Comedy at Proof

At 19 years old, Aidan McCluskey gave up on his associate’s degree and began his comedy career. Four months after his first open mic, he won Acme’s Funniest Person Contest, becoming the youngest winner in the contest’s history. After taking a short sabbatical to join a pyramid scheme in Las Vegas, Aidan returned to Minneapolis in 2021 and quickly rose to the top of the local scene. He is now a regular at Acme Comedy Company and The House of Comedy. He’s since featured for headliners such as Sean Patton, Michael Rapaport, and tours with Nick Mullen. He’s been a guest on the Adam Friedland Show and hosts his own semi-regular podcast, Smoke Show. You can find him headlining a random bar in the middle of nowhere.

Blaise Kautzman, a fresh face in comedy. A regular at The Cellar in Fargo, ND and Boss’ Comedy Club; Blaise’s charm and humorous observations make him a favorite in the Coen Brother’s favorite city. He’s performed throughout North Dakota, South Dakota, Minnesota and is always exploring new territories (and the local dive bars he’s performing at). He brings a fun energy to the stage and is guaranteed to make you laugh!
