Follies is Portland's only physical comedy showcase. Created and hosted by International Italian performer Stefano Iaboni, whose influences include Andy Kaufman and Monty Python. Follies says "ciao" to traditional stand-up and improv and instead highlights the richly diverse, artistic and hilarious world of physical comedy, variety and sketch comedy.
Expect to see Stefano performing alongside a fresh line-up of talent each month as "Follies" brings together a wide range of local and imported artistic talent every fourth Saturday of the month.
