Hosted by Arlo Weierhauser

It’s hot, it’s kinky, it’s funny, it’s smart – and it’s nothing at all like mainstream adult entertainment! HUMP! is back for fall with 22 brand new short films so creative, so sexy, so completely unexpected – you’ll never experience anything else quite like this! It’s a full out counter to censorship, and an act of defiance that encourages us all to embrace ourselves, and each other, exactly as we are.

If you’re looking for something to do after Friday night’s shows, hang with Fondra Farce and fellow cast members of Flick The Bean at their Unofficial HUMP! After Party! Bask in the glory of The Bean, mingle with other HUMP! enthusiasts, and get a chance to win free tickets to the 2026 Spring Lineup! (Friday 9/12, 10:30pm at Pope House Bourbon Lounge)

All shows will be hosted by Portland’s own Arlo Weierhauser, the hilarious stand-up comedian wunderkind and winner of "Portland’s Funniest Person” in 2017. You may recognize Arlo from your screen of choice (The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, Laugh It Forward on AppleTV, Epix’s Unprotected Sets), from one of Portland’s many live comedy venues, and from international comedy fests!

Join the resistance, support the creators of ethical and inclusive adult content in an open and welcoming space, and have a great time doing it!

Q: I've never been to HUMP! before...can you tell me more about it?
A: Dan Savage's HUMP! – the world's best indie erotic film fest – is adult entertainment by the people for the people. Every year, hot, creative, and kinky bite-sized shorts (no film is longer than 5 minutes) are submitted by creators from around the world, and the HUMP! Jury selects the best of the best to create joyful, sex-positive, and inclusive feature-length lineups.

Q: So...I'm going to watch adult films in a theater full of strangers?
A: These aren't your typical adult films! HUMP! takes pride in celebrating all body types, shapes, ages, colors, sexualities, genders, kinks, and fetishes, and these insanely creative, independently-made shorts often redefine the adult genre. You'll see things you'd never see just sitting at home clicking around the internet, and you'll immediately find yourself cheering, applauding, and laughing along with the crowd!

Our 20 year mission of creating a public space for sex-positivity, representation, and inclusivity is feeling more important than ever, but we're up for the challenge and we know you are, too! When you purchase a ticket to HUMP!, you're supporting ethical adult content creation – in addition to being eligible for up to $10,000 in audience and jury awards, filmmakers receive a percentage of every ticket sold.

HUMP! will shock you. HUMP! will make you laugh. HUMP! will turn you on. So what are you waiting for? Come get some!
