Lexis Shardé

For one night only, join comedian Lexis Shardé as she records her very first comedy special. After more than a decade of performing across multiple markets, Lexis returns to one of Portland's most iconic venues, Kelly's Olympian, with the hour she's spent years developing. This performance is a fast-paced blend of stand-up, storytelling, multimedia, and musical comedy that's clever, relatable, and completely original. Lexis has appeared on CBS alongside Iliza Shlesinger, studied improv and sketch comedy at the legendary Upright Citizens Brigade in Los Angeles, and built a reputation for creating comedy experiences that leave audiences feeling like they're hanging out with a hilarious friend. But this show is different, it’s more than a collection of jokes. It’s a celebration of embracing the parts of ourselves we were once told to hide. It's funny, nostalgic, unexpectedly heartfelt, and the most personal show Lexis has ever written. Every story, every song, and every laugh has led to this moment. Whether you've followed Lexis for years or you're seeing her for the first time, you'll be part of a milestone she'll never forget. Your laughter will live on in the finished special. The evening will be hosted by the always hilarious Juan Denmark, with a special opening set from Cody Chasteen, making this a stacked night of Portland comedy from start to finish. Because this performance is being professionally filmed, audience members are encouraged to arrive early, settle in before showtime, and bring the energy. Every laugh counts. Come be part of comedy history.
