BREAKFAST OF CHAMPIONS – 1 PM
Sunday, September 11
Let’s face it. We can all get pretty serious. Why not blow off some steam
at Breakfast of Champions? This DIY comedy show/dance party, which
is native to Portland, was a monthly staple at Holocene for more than a
year, and made its TBA festival debut last year. Drinking Bloody Marys
and eating cereal while watching themed comedy skits interspliced with
cartoons became the Sunday norm for many a Portlander. Join host Johnny
Bigshot (think failed member of the rat pack) as he runs the show (think into
the ground) and generally abuses the large ensemble cast known as the
Breakfast of Champions players.

This is to be their last performance ever so expect them to pull out all the
stops. The theme for the skits and the cartoons is “fame.” Think over the top
costumes, musical numbers, ludicrous papier-mâché props, and 15 friends
trying to make each other laugh on stage. If the last TBA performance was
any indication, we can expect a tailor-made show which is huge in scope and
lampoons the festival and performance art in the best possible ways. Think
thinking, just not thinking too hard.

And just when you can’t handle any more good clean fun, you can burn off
all your pent up energy in the afternoon “dance church” as we work off our
sugar highs on the dance floor. Try it out before it disappears forever.
