Trad-Wife: Comedy Special Taping

Purchase Tickets
Curious Comedy Theater
5225 Northeast Martin Luther King Junior Boulevard, Portland, OR
An Emmy-Nominated Comedy Writer Is Opening for His Former Student. Both Are Taping Specials the Same Night. When Cat Alvarado started performing stand-up in 2013, Emmy-nominated comedy writer Paul Clay — who wrote for Designing Women and The Arsenio Hall Show — took her under his wing. More than a decade later, she’s headlining her own comedy special taping in Portland, and he’s opening for her. One generation of comedy handing off to the next, on the same stage, the same night.
The show is Trad Wife — Alvarado’s scorched-earth comedy special about growing up evangelical, surviving purity culture, and the myth of the perfect wife. An ex-evangelical herself, Alvarado built the show from her own experience coming of age in a conservative church during the era of purity rings and celibacy vows.
“It speaks to anyone who grew up in a similar culture and has had to overcome the traumas of that worldview,” says Alvarado. “Humor can heal by helping us laugh at our collective experiences.” The show has traveled across the US and around the world, was named one of Sydney Fringe’s Best Shows in Comedy, and won the Pittsburgh Fringe Best Femme Lead Comedy award. Alvarado’s comedy album Off-White is available on SiriusXM, Spotify, and YouTube.
At a moment when tradwife culture is dominating TikTok and Gen Z is trending surprisingly more conservative, Trad Wife lands as both a comedy show and a cultural antidote — funny first, cathartic second.
Two shows. One night. July 24th at the Curious Comedy Theatre in Portland

This looks very interesting!
Always looking for a good comedy show!
Sounds funny! Especially since I just learned that term
This should be a great time.
I’d love to win tickets and go and take my partner as we both lived a similar experience to Cat Alvarado!
This looks like so much fun!
This would be so fun!
Looks funny, I’d go
she is funny!!

I love Curious Comedy and I would be very happy if I won tickets.

My feminist wife would love this trad wife comedy!

Would love to laugh!
Would love to see this. Looks like fun!
I’d love to check her out!!
I’d love to go!
This sounds awesome and totally relevant to someone who grew up surrounded by a very religious community in Utah!
I love ex evangelicals!
In need of a laugh that makes my stomach hurt!
Do it up!
As an ex-evangelical trad wife who escaped that cult too, this sounds hilarious!!
Would love to take a friend to this!
Down for comedy!

Look Funny
I could really use a good laugh
Cat Alvarado is really hilarious and writes amazing jokes! I would love to see her live!
maybe i need to go so i can stop myself from going down the trad wife pipeline…
Love me some comedy
Sign me up this would be great to go to
This show looks awesome. I always have fun at curious comedy
I want these tickets. I need to be rescued from my trad-wife-life for just one night!!!
I don’t know about a trad-wife life, and I’m not sure that’s important. For me, a good laugh makes over a difficult summer — so, Cat Alvarado: You are the medicine!
As an ex-Catholic who knows how to laugh about it all now and a former trad-wife, Cat would be cathartic for me!
As a non-trad stay-at-home partner, this sounds great!
Would love to hear comedy on evangelicals and trad wife lifestyle. What a hoot.
