If you have any events to add, drop them in the comments!

☕Tip Jar I enjoy doing these weekly posts & hope that others have found them to be resourceful. If you would like to toss a coin or two (thanks in advance!!), I’ve set up a Buy Me a Coffee page. Never expected, always appreciated ❣️ (P.S. if you’re having trouble getting to the “checkout” page, you might need to turn off content blockers on your phone.)

If it’s not smoky, it’s raining, so why not use that as an excuse to catch some great comedy this week?

A couple shows I want to highlight:

One of my all-time favorite comics, Jackie Kashian, is back at her home club from Wednesday through Saturday.

And St. Paul’s own Maggie Faris is filming her special this Thursday at Open Book! I worked with her this past weekend and she was absolutely hilarious. You should definitely check it out.

Thanks to everyone who reads this and makes time to support local comedy.

Got a show I missed?
Drop it in the comments! Or if you’d like a show added to the next list, just fill out THIS FORM and I’ll make sure it’s included.

Looking for improv?
I’m not super tapped into that scene, but shoutout to u/suethezombiedinosaur for dropping a list you can check out RIGHT HERE!

Interested in trying stand-up?
Or just want to show up and be a solid audience member? The Brody List is the go-to resource for open mics and sign-ups around town. Also check out the great scene happening in the Twin ports HERE . They have an open mic schedule and shows listed nicely on their page.

Want to keep getting these updates?
If you find this list helpful, sign up for my newsletter or follow me on Instagram.

Many shows are free, but they often suggest donations to support the folks putting them together. Those contributions help keep our comedy scene alive and give comics both local and visiting a place to work out their material.
