Bend Comedy Presents:
– ERIC ALEXANDER MOORE – @_eric_alexander
Blending his unique perspective, with his skewed, outside-the-box writing and his wry yet playful delivery, Salem, Oregon-based comedian Eric Alexander Moore has become a standup comedy mainstay in the Pacific Northwest.
Eric began performing standup comedy as a hobbyist while living in Los Angeles and attending the Musicians Institute where he studied guitar performance. What started as a pressure-release outlet eventually became an all-consuming passion, leading Eric to leave Los Angeles and return to his hometown of Salem, Oregon, where he helped establish the city’s now-thriving comedy scene which encompasses three theaters and countless bars and hosts top national touring acts.
– RAY MCMILLIN –
Straight out of the hills of Humboldt County, CA, Oregon native Ray McMillin spent seven years in graduate school before establishing himself as a capable, upstanding member of the adult entertainment industry. After walking away from piles of free money and gorgeous women to pursue a career in stand-up comedy, Ray has entertained audiences at festivals (Redwood Comedy Fest, Savage Henry Comedy Festival), featured at comedy clubs (Harvey’s, Punchline) and theaters (Arcata Theater Lounge), won competitions (23rd Almost-Annual Arcata Pun-Off, 2014 Quarterdeck Comedy Contest), performed at chain restaurants (Denny’s) and even video game stores (GameStop). Taking a rant-agonistic approach to otherwise mundane topics that don’t seem to bother normal people, Ray McMillin brings his semi-unique brand of comedy to suspecting crowds of all backgrounds (or at least those available to residents of the Pacific Northwest). His writing can be found at TalesFromTheDJBooth.com and on various restroom walls up and down the 101.
– ELAINE JOHNSON – @Sweetie_Darling
Elaine started performing stand up comedy several years ago, after finally crossing “Open Mic” off of her bucket list on her 35th birthday. She’s had the opportunity to work with comedians such as Kristine Levine, Kermet Apio, and April Richardson. Elaine often hosts and performs at Bend Comedy shows throughout Central Oregon.
