Portland is about to laugh its way into 2026! Comedy superstar John Mulaney is teaming up with none other than Portlandia legend Fred Armisen for a New Year’s Eve spectacular at the Moda Center on December 31, 2025. The city is already buzzing with excitement as the two comedy heavyweights prepare to close out the year with sharp wit, absurd antics, and a whole lot of laughter.
A Dynamic Duo on Stage
John Mulaney, fresh off his wildly popular Mister Whatever tour, has proven once again that his blend of self-deprecating humor, razor-sharp writing, and storytelling mastery keeps fans coming back for more. But adding Fred Armisen—Portland’s own comedy icon and co-creator of Portlandia—turns this into more than just a comedy show. It’s a cultural event, tailor-made for the Rose City.
With Mulaney’s quick-fire stand-up and Armisen’s unpredictable, genre-bending comedy, fans can expect an unforgettable mix of laughs, music, sketches, and maybe even some weird Portland flair.
