Comedian Bio's for the Night:
Host Owen Barr is an emerging comedian from Milwaukee who's making waves all across Wisconsin! Known for his engaging performances at the Comedy Cabin and numerous other venues throughout the state. Catch this rising star as he brings laughter and joy to audiences everywhere he goes!
Guest Feature Bryan Leconte hails from the Pacific Northwest and cuts his teeth in comedy in Northern Wisconsin bar shows before expanding to comedy clubs across the Midwest.

Main Feature Luise Noé is a Milwaukee comic, having made her way from Germany over Austin to the Midwest. She makes silly jokes about immigration, capitalism, and other girly stuff—imagine Elle Woods trapped in the psychology of a European soccer hooligan! In 2024, Luise was featured at comedy festivals like Red Clay, Limestone, and Big Diamond. She is a regular at the Laughing Tap and Improv in Milwaukee.
Headliner Raegan Niemela is a comedian and bar fly out of Milwaukee, Wisconsin. She has performed across the U.S. in some comedy clubs and lots of weird rooms that make you wonder if comedy should be happening there. Maybe you've seen her at a comedy festival such as the Milwaukee Comedy Festival, B4U Die in Anchorage, or High Planes in Denver. Or maybe you've seen her open for Steph Tolev, Jackie Kashian, Dan Soder, Kyle Kinane or Nicole Byer. None of those? Then you've probably just seen her nursing a Miller High Life in your local dive.
