ABOUT THE COMEDIANS:
Randall Reid:
For over a decade Randall Reid has been one of the most refreshingly authentic voices in the Twin Cities comedy scene. Whether it’s sharing his own unique experiences with race, family, his reflections on the world around him, or riffing with (often predominately white) audiences in a way that challenges them and makes them squirm. But in a fun way!
With influences ranging from Louie Anderson to Sam Jay, Reid has truly found his own comic voice, which has taken him places he didn’t know were possible. No matter where he performs, he is likely to leave his mark on the audience.
Dan Hinnenkamp:
Dan Hinnenkamp is a Minnesota born-and-raised comedian with a natural gift of humor. Starting comedy in 2015, Dan has already appeared on many of the Midwest’s top stages. Like his comedy heroes Louie Anderson and Ron White, he flawlessly intertwines real life situations with his one of a kind perspective. Dan is a two time finalist in the “Funniest Person in Minnesota Contest” and appeared in the 2021 “World Series of Comedy”.

Stand-Up Comedy: Rochester Invasion
Rochester, MN is known to many for its famous hospital and giant ear of corn in the sky. But there is also a storied standup comedy scene there with a history that spans decades. All kinds of comedy legends, along with future headliners, performed on the stage of the recently shuttered Goonie's Comedy Club.
But that space has been reborn and rebranded under new ownership as Prescribed Laughter Comedy Club and represents the enduring nature of the area's comedians. This Tuesday Gambit Brewing celebrates that resilience by giving a full lineup of their comics a new stage and new audience to showcase their jokes!
Join us as we welcome eleven of the Med City’s funniest standup comedians, from their new up-and-comers to the established headliners. It’s a FREE show so come on out & show them some St Paul love!!!
Retro & Board Game Night
Kick off your week with some laid-back fun at Gambit every Monday night! We’re rolling it back with classic retro video games and breaking out the board and strategy games for a full evening of friendly competition and good vibes.
🎮 Retro Games:
Relive the golden age of gaming with Nintendo 64, NES, and Wii favorites like Mario Kart and Super Smash Bros. Bring your own games if you’ve got a few gems to share!
🎲 Board & Strategy Games:
Whether you’re into Catan, The Crew, or Potion Explosion, there’s always a game (and a seat) waiting for you. Beginners welcome - someone’s always happy to teach.
Grab a beer, pull up a chair, and meet some fellow gamers. Mondays at Gambit are all about nostalgia, connection, and a little friendly trash talk.
Trivia MafIa
Trivia Mafia is here to host trivia every Sunday at 6pm. Trivia Mafia (aka the world’s best bar trivia) is a bar and brewery trivia operation based in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Each session is comprised of 8 rounds, including an image and a sound round, and since we prefer things old-school, we still do pen-and-paper style at Gambit. Plus, the top three winners each week will go home with a prize!

Friday the 13th Galentine's Linocut Party
Get your tickets here!
Forget the chocolate-covered strawberries. This Friday the 13th, we’re heading to Gambit Brewing for a Galentine’s night that’s a little bit "sweet" and a lot "crime scene." It’s time to embrace your inner unhinged Valentine and create some art worth dying for.
Think: Hearts, daggers, revenge, and inside jokes. We’re making handmade prints that say "I love you"... but in a way that might require an alibi.
The Investigation
This is a beginner-friendly, "no-clue-needed" workshop. We’ll guide you through the forensic art of designing, carving, and hand-printing your own murder-romance themed linocut stamp.
