Funhouse Lounge

Point Break LIVE!

Written by

Funhouse Lounge is totally stoked to bring back the smash hit: Point Break LIVE!, an over-the-top stage adaptation of the 1991 Keanu Reeves/Patrick Swayze extreme sports blockbuster, Point Break.

The audience doesn’t just watch this show, they are part of it. Each night, the audience chooses who will play “Johnny Utah” from a group of audience volunteers who audition for the role. The lucky winner gets his/her lines via cue-cards so as to capture the *raw acting talent* of Keanu himself. But there’s more; from being robbed by bank robbers in presidential masks, to be doused with spray from the surf, the audience is fully immersed in this show (fake money and ponchos are available at the door).

Point Break LIVE! ran for 9 years in San Francisco, 6 years in LA, and is currently enjoying a successful run in New York. Don’t miss out on what promises to be a totally tubular, bitchin’ rush like nothing else in Portland. Live the Ride, bra’!

Tickets start at $25.

SHOWTIMES: Thursdays-Saturdays, 7:00 pm, doors at 6:30 pm

Special late nite show on Saturday, 3/18, at 10 pm. Ticket available here: Late Nite Point Break, LIVE!

All ages welcome–this show is rated PG-13ish/R for adult language, themes, sexual situations and totally tubular surfing.

Murder Mystery Machine

Written by

The Funhouse Lounge is proud to present the return of a Halloween favorite: Murder Mystery Machine, where each night the cast bring a never-before-seen slasher film to life, improvised live on stage, and investigated by the Scooby Doo gang.

Come and see the Funhouse Lounge Improv Company craft a classic bloody murder mystery based on suggestions from the audience.
As a crazed murderer runs rampant, the locals live in terror. But when the Scooby Gang is around, crimes don’t go unsolved! Those favorite Saturday morning sleuths of Mystery Inc., portrayed in delightfully non-traditional fashion by the talented actors of the Funhouse Lounge, will be there to make sure the guilty face justice.

Investigating the crime while the murderer runs free, you’ll see our gang puzzle over clues, jump to conclusions, chase monsters, and gobble up Scooby snacks. Zoinks! It’s a real creepy Halloween-time treat for all.

Run time: this show runs approximately 1.5 hours, with a 10-minute intermission. 

All showtimes are at  7:00 pm. Doors will open at 6:30–please allow ample time to find street parking and be seated before the show begins.
