Mortified, the cult comedy sensation that's a smash hit in LA, NYC, D.C., San Francisco, Austin, Chicago & Boston returns to McMenamins Mission Theater for a brand new show. Come see angst-filled Portlanders share their shame on Friday, Sept 16 & Saturday, Sept 17.
Hailed locally by The Oregonian, Portland Monthly, and Willamette Week, and nationally by Newsweek, Entertainment Weekly and NPR's This American Life, Mortified stars everyday people sharing their most embarrassing, pathetic and private teenage diary entries, poems, love letters, lyrics and home movies… in front of total strangers.
Witness ¬Å“personal redemption through public humiliation¬Â in a refreshing show that is equal parts comedic, cathartic and voyeuristic. The largest and longest running project of its kind returns featuring a collection of Portland's bravest souls.

I am trying to introduce my ‘older’ friends to the wonders of Portland’s comedy culture :) Once I get them to bite, I’m sure they’ll keep coming back. Free tickets will most certainly help my mission.
September 13, 2011 at 14:28
I love this show so much!!!! Here’s hoping I win!
September 13, 2011 at 15:18
I have my own mortified story to tell and I want to see how others do it. Plus these events are really fun to laugh and enjoy! please pick me…
September 13, 2011 at 16:04
I love Mortified and haven’t been able to make the last few. Would love to take the boyfriend!
September 14, 2011 at 08:27
This sounds hilarious and painful. Sign me up!
September 14, 2011 at 10:09
I want to go in the name of solidarity. We have all been mortified and it feels good to laugh about it.
September 14, 2011 at 18:25
I love watching people squirm. It makes me feel better about myself. Also, one of my good friends is featuring and my paycheck is late! Help a gal out? She’s going to seriously hate me for life if I don’t show up. FOR LIFE!
September 15, 2011 at 09:52
Haven’t been able to go yet, and heard that it’s hilarious.
September 15, 2011 at 10:35
I would really like to go because my wonderful friend, Amber Jo, will be performing for first time ever and I just know she is going have everyone peeing in their pants with uncontrollable laughter.
It is my own fault I did not buy a ticket sooner, however, when the President of the United States, Mr. Barack Obama, calls on you and asks if you could stop feeding the homeless for a moment and build a missile that will blow up a meteor that is heading towards the earth and will decimate all of humankind on Friday night, then needless to say I struggled with my decision to not buy a ticket before rushing off to save the world. News Update: I have just finished building it.
I do hope you will consider my situation and honor me with a ticket to Mortified, which I have never attended. I apologize if I am not able to read my email tomorrow morning, I will be having an operation to remove three toes on my left foot due to receiving cat scratch fever from a feral kitten who attacked me while I way nursing it back to life.
Thank you, and bless you!

I’ve heard only fantastic things about this show. It looks wicked awesome.
September 15, 2011 at 14:32
Love the pain! Never been to Mortified, would love to check it out!
September 15, 2011 at 14:52
I want to be “Mortified”, soon!
September 15, 2011 at 15:11
As one who has tediously documented her embarrassing and ridiculous adolescent escapades in the journals her older brother would somehow always find–attending and hearing stories worse than mine….would simply–make me feel better
September 15, 2011 at 17:09
I would love to take my sister to see this. It would be awesome to win!
September 15, 2011 at 17:23
I’ve been looking forward to this for weeks! All previous Mortified experiences have left me hideously deformed and exhausted from the laugh/crying that takes place. This could be my chance to show friends that I haven’t over-hyped the experience–that they too, can grimace and relish in the pain of others. Plus, who doesn’t love childhood pictures from the 70′s/80′s/90′s?!?!
September 15, 2011 at 17:41
Most of my life has been an experiment in humiliation. It would be great to hear other peoples tales of mortification.
September 15, 2011 at 17:45
This just sounds really awkward. And that is why I’d like to go.
September 15, 2011 at 18:01
What’s not to love about reliving teen humiliation in public?!?!
