AUBREY CALAWAY is a performer, host, and Portland-based comic.

In a desperate bid for relevance, Aubrey often tells jokes about being trans. He/him does stand-up, improv, and comedic monologing.

He wrote, directed, and acted in an original comedy show This Is Improv!, which won the Patron’s Choice award during its debut run at PortFringe 2026. Aubrey has performed original comedic monologues at Empire Comedy Club, SPACE, Portland Stage, Blue, and Portland Museum of Art. He sometimes does puppetry, drag, and other odd performance art.
