Max Chapman

Max began his stand-up comedy career in Minneapolis in 2019. His style combines one-liners and painfully honest stories from his life, both of which are darkly humorous. Max is a resident emcee at Acme Comedy Co and worked with some of the top acts in the country. He produces his own monthly comedy show at Terminal Bar and Indeed Brewing in Northeast Minneapolis.

Aidan McCluskey

At 19 years old, Aidan McCluskey gave up on his associate's degree and began his comedy career. Four months after his first open mic, he won Acme's Funniest Person Contest, becoming the youngest winner in the contest's history. After taking a short sabbatical to join a pyramid scheme in Las Vegas, Aidan returned to Minneapolis in 2021 and quickly rose to the top of the local scene. He is now a regular at Acme Comedy Company and The House of Comedy. He's since featured for headliners such as Sean Patton, Michael Rapaport, and tours with Nick Mullen. He's been a guest on the Adam Friedland Show and hosts his own semi-regular podcast, Smoke Show. You can find him headlining a random bar in the middle of nowhere.

This Episode Tommy talks about his comedy career, divorce, how he almost lost his new cat, and a trip he had in his 20's in Europe.

Tommy Ryman, a semifinalist on NBC’s Last Comic Standing, is an acclaimed comedian. His oddly-adorable stand-up landed him No. 1 on iTunes comedy charts for his album Party Troll. Named Best of the Midwest at Gilda’s Laugh Fest, Tommy grew up in Minnesota jamming on clarinet for his new-age mom and kale-chip-making dad. He performs at top clubs, colleges, and festivals across the nation including the Great American Comedy Festival. Tommy was invited to be on Nickelodeon’s NickMom Night Out and has a full comedy special on Dry Bar Comedy. He’s worked alongside Nick Swardson, Hannibal Buress, Maria Bamford and Louie Anderson but none wear a cardigan quite like Tommy. Featured on Paste Magazine and regularly heard on SirusXM and iheartradio, Tommy’s act can be described as absurdist and clever masked behind an endearing, innocent demeanor. A Last Comic Standing judge raved, “I have never seen anything like [Tommy] before in my whole life, [he is] one-of-a-kind, fantastic!”

Chris and Brendan get vulnerable in this episode talking about Death metal band weirdos, substance abuse, road to recovery, and why you should post your FB status at your funeral. hard to believe after the previous sentence but we laughed a lot.

Chris performed in the 43rd Annual San Francisco Comedy Competition in 2018. For 15 years beginning in 2003, Chris "Mad Dog" Maddock hosted the storied Death Comedy Jam, a weekly hub of MPLS comedy and subject of a documentary film, “Death’s Last Stand”. He recorded his first comedy album, Point of Entry, at the legendary Minneapolis rock ganglion First Avenue in the 7th St. Entry, and released it in 2012 on the Grammy Award winning Stand Up! Records.

In 2014 Minneapolis weekly organ City Pages named him Stand Up Comic of the Year, and his 2nd record and special is being released in 2020 under the appellation Country Music Legend. He lives in Minneapolis with his son, Waylon, and his better half, who is also named Chris, but spells it weird

We find out Kaycie hates anytime Brendan talks about AI or talks at all. We go through industries robots will take over and the top college degrees people pay way too much for. This is a fun episode if you like to hear couples argue.
