White Eagle Saloon

Portland's Wildest Storytelling Experience Returns!

Take a break and treat yourself after a long Turkey Day and join us for Portland's wildest and most interactive comedy and storytelling entertainment event: the annual Best Of Pants On Fire! Party at the historic White Eagle Hotel & Saloon.

Each Pants On Fire! show features eight of the Northwest's premier storytellers, comedians, artists, writers, celebrities & musicians telling some of the most outrageous, hard-to-believe, 100% true stories you've ever heard - except that one of our storytellers will be lying to your face, telling a complete whopper that never happened. Our annual Best Of show, always held over Thanksgiving weekend, brings back our best performers of the past year, as voted on by our fans.

And as always, if you can guess which of our storytellers is the liar, you could win an overnight stay at the Edgefield Winery on us. Or you can try to win the Bag O' Somewhat Valuable Prizes with our Two Truths & A Lie Audience Cage Match!

Pants On Fire: Family/Friendly is an all-ages show, featuring eight of the most amazing, hard-to-believe s stories you'll ever hear - one of them, of course, being entirely made up. Please note that although the show is all-ages, some stories will likely be more PG-13 than G. (Our later show, Pants On Fire: Filthy/Freakyat 9:00pm, will be 21-and-over only, and will feature eight incredibly sinful, decidedly not-safe-for-work stories; you can get tickets to that show at the White Eagle or 7 Deadly Sins website. )

Featuring new (mostly) true stories from thenovelist and voice of OPB Jason Sauls; comedian and CHURCH: Wrath producer Star Dell'Era, Moth Radio Hour alumni and ROUGH DRAFT host Kahlie Towle; legendary storyteller and host of It's Not Me, It's You Alina Aliyar, voice actor, producer for The Portland Moth and Iron Man Dave Williams; schoolteacher and 7DS: MainStage and Saturnalia alum Pat McCreery; writer, activist, and U of O professor Alison Gash; private detective and creator of ROAR: Fierce Female Storytelling Erika Worth; and more!

This show sells out every year, so get your tix now and come out for a wild night of funniest, craziest, most unbelievable stories you'll ever hear on stage - most of which will actually be true.

An Interactive Open-Mic Comedy/Storytelling Show

The Absolute Worst is an interactive, open-mic comedy/storytelling show where audience members face off against three curated comedians and storytellers to find out who can lay claim to having had the worst holiday ever, with both absolutely fabulous and absolutely terrible prizes at stake.

And if you have a great story about an absolutely terrible holiday you had to endure, you might walk away with the evening's grand prize!

Maybe your worst-holiday story is about that one year you had too much to drink at your company Christmas Party and tried to make out with the copy machine. Or maybe it's about that New Years Eve you agreed to get fixed up on a blind date with your roommate's cousin's neighbor's just-paroled old college frat buddy because, really, how bad could the guy be? Or maybe it's about that time you got dumped on Valentines Day, or that Birthday Party your mom threw where no one showed up, or that Fourth Of July you accidentally set off what everyone in your family now just refers to as "the toilet fire."

Don't want to tell a story? No problem! You can still win a prize by winning our Absolute Worst Pictionary Cage Match, or giving the best answer to our Absolute Worst Question Of The Night, or being crowned the Absolute Best Audience Member, or some other prize that we'll probably just make up as we go.

Also, we may ask everyone to howl at the moon. Or we may not. (We'll see.)
