Portland Strip Clubs: The Hot List: Comedy and pizza, Demetri Martin, ‘Luck,’ and a Russ Meyer trash …
by exoticinportland1 If you find yourself working up an appetite while laughing at Portland’s stand-up comics, you’re in luck. Not only can you see Luke Clements, Shane Torres, Sean Jordan, Bri Pruett and Christen Manville, among others, at Mississippi Pizza’s comedy night, well, obviously, there’s pizza. What a perfect world we live in sometimes. 9:45 p.m. Wednesday; Mississippi Pizza, 3552 N. Mississippi Ave.; mississippipizza.com
2 While we’re pairing entertainment and eats, it’s time for another in the “Women and Power” series of films at Mother’s Velvet Lounge. Wallow in the trashy glory — well, in the trashiness, at least — of Russ Meyer’s “Faster Pussycat! Kill! Kill!” As that title indicates, this is not the latest Meryl Streep vehicle. No, it’s the 1965 exploitation flick starring the one and only Tura Satana, playing the leader of a group of stripper pals who hit the road and raise heck. Dinner at 6:30 p.m., screening at 7 p.m., Wednesday; Mother’s Bistro & Bar, 212 S.W. Stark St.; mothersbistro.com
