Ethan Pedersen

Ethan Pedersen is a Minneapolis based standup comedian. Possessing maturity beyond his years, a keen observational eye and the awareness for making light of everyday life and the absurdity of situations we may all find ourselves in.

He’s also had several finals appearances in comedy competitions including Fargo’s Funniest Person contest, the Funniest Person Contest at Acme Comedy Club in Minneapolis, and the Funniest Person in Minneapolis contest at Sisyphus Brewing.

Featuring:

Pete Hannegraf

Pete Hannegraf is ultimately unknowable- and has the followers to prove it! Pete uses his acerbic wit and acid tongue to highlight the absurdities of everyday life, along with spoofing today’s contemporary societal conventions. His favorite qualities about himself include his humility, modesty, diffidence, lack of self-promotion, and Godlike comedic powers. Pete hosts the Twin Ports Comedy Podcast and is the reigning Funniest Person in the Twin Ports. Responsible enough to co-own a dog, you can count on Pete to commit to the bit- at least half the time! 

Justin Neal

Meet the man behind the laughs, funny_juddy, or Justin Neal for those who prefer a touch of formality. Bringing his unique brand of humor to the good folks of Minnesota and Wisconsin, funny_juddy's comedy delves into the relatable struggles of remote work, the quirks of married life, and the interesting experience of being born in the 1900s.
