The Worst & Wildest Show: ANIMALS

Wed, Aug 20th 8:00pm @ White Eagle

It’s audience vs. performers as host Meg Ferrill and 7 Deadly Sins present a collection of Portland’s top comedians, writers, artists, radio personalities, and other assorted raconteurs — in this case, Kahlie Towle, Scott Sanders, and Star Del’Era — tell the their own worst, best or weirdest story about animals.

But anyone in the audience can offer up the deets on their own worst, best or weirdest animal story.

And that story can be about whatever the word ‘animals' means to you, be it domesticated pet, wild beastie, or colorful metaphor. Maybe it’s a story about a beloved pet who changed your life, or broke up a budding romantic relationship, or let you know it was finally time to save Timmy from the well. Or perhaps your story is about some encounter with nature: that bear that stalked you on a hike, or the two cows that got a little too intimate that time your kindergarten class visited the dairy, or the flock of crows that decided to make your life a living hell. Or maybe the animal is you.

Whoever everyone decides had the worst, best, or weirdest animal story — be it performer or audience member — will have a chance to win one of the absolute best or absolute worst prizes ever awarded on stage.

We’ll also give away prizes for the best answer to our Absolute Worst Question Of The Night, the evening’s Best Audience Member, and whoever brings us the weirdest unbelievable but true trivia fact about an animal. Plus other prizes that we’ll probably just make up as we go!

Also, we may ask everyone to howl at the moon. Or we may not. (We’ll see.)

7DS: Pants On Fire Double Header

Join us as we host Portland’s wildest and most interactive comedy and storytelling entertainment event with Pants On Fire! at the historic White Eagle Hotel & Saloon.

As always, you’ll hear eight of the Norhtwest’s premier storytellers, comedians, artists, writers, celebrities & musicians telling some of the most outrageous, hard-to-believe, 100% true stories you've ever heard — except that one of our storytellers will be lying to your face, telling a complete whopper that never happened.

And as always, if you can guess which of our storytellers is the liar, you could win an overnight stay at the Edgefield Winery on us. Or you can try to win the Bag O’ Somewhat Valuable Prizes with our Two Truths & A Lie Audience Cage Match!

But this time, you have two Pants On Fire! shows to choose from.

THE FAMILY/FRIENDLY SHOW!

Our early show, Pants On Fire: Family/Friendly, will be all ages, featuring eight of the most amazing, hard-to-believe s stories you’ll ever hear — one of them, of course, being entirely made up. It will be a great early-evening affair, and the first time we’ve ever done a Pants On Fire! where young adults can join in the fun. (Please note that although the show is all-ages, many stories will likely be more PG-13 than G; as such it is recommended for young adults and adults.)

Featuring new (mostly) true stories from literal rock star and certified-gold-selling Animotion head-man Bill Wadhams, standup comic and producer Star Dell’era, Moth Radio Hour alumni and ROUGH DRAFT host Kahlie Towle, fellow Moth Radio Hour alum and one-time celebrity-dog owner Scott Sanders, Moth Grand Slam winner and Best of RISK!-winning Samira Sahebi, 7DS: MainStage and previous Pants On Fire winner Terri Knight, storytelling newbie Larry Johnson, and more!

6:00 PM at the White Eagle

THE FILTHY/FREAKY SHOW!

Our late show, Pants On Fire: Filthy/Freaky, will be 21 and over only, and will feature eight incredibly sinful, decidedly not-safe-for-work stories that will be just as amazing and hard-to-believe as the ones form the early show.

Featuring new (mostly) true stories from writer, filmmaker, and Tiniest Party host Travis Abels, host of Porch Hang Radio Hour and Willamette Week’s Best Comedian 2025 Finalist Ash Allen, actor, director, and producer of Story Pirates Bradford Jordan, PDX couples counselor and Pants On Fire favorite Jamie Berkowitz, private detective, activist, and creator-host of ROAR: Fierce Female Storytelling Erika Worth, award-winning singer-songwriter and Renegade Saints alum John Shipe, writer, designer, and 7DS Newbie Chris Sullivan, and more!
