black lodge
A comedy-show fundraiser
to help save a piece of Port-
land black history is coming
to North Mississippi Avenue
on Sunday, Dec. 6.
Comedians Curtis Cook,
Anthony Robinson, Jeremy
Eli, Alyssa Yeoman, and the
Real Hyjinx, along with mu-
sical guests Brannon Rock-
well-Charland and funk/soul
duo Free! Mason Jar, will
perform to the hopes of pre-
serving the St. Joseph Grand
Lodge of Freemasons, one of
the last black-owned corners
on the busy and quickly gen-
trifying street.
Nathan Brannon, a north-
west comedian who was
named Portland’s funniest
person at the Helium Comedy
Club in 2012 and the winner of
the Seattle International Com-
edy Competition in 2014, will
host the 7 p.m. show which is
being held at the lodge itself
at 3503 N. Mississippi Ave.
Tickets start at $15 and can be
purchased at eventbrite.com/e/
black-laughs-matter-tickets-
19534924485?aff=ebrowse.
The St. Joseph Grand
Lodge, which also serves as
the Mt. Olive Grand Chapter
of Eastern Stars, has served
the greater Portland com-
munity since the late 1960s.
This priceless piece of histo-
ry is under threat of shutting
its doors for good because of
a financial crisis that came to
a peak last year when it was
hit by thousands of dollars in
fines for building and property
code violations.
