Ira Ford, from Maryland, was a lyricist before he followed his passion of comedy. He was always amazed at how a comedian could hold so many people’s attention. Now based in Minneapolis, he is an open book who talks about life experiences ranging from drugs to family. He unapologetically says what he thinks. His unique and hilarious stories earned him a semifinalist finish at The Funniest Person with a Day Job Contest at Rick Bronson’s House of Comedy, and had his own wildly popular monthly showcase which he hosted and curates “Laughs and Legends” at Lakes and Legends Brewery in downtown Minneapolis. He is currently a paid regular emcee at the hottest comedy club in Minnesota Acme Comedy Company.
Ell-Emaj Hill, an up & coming Minneapolis based stand up. Who spent much of his first year in comedy spinning the blocks of the Seattle comedy scene. The observational storyteller went from open mics, to featuring to headlining, while also winning the Sessions In Place Stand Up competition. Now he has returned home to join in the battle against landlocked nepotism. Will he prevail? Or nah.
Mahdi Gotti is an up and coming stand-up comedian with a story telling style of comedy from North Minneapolis . He is a regular at MNCS that takes place at the Spring Street Tavern. When Mahdi is not on stage, you can find him applying for jobs he’s 100% not qualified for. Look them up!
Daryl Horner from Minneapolis MN by way of Daleville Alabama, uses nearly 30 years in entertainment to give a varied performance every night. No two shows are ever alike but every one is a mix of wholesome nostalgia combined with the “for mature audiences only” antics of a man who missed the bus to adulthood.
John X Yo, check it: Meet John X, the comedic boss of the block. With a rap sheet of wild escapades and a knack for flipping life’s struggles into straight-up jokes, he s the don of humor. Roll with him and prepare to crack up, no cap!
