Friday Night Comedy at Gambit with Mike Lester and Lily Meyer

Overview

The popular Friday Night Comedy at Gambit Brewing returns for a second season! Last year we sold out several shows & featured some of the Twin Cities best comedic headliners. This year we're back & featuring not only more of our own homegrown talent but also headliners from lands far & yonder, such as ... Las Vegas!

To kick things off we're bringing in national headliner (and Minnesota's very own) Mike Lester! Mike delivers a performance crowds couldn’t forget even if they tried to. His eccentric storytelling has garnered him praise across the country & his album “It’s Not Delivery, It’s Mike Lester” debuted in the Top 10 on Apple Music's comedy charts.

Also joining in on the fun is Twin Cities favorite Lily Meyer, who began her comedy career in Boston & now lives in her hometown of Minneapolis. She performs regularly at Acme Comedy Club, the Comedy Corner Underground, Sisyphus Brewing, & Laugh Camp Comedy Club. Some people have thanked Lily for ‘finally saying what they have been feeling their entire lives’, and those people need help!

Finally host & producer Jesse The Shrink is a bona fide licensed therapist & standup comic who gives audiences a sneak peek into the inner workings & often hilarious experiences of a mental health professional. He's co-founder of Freshly Squeezed Comedy & produces Gambit Brewing Comedy shows as well as Jesse The Shrink's Midlife Crisis Show.

This show will also feature a special performance by the winner of Gambit's 2025 Funniest Person in St Paul contest, which will be determined in the Finale on Tuesday, September 2!
