Comedy Night at The Bingen – Deviant Acts with Jeff Greenspan
2026-03-12 18:30 - 21:00 | The Bingen Theater, 210 OAK STREET, Bingen, WA, 98605, US
Comedy Night at The Bingen
Deviant Acts with Jeff Greenspan
Thursday, March 12 – 6:30 ( An earlier show for a worknight crowd.)
Recommended 18+
Seating begins at 6:00 – Show begins at 6:30
Deviant Acts is Jeff Greenspan’s solo, multimedia comedy show blending stand-up with footage from his real-life media stunts. Jeff roasts advertising, media, and pop culture—while sharing behind-the-scenes stories from viral pranks like The Tourist Lanes (called “brilliant” by New York Magazine) and the covert installation of The Snowden Statue (featured by Rachel Maddow).

A former BuzzFeed Chief Creative Officer and Facebook insider, Jeff now turns his media expertise against the system, hijacking news cycles with stunts so bold even NYC’s mayor had to weigh in. Along the way, Jeff gets personal, unpacking how the media warped his sense of self-worth as a gay man—and how it distorts the way all of us see ourselves. You’ll leave laughing, thinking, and maybe plotting a scheme or two.

AGES AND AGES
A lot was happening in my life when the songs for Fine Thanks and You began to emerge. It feels strange to talk about them without the broader context – but it’s also worth mentioning that these songs weren’t necessarily written ‘about’ what I was moving through, namely, my dad dying. Not one song on this record is about death or grief. But in so many ways the realness of that process was creating a lot of vivid existential sparks that the mind wanted to follow.
The sparks I chose to follow were mostly simple reflections about what it’s like to be in a body, to have agency, to have space, and to move through this window of time like a visitor. It was an exploration, and with every exploration comes imagery: heatwaves waving back at me (Hot Pavement)…sidewalks slipping off into infinity (City Walkin’)…painted hills, sharp like knives, cutting up the purple sky (Wild Ride)…up again, into the light again, open my eyes and then I realize I don’t want it to end (Second Thoughts).
Musically, I wanted the songs on Fine Thanks and You to have a steady pulse and I wanted them to feel sexy, like the clicking of confident high heels pacing rhythmically on the granite tiles of life’s mad hallway—bass hooks, steady kick and snare, warm synths – all of these elements existing like a reliable landmark on an electric and mysterious skyline. Because thematically there is searching in these songs, but never a sense of feeling lost.
Weirdly, it was during these times of channeling thoughts into songs that I found myself gravitating to big box stores with no intention of buying anything. This might seem like a non-sequitur – but these places were a calming backdrop to a mind that hadn’t been untangled yet. Something about the sterility of the big box store -their utter neutrality and aggressive dedication to the bland and basic. These places were a blank and empty canvas for me to cycle through ideas until a line or a hook, or even a whole song came out. I walked through their aisles for a long stretch of months. “Can I help you find anything?” I want to find a state of mind I haven’t been in (Inspiration). “What is it you’re looking for?” I don’t know what I want, all I know is that I want it to be real and I wanna feel amazing (Feel Amazing). “How are you doing today?” Fine thanks and you.
I worked at a place close to a recording studio called Trash Treasury, where Cameron Spies records and produces – so we would cross paths and talk to each other all the time about just about anything – obviously music being one of them. If feels strange to say now, but because of our day-to-day proximity, it almost seemed too “easy” to choose Cam to produce this record, so I spent some time looking elsewhere. But the more I spent time listening to the records he’d worked on (including his own band Night Heron), the more I knew he was the right person to help us create that sonic umbrella we were all wanting to huddle under.
We recorded mostly at Trash Treasury and partly at our own studio, Friendly Ghost. In either case, the studio was like a friendly fallout shelter for all of us to have fun and try things and be freaks. It was a lovely experience, consisting of Rob Oberdorfer (bass), Evan Railton (drums), and me – Tim Perry (guitar and vocals). Someone who was also instrumental during the second phase of recording, was Mira Stanley. I met Mira on a co-write we did over zoom and was in awe of her voice. We were working a lot at that time on our own material, but I asked if she would like to come and contribute her vocals to the Ages record. She drove all the way from Nashville to make it happen, and immediately fit right in. So much, in fact, that she now lives in Portland and is a card-carrying member of the band.
SCARVES
Ever since Scarves’ inception in 2013, the Seattle-based indie band’s lineup continues to evolve with Niko Stathakopoulos at its nucleus as the main storyteller. The revolution of band members follows Niko’s artistic journey in local music communities spanning from coast to coast. His thrilling adventures in the depths of punk venue basements, shopping at record stores, and hanging around house shows allowed Niko to befriend the many talented musicians who would someday contribute to the Scarves roster and discography. Following the release of their 2022 album, Delicate Creatures, the band had the pleasure of opening for artists such as PUP, Deerhoof, and the Dodos as well as performing at Bumbershoot Music Festival and the legendary radio station, KEXP. Their stories as independent artists paired with the struggles of real-world experiences inspired the band to write their 2026 album, Strays Forever. Alongside Stathakopolous during the creation of this album, Scarves consisted of Nessa Grasing (vocals/guitar), Jesse Cohen (bass), Jacob Whinihan (drums), and LA-native Elijah Sokolow (guitar and production).
Strays Forever is about seeking optimism and hope against the intense fear and anxiety induced by our modern era. Niko explains, “I tried to make the music feel grand yet cozy, glitchy but homey. It’s also a lot about forgiveness, and coping with family trauma with hopes to rebuild lives with the people you love. To continue pushing through the darker moments of life – no matter how thick the fog, I’ll be your lantern”. The band’s range of inspiration pulls from the short stories of Raymond Carver, the paintings of Amy Bennet, the poetry of Derrick C. Brown, and the sound of The Weakerthans, Hop Along, and the Mountain Goats.
The album shines light on the struggles of many young people today who dream of starting a family, but fear bringing life into a world of uncertainty and desolation. Niko describes that “it’s about trying not to lose who you are as an individual as the pressures of love and adulthood mount, but also about trying to keep your loved ones safe”. As the album’s production developed, this idea stemmed into themes that center around the inevitable responsibility of guiding the next generation with love and compassion in an increasingly dividing society. “Chainsaw” for example is a love song that draws deep inspiration from the imagery of the classic horror movie The Texas Chainsaw Massacre.
Scarves teamed up with producer Chris Walla to record Strays Forever at the renowned Hall of Justice Studios in Seattle. Stathakopoulos recalled, “working with Walla was a dream come true. He’s just the warmest and most imaginative producer. He’s like Willy Wonka with his wild suggestions that always work out”. During the recording process, the band was welcome to break creative boundaries in their song writing and instrumentation. They experimented with vintage tape machines to warble recorded tracks into luscious soundscapes and layered in string and flute arrangements to bring a cinematic touch to their music.
