Ben Harkins

ASTORIA — Three Pacific Northwest comedians have been hand-picked by North Coast Comedy Night host Drew Wilson-McGrath to share the Liberty Theatre stage at 8 p.m. Saturday.

Lynette Manning, a comedy club regular from Olympia, Washington, will be joined by Cameron Peloso, of TV’s “Coming to the Stage,” and Ben Harkins, winner of the 2024 Portland’s Funniest Person contest at Helium Comedy Club.

Manning is the first female member of the comedy group U Got It Productions. She is a regular at renowned clubs like Nate Jackson’s Super Funny Comedy Club and Tacoma Comedy Club.

Peloso topped the local ranks as Portland’s Funniest Person of 2023. He is “one of the few people that can make your host laugh, even if he doesn’t want to,” the Liberty said in an event description.

Harkins, a Portland-based comic, “attacks everything from the cost of groceries to the extinction of species,” was recently voted No. 1 in Willamette Week’s Funniest Five.

Tickets for North Coast Comedy Night are $10, for ages 18 and over. Doors open at 7 p.m. For more, see www.libertyastoria.org.
