CANNED LAUGHTER: A Stand Up Comedy Showcase
August 16 @ 7:30 pm - 11:00 pm
Dual Citizen is bringing you a lineup of four local Twin Cities comics. The impressive group of talent are vastly different in style and demeanor, but unified by their skill of making whatever subject they set their mind to funny enough to spit your IPA. Ethan Pederson will be your host, drinking along with you at the show, opening up the night with some jokes, and setting the tone before bringing up three of the cities best and truly unique feature acts, back to back: Sam Schedler, James Stanley, and Emma Dalenberg.
Two shows! 7:30pm & 9:30pm / $20 ticket
Doors open 30 minutes before each show

Emma Dalenberg is a natural heavy hitter, measuring up at over six feet tall, approaches her sets with good vibes and a genuine love to connect with audiences of all backgrounds. She has taken her “big dawg” energy to venues across the world, from her Minnesota home, Acme Comedy Club, to theaters and clubs in Europe, and all the way to a cat populated stage in the back of a tattoo shop in Istanbul, Turkey.
