Late night stand-up comedy night at Al's Den, a speakeasy-style venue in Portland, hosted by Brandon Lyons with local and touring comics.
Brandon Lyons hosts Late Night Comedy at Al's Den on Saturday, December 26, 2026. It's a weekly night, so this is one of many, and Lyons is the one running the show.
Al's Den is a below-street room at the Crystal Hotel in the West End Entertainment District, and it's billed as Portland's original speakeasy-style hideout. It's part of the McMenamins chain and serves as a regular home for stand-up, where local favorites and touring pros try out brand-new material—sometimes sharing jokes for the very first time. The underground setting keeps the audience close to the performers, and the night is rounded out with food and drinks.
Because it's a room where comics work through new bits, you're seeing the process as much as the punchlines. The lineup changes weekly, so you'll get a different set of comics each time. The show is for 21 and over.
