Laugh out loud with local comics
ASTORIA — Local comics

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-

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).

Comedian Tyler Boeh
A night of stand-up
at Labor Temple
ASTORIA — Comedian
Tyler Boeh headlines this
month’s edition of “Cheap
Whiskey and Dirty Jokes”
at the Labor Temple Bar in
Astoria, 8 p.m. Friday, June
15. 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

10,000 Laughs comedy
festivals.
Cheap Whiskey and
Dirty Jokes happens every
third Friday at 8 p.m. at the
Labor Temple. The shows
contain adult content; they
are for people 21 and older.
