Kickstand Comedy & Author Improv

See what happens when art inspires improv comedy! MONDO showcases readings from poets and authors, and some of Portland’s best improvisers listen, ask questions and explore the themes and ideas in the writing. The result is hilarious live comedy created on-the-spot. Kickstand Comedy is a comedy space and training center located in Old Town above The Siren Theater.

This year’s MONDO at Lit Crawl Portland showcases the work of author Rebecca Schiff. Rebecca is the author of the short story collection The Bed Moved, a finalist for the LA Times Book Award and a Sami Rohr Prize. Her fiction has appeared in n+1, Electric Literature, The Guardian, Fence, and Washington Square. She lives in Eugene, Oregon.

“Schiff writes slim, ice-pick stories about sex and death and nighttime cab rides, sharpened by humor and extreme candor.”
