The Annual Best of Pants On Fire Party

Treat yourself to a night off after Turkey Day as we host Portland’s wildest and most interactive entertainment event with our annual Best of Pants On Fire! Party at the historic White Eagle Hotel & Saloon.

Pants On Fire! features some of the Pacific Northwest’s premier storytellers, comedians, artists, writers, celebrities & musicians telling some of the most outrageous, hard-to-believe, 100% true stories you've ever heard. The problem is, one of our storytellers will be lying to your face, telling a complete whopper that never happened.

Think you can figure out which ones are telling the truth, and which one's pants are on fire? If you can, you might win a bunch of cool stuff, including an overnight stay at the Edgefield Winery & Hotel.

Or try to win the Bag O’ Somewhat Valuable Prizes with our Two Truths & A Lie Audience Cage Match!

Best of all, our annual Thanksgiving Weekend Pants On Fire! All-Star Party features 7 Deadly Sins’ best storytellers of the year, as chosen by our fans.

We’ll have two shows: our all-ages early Family/Friendly Show at 6:00pm, and our very much NSFW 21 & over Filthy/Freaky Show at 9:00pm.

The Best Of Pants On Fire!: Family Friendly

Pants On Fire: Family/Friendly is an all-ages show featuring eight of the most amazing, hard-to-believe stories you’ll ever hear — one of them, of course, being entirely made up. Please note that although the show is all-ages, some stories will likely be more PG-13 than G.

Featuring new (mostly) true stories from novelist and voice of OPB Jason Sauls; comedian and CHURCH: Wrath producer Star Dell'Era, Moth Radio Hour alumni and ROUGH DRAFT host Kahlie Towle; legendary storyteller and host of It’s Not Me, It’s You Alina Aliyar, voice actor, producer for The Portland Moth and iron man Dave Williams; schoolteacher and 7DS: MainStage and Saturnalia alum Pat McCreery; writer, activist, and U of O professor Alison Gash; private detective and creator of ROAR: Fierce Female Storytelling Erika Worth; and more!

The Best Of Pants On Fire: Filthy/Freaky

Pants On Fire: Filthy/Freaky will be a 21-and-over show, and will feature eight incredibly sinful, possibly risqué, decidedly not safe-for-work stories.

Featuring new (mostly) true stories from comedian and creator of the award-winning shows American’t and Rabbit Night!!! Jon Bennet; writer, actress, one-time-weather-gal, and PDX radio icon Daria Eliuk; comedian, Funny/Story coach, and host of Shady Pine Radio’s Porch Hang Ash Allen; comedian, New Yorker Magazine contributor, and winner of Willamette Week’s 2021 Funniest Five Katie Nguyen; comedian, The Moth storytelling coach, creature of the Webby-nominated Failure Club, and host of The Absolute Worst Show Meg Ferrill; storyteller, director of Story Pirates, host of Kickstand Comedy’s The Do Over and exactly 50% of the award-winning improv duo Tim & Bradford Bradford Jordan; marketing guru and longtime DJ and VJ Melissa Ives; couples therapist and 7DS fan fave Jamie Berkowitz; and more!

7 Deadly Sins Church Part One: Wrath

Join us this December as we kick off 7 Deadly Sins: Church, our new joint venture with Portland Art Museum’s Center For An Untold Tomorrow (PAM-CUT)..

7 Deadly Sins: Church is a seven-part interactive live storytelling series that explores each of the Seven Deadly Sins, what they mean in this particular moment in history, and how we might choose to think of them in these turbulent times. In this first show, Part One, the stories will focus on the Sin Of Wrath, a sin which — let’s be honest — feels pretty 2025.

Wrath is the most frightening of all the sins; the one most of us associate with violence, fury, or revenge. But wrath can also be a call for justice. Wrath is John Brown. Wrath is Stonewall, and the Selma To Montgomery March, 438 coordinated women’s “p**sy-hat” marches in 2017, and seven million people flocking to No Kings rallies this fall. Wrath, in other words, is like all of the other deadly sins: for better and worse, it is part of what makes us human. And like all things human, it has stories to tell.

Despite being an entirely secular show created by a group of outlandishly sinful heathens, 7 Deadly Sins: CHURCH will have all the trappings and spirit of an old-school gospel tent revival — albeit with less religion and more access to cocktails. (Also, if anyone is somehow miraculously healed of anything during the show it will surprise us way more than you.)

Plus there will be laughs! And music! And poetry! And more laughs! And readings! And singalongs! And still more laughs! Because more than anything, 7 Deadly Sins: CHURCH is going to be a kick-ass, howl-at-the-moon evening of fun as we all celebrate what it means to be human, and look to keep the darkness at bay just one night longer.

7 Deadly Sins Church Part One: Wrath takes place Thursday, December 11th at PAM-CUT’s Tomorrow Theater.
