JUNE 14, 2018 // 7 Laugh out loud with local comics ASTORIA — Local comics take the stage at the Labor Temple Bar in a free show hosted by co-owner Terry Robinett, 7 p.m. Thursday, June 21. This show is for peo- ple 21 and older; no cover. The show features Public Emily, Brian Lee, Chad Alan Gemma and Pete Birdeno. “There’s a lot of great talent around here who have something to say,” Robinett said. “The inside, local jokes are the best.” Robinett has been book- ing events for the Labor Temple Bar since she and her husband, Todd, purchased the iconic location in January 2018. Each month, they host “Cheap Whiskey and Dirty Jokes” featuring profession- FILE PHOTO Terry Robinett, co-owner of Labor Temple Bar al comics from around the Northwest. Robinett started reaching out to aspiring locals to open for CWDJ and decided they were worthy of a night of their own. “I’ve been asked a lot for events that start earlier in the night, so folks who go to bed early can still get out and enjoy a show,” Robinett said. “In response, I’m adding early shows to Thursdays featuring solo acts, singer-songwriters and one designated night a month for local comics.” Other weeks feature sing- er-songwriters Lucy Barna (Thursday, June 14) and Don Morrisroe (Thursday, June 28).

The cover is $5. Host Gideon For-Muk- wai of Seaside and Jake Silberman are also fea- tured, along with surprise guests. Boeh started his stand- up career in his hometown of Portland, but after plac- ing in the finals of comedy competitions in Seattle, San Francisco, Boston and at the World Series of Comedy in Las Vegas, Boeh made his way to Los Angeles. Within a year of his move to Hollywood, he had established himself at the top comedy clubs, complet- ed work on two television pilots, and Boeh’s debut comedy album, “Carpool Companion,” was chosen as LaughSpin Magazine’s album of 2012. In 2015, Boeh held his Comedian Jake Silberman own with Craig Fergus- son on his new show, “Celebrity Name Game,” was featured in numer- ous BuzzFeed videos and appeared in three episodes of “Laughs” on Fox. The year 2016 culminated with a college tour that took him to nearly 40 campuses across the country and a return visit for the third season of “Laughs.” Boeh’s second album, “Full Circle,” was selected in January as the SiruisXM 98 artist of the month. Feb- ruary brought the release of his Dry Bar comedy special “Wait for It.” Silberman is a Port- land-based stand-up who might best be described as a “hopeful misanthrope.” He was a finalist in the 2017 Portland’s Funni- est Person Contest, is a regular host and feature at Helium comedy club and has opened for Norm Macdonald, Kyle Kinane, Joey Diaz and many more. Jake has performed on the Cape Fear, Cream City and 10,000 Laughs comedy festivals. Cheap Whiskey and Dirty Jokes happens every third Friday at 8 p.m. at the Labor Temple.
