THIS WEEK’S HEADLINERS:
This week at the Gambit Brewing comedy open mic it’s an Iowa Invasion! Featuring Mason City’s Wolfdog Comedy (Jake Peterson & Justin Paulsen) & The Other Guys Comedy (Jason Clemens & Dillon Meek). This is sure to be our “corniest” night of laughs yet!
Wolfdog Comedy
Wolfdog Comedy is the Midwest's top touring fully functional comedic howl-fest! Jake Peterson and Justin Paulsen have taken the stage in bars, breweries, clubs, colleges, backyards, basements, gazebos and because of their Iowa roots, sheds.
Having performed together since 2017, their razor sharp simple comedy hits home. With hundreds of performances under Jake's belt and Justin's elastic waist band, they deliver semi-intelligent humor from the heartland.
Jake Peterson
Jake is a married father of three, and needs out of the house on a regular basis. His comedy revolves around the mundane day to day life while also pointing out the unique in midwest life. That's a clever way of saying he's led a boring existence. The nine year veteran helps carry the banner of Wolfdog Comedy, a duo with co-creator Justin Paulsen that has performed over 500 shows since 2017. Wolfdog Comedy's album is available on all streaming formats. Jake has performed with K. Trevor Wilson of Letterkenny, Adam Hunter, Kevin Farley, Bob Zany, Tim Cavanagh, and Mick Foley while working clubs, colleges, bars, breweries, block parties all over the midwest.
Justin Paulsen
Justin's humor covers everything from having small goals to the perils of youth sports all the way to Winger lyrics. In 2022 he finished 3rd place in the House of Comedy’s (Mall of America) Funniest Person With a Day Job Contest.
The Other Guys Comedy
Jason Clemens
Jason was born and raised in Northern Iowa and because of that has learned to survive on sarcasm, wit and common sense. With his perspective on everyday life and attention to detail, Jason has the ability to turn any mundane topic into hilarious ramblings. Jason won First Place in Top of Pot Comedy Contest 2022 and was host of the 2023 and 2024 Iowa Independent Film Festival!
Dillon Meek
Dillon spends most of his time being a happy-go-lucky kinda guy. This has served him well as a comic, especially in the way that he applies this view to the various things he observes and experiences. He is at his most hilarious when talking about personal tragedy as though it were a light hearted jaunt in the woods. Dillon has been doing comedy since 2017, when a slew of personal tragedies and big mistakes pushed him to his breaking point. You can primarily find Dillon haunting open mics and feature shows in Northern Iowa, but his natural range is expanding as he develops his craft.
