Another fantastic show at Fat Pants Brewing as Hawaii native Pege Miller hosted, the incredibly funny Sherlonda Sharp featured and the hilarous Jason Schommer headlined a sold out show at Fat Pants on December 29th. Jason finished the show with some personal stories about his comedy mentor and friend, the great Louie Anderson. A night we'll never forget!
A packed the house at The Burrow in Oakdale on a Sunday night!
Minnesota Classic Comedians brought their A game and some great jokes - old and new! Karen Pickering set the hilarious tone as the show's Emcee. Kurt Houcks' guest spot was spot-on funny. Paul Dillery showed why he's considered a gnat-ural comedic talent. Mary Jo Pehl waxed semi-eloquently about her dog's diet. Dean Johnson brought his Uke and his one-of-a-kind sense of humor and one-of-a-kind vocal stylings. A great time was had by all!
Seven of the Twin Cities best comedians took the stage to try out some of their latest ideas, newest bits and in-development stories. Michael Thorne, Ira Ford, Cianna Violet, Robert Baril, Joe Cocozello, Matt Doyema and Karen Pickering had them laughing in the aisles at the YellowBrick Underground.
Comedian, photographer and recording artist (#1 on Itunes) Wendy Maybury brought her trademark humor and one-of-a-kind stories to the stage at Fat Pants Brewing, and man, she was killing it! Joe Christianson featured with a collection of clever one liners and jokes that the crowd loved. Host Max Chapman's true life construction worker observations set the table for a great night of entertainment. A nearly full house enjoyed the comedy, great food and delicious drink options that Fat Pants Brewing always serves up. Another great night of comedy from YellowBrick Comedy!
Trevor Anderson brought his unique and relatable sense of humor to the Hop Spot showroom September 21st and slayed our audience with the help of some wooden spatulas. Feature Lucy Zarns delivered with her trademark wit and spot-on delivery. Guest Lily Meyer proved why she is one of the most promising comics on the scene today, and Jesse the Shrink kicked off the show with his shrink-next-door affable nature and hilarious stories. Another winning show at Fat Pants Brewing in Eden Prairie!
We had a great show July 26th at Fat Pants Brewing using a new YellowBrick Comedy format: New Material Night. A hybrid between an Open Mic and a Showcase, six veteran comedians joined us for a night of experimentation - trying new jokes, exploring premises, riffing on ideas from the stage. It was a chance to explore some new ideas with a supportive, enthusiastic audience.
Every comic nailed it! Our all-star lineup of Ulysses Zackery, Malory Manderfield, Ben Marcotte, Abeneezer Merdassa, Mary Jo Pehl, David Harris and Jodie Maruska had the crowd roaring throughout the night.
This is definitely a format we will try again, it was so successful.
Linda Aarons waxed eloquently on the dirty secrets behind Tootsie Pop testing and kept the crowd of 100+ rolling all night. Rick Logan, Khadijah Cooper and Rudy Pavich rounded out the bill with hilarious observations and - um - confessions. Great burgers, food and drinks to start the night - who could ask for anything more?!
Another stellar YBC performance!
Mary Jo Pehl spun some hilarious tales and slung numerous gut-busting jokes to a sold out crowd at Fat Pants Brewing on December 30th. The packed house roared with approval all night long for Mary Jo, feature Lahiru Samarasinghe and host Ali Horman. Unfortunately we had to turn away a few people at the door because we were sold out the day before. You've been forewarned - get your tickets early for the next show.
Another stellar YBC performance!
We packed the room at Fat Pants Brewing and the comics delivered! David Harris, Jodie Maruska and Calvin Murata brought their "A" games to the "Hop Spot" showroom in Eden Prairie. The brews were outstanding, the food was delicious and the laughs were plentiful.
Another stellar YBC performance!
Michael Thorne, Linda Aarons, Khadijah Cooper and Eric Peter Dewolff
found the funny in just about everything you can imagine tonight. The Chaska VFW crowd was enthusiastic all the way through.
Another stellar YBC performance!
Tommy Ryman slayed at our debut show at Fat Pants Brewing in Eden Prairie August 25th. A near-capacity crowd enjoyed great food, fantastic brews and even better comedy from Tommy and our great lineup of comics including Cianna Violet, Ben Marcotte and Jon Stannard. You should have been there - don't miss the next one!
