Local Stand-Up Comedy is back in Ashland, and soon to spread through Talent & Phoenix, too. The Black Market Comedy Group is a collection of local comics who have begun performing regular shows at the Hong Kong Bar in Ashland. The group last performed together regularly when the Caldera Pub was known as the Jefferson State Pub, in between two stints as the Siskiyou Pub.

Members of the group host a comedy open-mic at the Hong Kong Bar in Ashland on Sunday nights, bi-weekly.  They are planning on a monthly showing at the new Caldera Pub in Ashland, as well as a the Little Brown Jug in Talent. Comics include Scott May, Tyler Foley, Dan McLaren, and Levi Anderson.