September 15, 2011 at 18:08
What better way to celebrate our anniversary than this?
September 15, 2011 at 18:09
I’ve wanted to go to one of these for a loooong time now. I think hearing other people’s humiliating stories would make me feel a lot better about my own.
September 15, 2011 at 18:28
Hey Pipeline… Throw a fan a bone. We wanna be Mortified! Thanks for the tix.
September 15, 2011 at 19:02
I still suffer pangs of embarrassment from many, many “mortifying” moments from past. Going to this show would be a cathartic experience much like going to a support group for bed wetters… finally, I can realize that I’m not alone!
September 15, 2011 at 19:31
Please pick me because my friend is here from Dallas and I want her to think Portland is cool.
September 15, 2011 at 19:31
I love hearing mortified on the radio and it would be really sweet to see how mortified the participants REALLY are!
September 15, 2011 at 20:57
Yes. I Want Go
September 15, 2011 at 21:38
‘Cause, guys, I rarely leave the house unless there’s trees or money involved. I need to experience Portland!
September 15, 2011 at 22:40
Looking for something to do with the Boy and I can just hear his laugh echoing at the most awkwardly wonderful moments!
September 15, 2011 at 22:56
I already have a ticket, but I just found out that a friend from Israel is coming to town and my friend who is performing has promised many fart jokes. I have a premonition that the key to peace in the Middle East may lie in the fart joke and that if we in Portland can send my friend back to Israel with that key, we just may change the course of history. So, please, don’t do this for me, do it for the world.
September 15, 2011 at 23:14
On a west coast road trip and Portland is our last stop before home. Would love to catch some comedy!
September 15, 2011 at 23:28
Witnessing the public humiliation of others and feeling awkward around strangers? I can think of no better way to spend a Friday night! Well, other than finding out you won the lottery whilst having sex and eating a hoagie. But it’s a close second.
September 16, 2011 at 05:42
PS: Since I already have my ticket and need only one, if I win, I will give the other ticket to Melinda, unless she has died from cat scratch fever.
September 16, 2011 at 07:25
My 10 year high school reunion is next weekend, and I’m not going because…it’s my 10 year high school reunion. BUT I would like to relive my horrible teen experience through others’ eyes!
September 16, 2011 at 08:38
I would love to go see Mortified! Laughing about awkward times would be a great way to spend friday night. I can’t wait to hear others’ bury your head in the sand moments!
September 16, 2011 at 10:17
I would love free tix to this as 1. I was once a teen chuck full o’ angst & my diaries WILL be published one day after I’m long gone (I hope) & 2. I’m unemployed, take pity.
September 16, 2011 at 10:25
Ooh…I have always wanted to see this. Public displays of childhood embarrassment? Yes please!
September 16, 2011 at 11:23
Thank you so much for the tickets and the opportunity to indoctrinate my friends! Love you, PDX Pipeline :)
September 16, 2011 at 12:14
…If I win, I will give one of my tickets to Meg.
Together we will strive to make the world a better place… one fart joke at a time. Let’s all hold hands!
September 16, 2011 at 15:09
My best friend from Jr High arrives in PDX tonight for her first visit to Portland. This would ideal! Please pic me, I love you guys!!!
September 16, 2011 at 15:52
I just got dumped by my boyfriend of five years. We own a house together, and I helped him start his business, a local brewery. Not that this situation isn’t funny enough, but I really could use the laughs.
September 16, 2011 at 21:58
If I go there is a chance I would have to get up on stage. I have so many pathetic, embarrassing, awkward, shame-filled diary entries. My adolescence ended far too late with many a story and journal entry to show for it. Glad to see there are others out there.
September 16, 2011 at 22:07
… and if I win tickets then I am definitely taking Heidi. There is no way she can not get on stage and vomit up some recent hurts (hopefully in an amusing way).
September 18, 2011 at 20:21
Schadenfreude.
