Stand up comedy clubs in PDX

Hey Portlanders,

I've never visited this area of the forum before so I hope Im doing it right and don't step on any toes first off.

I'm headed from Sunny Phx to Rainy PDX from April 22nd- 28th to visit some friends and watch the Suns play the Blazers at the Rose Garden. I do stand up comedy, which you can see here. Im hoping to get on stage at a few places on at least 2 of the nights Im in town to help get my name out there, build connections, yadda yadda.

I found a place called the Curious Comedy Club online that seems to have an open mic night on Sunday, but when I tried emailing their listed email it got kicked back to me. So Ill give them an actual call tomorrow. I also found a place called Harveys, but it looks like it might be the "A" room in town, and Im not sure how interested they'd be in a small time out of town nobody in doing 5-10 minutes at the front of their show.

Anyhow, if anyone can at all point me in any kind of direction it would be most appreciated. Im also up for doing just bars that have comedy one night a week, we have a lot of those here in PHX, not sure about PDX.

I don't really go to comedy clubs, but I've been to Harveys. I'd guess it would be the main club.

Possibly this place? http://www.portlandcomedy.com/

GO BLAZERS!

^Thanks I looked at that one already, it looks to be an Improv type place. Generally any place with words like 'sports' or 'olympics' in it is an Improv place. I think its to make the Improvers feel good about being picked last for kick ball.
