Join us for a full weekend of sidesplitting comedy! Friday night’s headliner Tommy Ryman grew up with a new-age, folk singing mother and a traditional, Lutheran insurance-agent father.

Join us for a full weekend of sidesplitting comedy! A veteran performer and an extremely funny guy, Saturday’s headliner C. Willi Myles has the gift of connecting people with each other through humor and storytelling that everyone can relate to with his stories about growing up in the south and acclimating to the cold of Minnesota. Referred to as "America's Everyday Comedian," his hilarious down-to-earth performance will convince you that Willi is truly comedy at its best!
