7DS The Absolute Worst, Best & Weirdest Show: BOO!
It's an open-mic audience vs. three curated
performers as host Meg Ferrill and 7 Deadly Sins present a collection of
Portland's top comedians, writers, artists, radio personalities, and other
assorted raconteurs ramp up the Halloween spirit and tell the their own
absolute true worst, best or weirdest scary stories alongside
people form the audience - maybe even you.
And yours can be anything you've
experienced that's scary. Maybe it's a ghost story! Or maybe it's a
story about when you faced your greatest fear. Or the first time you ever asked
someone out on a date. Or went skydiving. Or started to wonder if the
hitchhiker you'd just picked up was a serial killer. Or maybe it's about a time
when you absolutely scared the pasts off of someone else.
Whoever everyone decides had the worst,
best, or weirdest scary story - be it performer or audience
member - will have a chance to win one of the absolute best or absolute worst
prizes ever awarded on stage.
We'll also give away prizes for the best
answer to our Absolute Worst Question Of The Night, the evening's Best
Audience Member, and whoever comes in the best or weirdest costume. Plus
other prizes that we'll probably just make up as we go!
Also, we may ask everyone to howl at the
moon. Or we may not. (We'll see.)
