  Curious Comedy is a comedy theater in Portland's King neighborhood, founded in 2008 by Artistic Director Stacey Hallal.

The venue offers two spaces for private rental. The Main Stage is a cabaret-style theater seating up to 170, outfitted with professional lighting, sound, and projection, plus a built-in four-camera TV studio (expandable to eight) for live streaming and recording — well suited to shows, tapings, or events that call for production support.

  South Waterfront Park sits along the banks of the Willamette River in Portland's South Waterfront neighborhood, running roughly 1,000 feet along the riverbank. The 4.5-acre park was designed by landscape architecture firm Walker Macy on a site once home to a lumber mill and the city's steam plant, and it provides direct public access to the river year-round — a rarity along the downtown riverfront. At its heart are four lily ponds, home to local ducks and surrounded by irises, azaleas, wild geraniums, and rhododendrons, along with meditation benches for guests who want a quiet moment. Paved, accessible pathways connect the RiverPlace Esplanade to the north with the Tilikum Crossing bridge to the south, opening up views of the Marquam and Hawthorne bridges and, on clear days, Mount Hood and Mount St. Helens. A pair of boulder-lined paths lead down to a natural silty beach exposed at low water, and the sculpture "River Shift" by Mathieu Gregoire anchors the grounds in basalt, concrete, and steel. The park is open from 5am to midnight and includes accessible restrooms, benches, and nearby shops and restaurants, making it a flexible outdoor backdrop for gatherings that want to take advantage of Portland's waterfront setting.

For weddings and private events, the arboretum offers several distinct outdoor settings that can accommodate groups of up to 100 people. The Stevens Pavilion, a triangular A-frame picnic shelter with open timber construction, is one of the park's most recognizable structures and a popular choice for Portland weddings.
