It's Jesse's birthday & we're celebrating with special guest comics, prize giveaways, Gambit's very own DJ ScallyBrad (playing intro music for every comic), plus Freshly Squeezed Comedy's Lefty Crumpet & Jesse The Shrink co-headlining!
THIS WEEK’S HEADLINERS:
Jesse The Shrink
What do you get when you mix a shrink & comedian? This guy! Jesse is a bona fide licensed therapist & standup comic who gives audiences a sneak peek into the inner-workings & often hilarious experiences of a mental health professional. Whether he’s talking about navigating virtual therapy sessions during an apocalypse or just trying to figure out what to tell drunk people he does for a living, one thing’s sure: after hearing his stories you’ll never see therapy (or your therapist) the same again!
Jesse is the producer & host of Jesse The Shrink’s Midlife Crisis Show, the St Paul Comedy All-Stars Show, Friday Night Comedy at Gambit Brewing, St Paul Art Crawl Comedy Night, Therapy & Politics, & the 420 Standup Comedy Show.
He’s also co-founder of Freshly Squeezed Comedy, creator of the Funniest Person in St Paul contest, & runs a weekly comedy open mic at Gambit Brewing. Jesse won the 2024 Clear Water Comedy contest at The Plus in Eau Claire, WI, was a 2024 Funniest Person With A Day Job finalist at House of Comedy in Mall of America, & is a regular guest on the Tom Barnard Podcast.
Lefty Crumpet
Lefty is a 26-year-old, Minneapolis-based, ethnically-ambiguous, joke-slinging, musical funnyman with social anxiety from Riverside, California. He started doing standup comedy in college & immediately fell in love with the stage. His love of playing music led him to begin incorporating comedy songs into his standup performances. He lifts your hearts and minds with absurd and hilarious jokes and tunes, about various topics ranging from relationships to Doordash.
Lefty is the producer and host of the popular Pajama Party comedy showcase, was a finalist in the Funniest Person With a Day Job contest at Rick Bronson’s House of Comedy in Mall of America, is co-founder of Freshly Squeezed Comedy, and has appeared on myTalk radio's Brittany and Kendall Show. You can find him bringing joy and confusion to crowds all over the Midwest.
