Pickathon is excited to announce its 2024 Comedy Lineup, expertly curated by the legendary Amy Miller. Taking place on Friday, August 2nd, and Saturday, August 3rd evenings at the festival’s Lucky Barn, these stand-up comedy nights are a celebrated Pickathon tradition, spotlighting some of the best rising comedians. Previous years have seen stars like Kyle Kinane, Ian Karmel, and Amy Miller herself grace the stage, contributing to the experiential atmosphere that defines evenings at Pickathon!
This year’s Comedy Lineup is packed with comedic firepower—each one funnier than the last. If you don’t laugh until your sides hurt, well, you might just be a robot! Get ready for a weekend of gut-busting, tear-inducing hilarity!
Amy Miller, who has been an integral part of shaping Pickathon’s comedy programming, takes the reins this year to assemble an impressive roster of talent, including Lisa Chanoux, Adam Pasi, Imani Denae, and Tom Thakkar. Each comedian will bring their unique flair to the stage, promising lots of laughter and entertainment. Amy is a nationally touring festival and comedy club headliner who has performed at most major comedy festivals in this country, and guested on many podcasts beloved in Oregon, including Doug Loves Movies and All Fantasy Everything. She has two half hour comedy specials – on Comedy Central and Epix – and has also been a featured comedian on Last Comic Standing, After Midnight with Taylor Tomlinson, and Viceland.

“Pickathon is just about the only festival my nervous system can take anymore and I’m excited to be back curating the comedy lineup after a brief hiatus. Our special guests – Tom Thakkar and Lisa Chanoux – are two of the funniest comedians and humans I know and I can’t wait to show them around the beautiful Pendarvis Farm.”

Comedian Spotlight:
Adam Pasi
Adam Pasi is a stand up comedian from Portland, Oregon. Having been a northwest staple for years, he’s recently started to gain more notoriety with a set on Don’t Tell Comedy, as well as an episode of the newly released PBS series Roots of Comedy. Often intense, but never taking himself too seriously, Adam enjoys bringing (sometimes dragging) others along as he picks apart the absurdity of his own life and the world in which he lives.
