Bios:
Marlin Wells is a Fargo, North Dakota comic who, since 2014, has peddled his laughs from literal prairie ghost towns to the bright lights of the Midwest's fairest cities. Long nights and hard miles have sharpened Marlin into one of the funniest performers in the frozen north. He is a deceptively smart and whimsical comic, trapped in a dust bowl pig farmer's body, reminding audiences to never judge a book by its cover. Marlin was a Fargo Comedy Festival winner in 2019 and performed at the Portland Maine Comedy Festival in 2022

A single mother who worked through grad school as a touring comedian to become a college professor, Jenni Lou offers a unique perspective in her comedy shows, speaking engagements, and workshops.

Blaise Kautzman:
Blaise Kautzman is a goofball who grew up around the rolling plains, buttes, and enchanted highways of small town North Dakota. Now, he is a regular at The Cellar and Boss' Comedy Clubs in Fargo, ND. Blaise's charm and humorous observations make him a favorite in the Coen Brother's titular city.
He has featured for comics such as Jeff Dye, performed all throughout the Midwest, and is constantly exploring more territories (and their local dive bars).
You can also catch him on his radio show and podcast @iwokeupforthispod anywhere you get your podcasts; or hear him on the streets telling anyone who will listen how well he did in high school sports.
Justin Van Berkom:
Justin Van Berkom is a newer comic on the scene who's making big waves! His hilarious takes on every day things and plain absurdity make him a crowd favorite!
