-feet wet performing
at the Leaky Roof in Portland in 1983. The ’80s were kind to
stand up comics, and Rice decided early on to take a stab at
a career in comedy. After more than 30 years doing stand up,
the seasoned comic is only getting funnier. A recent profile
piece in Willamette Week describes Rice as a beloved fixture of
Portland's growing comedy scene, who supports young talent
and is revered by many performers as one of the city’s funniest
people. She headlines Comedians Gone Wildish, sharing the
stage with funnymen Frank King and Randy Mendez, Friday at
the Richard E. Wildish Theater in Springfield. Rice’s self-effacing
style is good for catching audiences by surprise. She lands
joke after joke the way some boxers rely on a jab to soften an
opponent and set up killer combinations. You're never laughing
at just one of Rice's punchlines; you're reeling from a long series
of deftly delivered corkers.
Comedians Gone Wildish begins 7pm Friday, June 17, at the
Wildish Theater, 630 Main St., Spfd.; $25.
