Enid,
Next time you inaccurately  describe the portland comedy scene, please take time to learn the definition of the words you use in the headline so you can properly contextualize your insults. It's just lazy otherwise.

black hole:
a region of space having a gravitational field so intense that no matter or radiation can escape.
informal:a place where people or things, especially money, disappear without a trace. 

Thanks!!!
