Comedy Corner Underground

We can’t always promise what you’ll see at the Men With Hats show, but we can guarantee what you WON’T see.

The same old crap.



Men Without Hats is an unconventional comedy show at the Twin Cities’ most unconventional comedy club. The first Thursday of every month, some of the best stand-ups in town take the stage to perform anything but their regular acts. They may even do it sitting down. Or backwards. A guy actually did that once*—it killed! 

So why would a club dedicated to the art of stand-up promote a show featuring anything but?

Look at it this way. If you like the regulars you see at our weekly Friday and Saturday shows, then here’s your chance to see them at their most original and creative best. If you’ve seen a show here and hated it, this one’s guaranteed to be more to your liking!

And in the ultimate break from convention, it’s absolutely free. Even hats are optional.

Because that’s what Men With Hats is all about.**

Breaking all the rules. Exactly once a month.

The show is free, all seating is first come, first serve. The show starts promptly at 8pm and runs about 90 minutes. 

*The guy was Chris Knutson. He did his whole act backwards, and won an award for it.***

**That, and to promote the Men With Hats podcast, also hosted by Jesse Towler and Justin Colucci.

***Okay, it was the Minneapolis Comedy Death Squad Award (aka the Reapie), but it still counts.

Every so often the Comedy Corner Underground has an event for the Minneapolis
Comedy Scene. This is one of those things.

 
In the long running theme of making fun of things they like the best and brightest comics from around the twin cities will be here to rip bill a new mouth to feed his fat face with. (Cause you see, Bill is a heavy set man, and there may be jokes about his weight. The Dais includes:

Roast Master - Andy Brynildson
Shannon Thompson
Tommy Thompson 
Mike Linden
Chris Maddock 
Justin Caesar
Phil Kolas
Zach Coulter
Shannan Paul
 
Show starts at 8pm. We always run out of seats for these shows, so get down early for a seat. Everyone goes to Grumpies after the show! 

Gus Lynch

Your headliner also got his start at the Comedy Corner Underground, and always brings his best when onstage at his comedic place of birth.

Before he began telling jokes, Gus was a film actor of very little renown, amassing over two dozen feature film credits, largely in terrible movies you should never see (Baby Geniuses II, Hellraiser V, Halloween VIII). BY sheer chance, he also snuck in some kinda cool ones without roman numerals behind the titles. (Saving Silverman, I Spy, North Country). 


Jeff Pfoser

This newcomer is already making big waves on the comedy scene. A charismatic family man whose stories take surprise twists and turns, Pfoser walks the likeable-vs.-offensive tightrope with true panache, and his material will make you laugh or cringe (sometimes both). 

Either way, he’ll get a big reaction from you and you’ll want to hang out with him after the show. (Pants optional.)
