Queer comedy showcase Lez Stand Up has existed in one form or another since 2012, when founder Kirsten "Koop" Kuppenbender says it first popped up at Gay Pizza: a queer night held in a North Portland pizza parlor. While no one can claim that the age of sheltered straight guy humor has passed from mainstream might, Lez Stand Up was certainly something audiences clung to, in those days. Not only were the shows well curated.
