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 K*ll”.

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.

Jesse The ShrinkWhat 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.
