ABOUT THE COMEDIANS

NATE ABSHIRE

Nate Abshire started performing comedy in Minneapolis a thousand years ago, in 2009. The following year, he finished runner-up in the “Funniest Person in the Twin Cities” contest. In 2012 he ventured west and was a semifinalist in the Seattle International Comedy Competition. In 2013 Nate performed at Laughfest in their “Best of the Midwest” contest finishing runner-up, and by this point, became very tired of losing comedy contests. He gave it another try in 2014 on NBC’s “Last Comic Standing,” but again did not win. Since then, he’s opened for some of the best comics working today, whose names you would be impressed by hearing, AND finally won a comedy contest in 2020 – The Coast to Coast Roast. In 2021, Nate released his debut album, “Coming in Hot,” on 800lb Gorilla Records. It has won at least one award and is quite good, honestly. Audiences around the country love his sarcastic wit, keen writing, and playful stage presence. Nate currently lives in Minneapolis with his cat.

Ryan has performed in The 10,000 Laughs Comedy Festival, Limestone Comedy Festival, and Cream City Comedy Festival, was a finalist in the 2017 Funniest Person in Minneapolis Contest, and was a 2018 Growler Magazine Comic To Watch. In addition to being a successful stand-up comedian, Ryan cohosts the We Cool? The podcast was a producer for The 10,000 Laughs Comedy Festival from 2018-2020. He is whimsical, fast-paced, and takes a fairly conventional approach to joke telling that feels anything but traditional.
