Family Friendly Jugglemania!
Like a Pixar movie, JuggleMania appeals to all ages with non-stop “hilarity & dexterity.” Juggler enough to compete at international street performer festivals and comedian enough to headline on cruise ships, performer Rhys Thomas brings a rare blend of serious skills and silly shenanigans.
The Raymond Carver Writing Festival takes place annually in Clatskanie, Oregon, the birthplace of Raymond Carver. This year’s theme is “Where I’m Calling From,” taken from the title of one of Carver’s short stories, and meant to be open to creative interpretation.
All efforts have been made to keep events free and open to the public, thanks to the contributions of organizations, businesses, and a volunteer committee of organizers. The festival is held at venues downtown Clatskanie, in walking distance from one another and from centrally located lodging.
The unique #1 Billboard charting pop/jazz performer, has appeared at venues from Lincoln Center to the Hollywood Bowl. His show 'A Night Out With Sinatra" will feature some of Frank Sinatras most beloved songs, all interpreted by a singer and songwriter who has been called “One of the most beautiful singing voices around today” – by Time out New York and New York Public Radio/WNYC’s American Standards.
Will Martin tickets will be honored for this performance.
This 7-piece group is the longest running Carpenters tribute band and has been performing for the past 14 years in the US and Internationally. We are very fortunate to have them perform in Clatskanie as a filler for their performances in larger cities in the Pacific NW

Renowned Australian storyteller JON BENNETT tells the amazingly sordid and bizarre story of his brother’s life. A sometimes shocking and chaotic tale, Bennett recounts his brother’s experiences with both charismatic hilarity and heart-warming, poignant reflection.
Fire in the Meth Lab tells of drug dealers, bikers, high-speed car chases, fights, crime, prison, vomit, exploding houses and even cancer. The show explores brotherly relationships and how siblings with the same upbringing can choose very separate paths.
Jon Bennett sets the gold standard in storytelling. This show is powerful, brutally honest, and drenched in the rich humour of pathos. This is unlike any other show you’ll find at the festival. Get your hit of raw and real comedy. This is my pick of the festival so far.” – Heckler (AUS)

Maggie has performed stand up at comedy festivals such as Just for Laughs, Bridgetown, and SF Sketchfest. She has opened for Maria Bamford, Hannibal Buress, Gladys Knight, and Earth, Wind and Fire. She’s been named in Huffington Post, Variety, LaughSpin, the New York Times, Splitsider and was named 2016’s Best of Austin Stand up Comic by the Austin Chronicle.
Maggie's comedy is described in the same way she is: sassy, charming, and smart. Also, a 6-year-old once told her she was the funniest person ever. And kids rarely lie.
SETH ALLEN is a comedian who’s been selected to perform at festivals including Pickathon, Treefort, and SF Sketchfest. He was name one of Portland’s Funniest 5 by Willamette Week and co-hosts the hit cheek-clapping rate and review podcast ASSVILLE. His wife has described his comedy as “like a Labrador that thinks it’s people.”
Headliner Tyler Boeh will be joined on stage by Dianna Potter, Thomas Lundy ,and host Dot Geary.
TYLER BOEH’S quick wit, and award-winning “beat-boxing” talent bring audiences to hysterical heights. Tyler has appeared on “NESN Comedy All-Stars”, “Celebrity Name Game”, and two seasons of “Laughs on Fox”. In 2018 Tyler released his second album, “Full Circle” which was selected as the SiriusXM 98 Arist of the Month and debuted at #2 on the Billboard Comedy Charts. His recent Dry Bar Comedy special “Wait for it” has received over 25 million views online. You can catch his comedy on Sirius XM Radio, Pandora, Amazon, and many other platforms online, but you don’t want to miss the chance to see Tyler perform live in the intimate Birkenfeld Theater.
DIANNA POTTER started doing stand-up shortly after celebrating her 60th birthday and hasn’t had time to look back. Audiences can’t resist her unique views of sex, drugs, and crime in the late 70’s; some unintentional incarceration in the 80’s; and more destruction into the 90’s. Dianna cleaned it all up by getting sober in 2000. In 2019 Portland Mercury chose Dianna as one of theUndisputable Geniuses of Comedy, and she took First Place in the 2021 Western Oregon Comedy Competition. Recently, Dianna retired after 20 years of flipping blizzards at Dairy Queen.
Is THOMAS LUNDY the smartest dumb guy you know, or the dumbest smart guy? Thomas’ comedy is a captivating blend of hilariously relatable anecdotes and finding the comedy in the small parts of the life that make us laugh. He can be lighthearted and charming in one breath, then thought provoking and witty in the next. He’s a a Philadelphia-born Florida boy who moved to Oregon on a bus to be a comedian, so he’s bound to have some stories.
After over 50 years in education, DOROTHY "DOT" GEARY started stand-up comedy, and then at 80, she formed D&D Comedy Productions. Currently, Dot produces and hosts comedy shows in five small town theaters outside of Portland. Audiences laugh a lot at her comedy, but is that because she is funny or is it because they are just so impressed that she is able to do stand-up standing up?
