THINGS I HIDE FROM DAD

A multi-sensory storytelling show

Recommended 18+

A One-Man Show by Travis Abels

Award-winning storyteller and comedian Travis Abels brings you an unforgettable solo performance that’s as hilarious as it is heartfelt. In Things I Hide From Dad, Travis takes audiences on a deeply personal, and wildly entertaining,  journey through his childhood as a preacher’s son in a doomsday church, where even his thoughts about sex felt like they could end the world.

Told with wit, warmth, and immersive sound design (all triggered live on stage), this 75-minute rollercoaster of memory dives into growing up in a world where shame was sacred, rebellion was silent, and Kenny G was the soundtrack to everything.

Voted a Fringe Festival Favorite and hailed as a “multi-sensory masterclass,” Things I Hide From Dad combines stand-up, storytelling, and theater into a uniquely raw, funny, and moving experience. It’s a coming-of-age story for anyone who’s ever felt like the weird kid, the black sheep, or the one who just didn’t quite fit in.

Comedy Night at The Bingen

Queerly Beloved with Liz Glazer

Recommended 18+

At Queerly Beloved, laughter is loud, identities are proud, and everyone’s invited.

Liz Glazer, a law professor turned award-winning comedian, delivers smart, heartfelt comedy with a punch. Arlo Weierhauser brings their signature dry wit and lovable charm, while Brenden Creecy, Portland’s favorite sad boy, adds a dose of humor with heart. Hosting the evening is Rachelle Cochran, one of Willamette Week’s Funniest Five, ready to keep things running smoothly... and hilariously.

Think of it as group therapy, but funnier and with fewer boundaries.
