Jon Bennett: AMERICAN’T
Wednesday, Aug. 20th @ 7pm

A wild, hilarious, & heartfelt story of family, failure, & getting arrested in America. “Masterful, hilarious & heart breaking. AMERICAN’T is a Triumph.” - Broadway World "A Masterpiece ★★★★★" - Fringe Feed

Why you should see it:
This one has a stand-up feel to it. Some of the stories are equal parts hilarious and crude. However, it’s great storytelling, too, and tugs at your heartstrings multiple times throughout. Jon Bennett performs all over the world, and it shows.

Jewelry Power Elite
Thursday, Aug. 21st @ 7pm

Lauren Anderson, a comedian who wears jewelry for sport, recounts personal stories about her life and the jewelry she wore while she lived and survived it. A celebration of whimsy and courage over the mundane.

Why you should see it:
If there was a Mt. Rushmore of Twin Cities comedy, Lauren Anderson would be on it. She’s a veteran of the Brave New Workshop and is one of the best improvisers in town. This is her first solo show, and it does not disappoint.

A Good Cancer to Have
Friday, Aug. 22nd @ 7pm

This year cancer tried to kill Sam. This is the show he wrote about it.

Why you should see it:
This is the guy who did the horse show last year. Did you see it? It was called A Horse Walks Out Onto Stage and Dies. It was as crazy as it sounds…and also incredible. Sam Sweere is an excellent performer and this show is personal, hilarious, heartwarming, and a reminder how talented the young man is.

What We Wore
Saturday, Aug. 23rd @ 2pm

In this one-woman show, Gabi (of @gabis_vintage) digs into her family's vintage clothing to connect with the past, explore womanhood, and share the WILD world of life online. Historical, humorous, and heartfelt.

Why you should see it:
We saw this show because Gail, our Business Director, said she thought it sounded fun. And it was! Gabi Jones is a natural storyteller, and the way she weaves family and the past into the clothing items is fascinating. My wife saw this one and proclaimed it a “10 out of 10.”

Mind Reader
Saturday, Aug. 23rd @ 7pm

Mind Reader is not a show to simply watch, it’s an experience to be a part of. You will experience incredible feats of memory, discovery of new abilities, and of course, unbelievable mind reading.

Why you should see it:
This is the one for you if you enjoy card tricks, magic, and just generally having your mind blown. Steven Nicholas has an unbelievable memory, which he displays and then even passes on to you. It’s a nutty show that will leave you wondering how he did all of it. Do not miss.
