You can’t miss this one!THIS WEEK’S HEADLINERS:
Maggie Faris
Maggie’s ceaselessly cheerful personality, light-hearted material, and seemingly endless series of quirky, intelligent jokes leave audiences laughing at their own insecurities and prejudices, showing that we are all equally goofy human beings.
Widely considered one of the best comedians to come out of St Paul, Maggie has released four comedy albums*, been featured on NBC’s Last Comic Standing, and co-headlined the inaugural St Paul Comedy All-Stars show. She’s also opened for such comedy greats as Maria Bamford, Louis Black, Damon Wayans, Jeff Ross, Dave Attel, Kathleen Madigan, Jay Pharoah, Michael Che, Daniel Tosh, Nick Swardson, Josh Wolf, Jamie Kennedy, Jimmy Pardo, Todd Glass, Joey Diaz, Sebastian Maniscalco, Greg Fitsimmons, Justin Willman, and Fortune Feimster.
Maggie was voted “Best Comedian” by her Minnesota peers and named “One of the Funniest Lesbians in America” by Curve magazine, as well as “Next Funniest Queer Comedian” by The Advocate magazine.
Oh and she wins comedy competitions in her sleep! Maggie’s taken top prize at the Loons on the Lake Comedy Competition, Minnesota Laugh-Off, Stand Out National Queer Comedy Search Competition, and the Gender Showdown (previous competitors including Louie Anderson and Rosanne Barr). She also won the Silver Nail Award and Funniest Clip of the Year at the Aspen Comedy Festival. The icing on the cake: one of Maggie’s competition wins landed her the coveted role of public address announcer for the St. Paul Saints professional baseball team, leading to an appearance on ESPN’s Cold Pizza!
Don’t miss your chance to see Maggie live!
