Funhouse Lounge is a venue and bar in southeast Portland, Oregon's Hosford-Abernethy neighborhood, in the United States.
Description and reception
The venue hosts comedy and theatre performances,[1] including "Comic Strip", a monthly event in which comedians strip during their stand-up routines.[2] Funhouse has also hosted productions of Reefer Madness and The Rocky Horror Show.[3][4] Thrillist contributor Amy Wolfenberger included Funhouse in her list of "The Best Theme Bars in Portland", in which she wrote:
"The Funhouse is a wonderland of improv theater, beer, shots (no cocktails), clowns, and a general sense of whimsy. On any given night, you can get anything from stand-up to improvised episodes of Deadwood ... to burlesque. It's kind of like that scene in Fear & Loathing, only with fewer trapeze-friendly wolverines and more grown-up theater kids. Oh, and it's situated just across Ladd's Addition from legendary comic shop Excalibur, just in case you wanted to incorporate more capes into your fandom for the evening."[5]
Funhouse Lounge earned second place in the "Best Comedy Club" category of Willamette Week's "Best of Portland Readers' Poll 2020".[6]
