Nearly every Tuesday night at Gambit Brewing in Lowertown, professional comedians headline the open-mic comedy show there. But which headliner is the funniest?
A contest this week will decide — and they need you to judge.
During preliminary rounds over the past two weeks, 30 competitors have been narrowed down to six finalists: Jason Schommer, Ci Ci Cooper, Chris Maddock, Jodie Maruska, Ahmed Kalaf and Linda Aarons.
During the competition’s finale, at 7 p.m. on Tuesday, June 17, each comedian will perform a 10-minute stand-up set. Audience members will have scorecards and can award each comedian up to 10 points, and at stake for the winner is a $1,000 prize.
Tickets, which are $5 apiece and include a 10-ounce Gambit beer, can be purchased online or at the door. Reserved seating for $10 is also available.
In addition to Gambit, Lost Fox cafe and Story Line Books are also supporting the event, which is hosted by comedian (and real-life therapist) Jesse The Shrink, who also produced last year’s Funniest Person in St. Paul competition. A local musical comedian who goes by the stage name Lefty Crumpet will also perform.
Gambit Brewing Funniest Headliner: 7 p.m. on Tuesday, June 17 at Gambit, 141 E. 4th St., Ste. LL2; tickets and additional info at funniestheadlinerweek3.eventbrite.com.
