Join us for a panel discussion with Central Oregon comedians Brian Keister, Laura B. Wright, Anthony Poponi, and Julia Reed Nichols as they swap hilarious stories, local insights, and sharp takes on everything from biking trauma to Odyssey’s movie casts.

This episode also features Nick Tilleli, a New York City–based comedian known for his sarcastic storytelling, offbeat observations, and razor-sharp perspective on authority, identity, and everyday absurdities. Bringing a fresh voice from the Big Apple, Nick adds a unique contrast to the Oregon comedy scene—and we think you’ll love getting to know this up-and-coming comic.
