Comedian Bio’s for the Night:
Host Aaron Clark is a Milwaukee comic who basks in absurdity and character work. Seriously, even he doesn’t know who he is sometimes. He never shies away to poke fun at things, mainly his own day-to-day life. Aaron’s worked at venues spanning the Midwest and opened for comedic greats such as Robert Kelly, Jamie Kennedy, Chris Porter, Salma Zaky and Colum Tyrrell.
Guest Feature Joseph Christopher performs comedy all over the IL/WI brat belt; he takes mustard and sauerkraut. He delights crowds with sharp, concise jokes and a lovable grin. He recently cried during an episode of Bar Rescue.
Main Feature Jared Porter is a Madison based stand-up by way of South Carolina and Mississippi. He has opened for Shane Torres, Phil Hanley, Jeremy Piven, and others at comedy clubs throughout the Midwest, and has been a finalist in Madison’s Funniest Comic competition. His comedy and general worldview is informed by being a southern redneck learning how to fit-in in the Midwest. Talking about his unique life perspective that spans the deep south to cheesehead country, Jared’s observational comedy picks on everything around him, including himself.
Headliner Sasha Rosser’s comedy has delighted audiences around the globe at venues including Zanies Chicago, Zanies Nashville, Laugh Factory: Chicago, the Milwaukee Improv, Gotham Comedy Club, Second City, and Tokyo Comedy Bar. In 2023, Sasha was a finalist in Madison’s Funniest Comic and was featured on the front page of the Wisconsin State Journal for her work as a comedian and producer. In 2024, she was voted “Best Comedian” in Madison Magazine’s Best of Madison and was selected as a finalist for Destination Madison’s “Rising Star Award”. Sasha is a recurring face on the “Comedians You Should Know” (Chicago and NYC) and “Best of the Midwest” (Comedy on State) showcases, and has opened for headliners Matteo Lane, Shane Torres, Gianmarco Soresi, and Dave Attell. Her debut comedy album, “Dirty Nerd”, shot to #1 on iTunes shortly after its release in August of 2024.
