ABOUT OUR COMEDIANS:

Robert Baril

Hailed by the Minneapolis Star Tribune as "the sharpest political commentator on the Twin Cities comedy scene", Robert is always mining the news of the day, tackling all the hot button issues to fuel his informed, take-no-prisoners style of comedy. A mainstay of the Minneapolis and St Paul comedy scene for years and regular at Acme Comedy Club, he has released four comedy albums to date: “Sex and Politics” (2017), “TMI” (2019), “2020” (2021), & “Not the Time” (2022). He was also featured in the Amazon Prime documentary “I Need You to Kill”.

Robert has opened for Louie Anderson (RIP), Tim Dillon, Roy Wood Jr., Michelle Wolf, and Chad Daniels.

Aidan Thibault 

Aidan, just 19-years-old & originally from Duluth, moved to the Twin Cities to make his mark on the local comedy scene. And boy did he succeed, becoming the youngest ever winner of the Acme Comedy Club Funniest Person in the Twin Cities contest in 2024!

From reflecting on the realization that he’s Gen Z as opposed to a millennial (“I just learned recently that they’re, like, 40?”) to self-burns about his masculinity (“If someone sees a big guy with tools they’re like, ‘He’s going to fix something.’ If you see me with tools you’re like, ‘Oh he’s bringing those to someone else’”), Aidan leans into observations that manage to connect with the young as well as old-ass millennial members in the audience. Don’t miss your chance to see him!

Pege Miller

Pege started her comedy career at the Honolulu Comedy Club on the island of Oahu, Hawaii & she's been making audiences from Hawaii to the midwest laugh ever since! Known for her high-energy & positive-vibes demeanor, along with a sharp sense of humor that will leave you in stitches, Pege has become a favorite performer at comedy clubs across the Twin Cities & beyond.

THIS WEEK’S HEADLINERS:

Mike Brody

Starting comedy on a whim at an open mic in the year 2000, Mike has since devoted his life to perfecting the delivery of his high-energy act. Bucking the trend of the apathetic comedian, his genuine passion for his craft draws audience members into the unique world of Mike Brody: an affable, clever guy whose life is often derailed by his own neurotic, obsessive-compulsive and clumsy tendencies.

Brody has spent the last 20+ years touring the U.S. and internationally and hosts the beloved "Only You Would Think That" podcast with fellow comedian Jessi Campbell. He has been featured on the nationally syndicated radio program "The Bob & Tom Show" as well as the "The Dan Patrick Show" podcast. He's recorded two comedy albums , with tracks regularly featured on SirusXM Satellite Radio. Brody can also be seen in his Dry Bar Comedy special "Not Afraid of Butterflies".

Comrade Tripp

Born and raised in Saint Cloud, Minnesota; a city as large as it is small. Comrade Tripp successfully escaped to Minneapolis which is marginally better, where he is a co-producer of Uproar Performing Arts and has been a featured performer of the 10K Laughs Festival.

He has also found another home here on the internet, which is also marginally better than his previous residences. His brand of dark humor has found a place in the ecosystems of the algorithm. 

Despite his despondent disposition, he’s a child at heart; insomuch that he cannot be trusted to take care of himself and has no self esteem whatsoever. The rest of his body is very old.

John Conroy

A D.C. native, John Conroy has devoted himself to making people laugh. Shortly after he relocated to Minnesota, his peers voted him 2008 Best New Comic in the Twin Cities. His sharp and well-crafted material then earned him the title of 2009 Funniest Person in the Twin Cities. In addition, his videos on RooftopComedy.com are Staff and Celeb Picks. 

Now based out of Los Angeles, John’s material is smart, aggressive and uncompromising, which makes him a comedian that you won’t soon forget.
