Featured Comedians:

Chris Maddock

From the land of sunkissed beer guts, Stillwater, MN, in the scenic St. Croix Valley, Chris Maddock is a gorgeous and classically styled stand up comedian, made of solid grapes-47% Comic, 19% Hot Waiter Guy, with the rest amounting to pure Country Music Legend. Chris performed in the 43rd Annual San Francisco Comedy Competition in 2018, with deep aromas of violet and cassis giving way to a leathery texture and a touch of charred beef. He’d do well in the Cellar. For 15 years beginning in 2003, Chris “Mad Dog” Maddock hosted the storied Death Comedy Jam, a weekly hub of MPLS comedy and subject of a documentary film, “Death’s Last Stand”. He recorded his first comedy album, Point of Entry, at the legendary Minneapolis rock ganglion First Avenue in the 7th St. Entry, and released it in 2012 on the Grammy Award winning Stand Up! Records. In 2014 Minneapolis weekly organ City Pages named him Stand Up Comic of the Year, and his 2nd record and special is being released in 2020 under the appellation Country Music Legend. He lives in Minneapolis with his son, Waylon, and his better half, who is also named Kryss, but spells it weird.

Ateh Ekinde

Armed with the casual confidence of an agent of chaos, this comedian brings a laid-back brand of foolishness to every stage. He’s here for a good time – and if the audience wants to join in on the fun, well, that’s cool too.

Luis Uz

Luis Uz is a Hispanic comic from the sleepy town of Montrose, Minnesota In his short time doing comedy, Luis has performed nationally, spreading awareness that being called “one of the good ones” is not an actual compliment. He co-hosts Good Ones: a comedy show with Elizabeth Selin.
