Comedian Bio’s for the Night:

Host Michael Cuske is a new and rising Milwaukee-based comedian, whose style is centered around personal stories and heavy judgement. He can also be seen as the host of the podcast Fat Chance Podcast every week!

Guest Feature Darrell Cochran Darrell Cochran has been told most of his life by family and friends that he should be a comedian, Darrell finally took the leap and signed his name last-minute at the first open mic he ever attended. Now the 29-year-old Milwaukee native entertains crowds with his dating woes and his perspective of the world as a mixed single guy. Darrell can be found making appearances at comedy events all around Milwaukee and the Midwest.

Main Feature Raegan Niemela wandered out of Upper Michigan’s wilderness a speechless, feral child – until some idiot put a microphone in her hand. Now she’s a Milwaukee based stand-up comedian & bar fly, with the liver to back it up. She’s grunted at audiences across the Midwest in clubs like The Laughing Tap, Comedy on State, The Milwaukee Improv, and Chicago’s Laugh Factory, among other venues. Though she’s now toilet trained, she still bites – just ask some of the headliners she’s opened for: Gareth Reynolds, Nick Vatterot, or Kyle Kinane.

Headliner Justin Leon is native Kansas City Comic, Justin has dedicated the last 20+years to his craft, traveling across the country and gaining new fans at every stop. His unique style stems not from focusing on our differences but rather our commonalities. Justin’s ability to find the funny in his experiences with life, love, and loss allows him to relate to, connect with, and capture any crowd. From the moment he walks on stage, Justin’s poise captivates the audience as he takes them on a comedic journey while expanding their frame of thought along the way, leaving the audience laughing, reflecting, and wanting more.
Justin’s comedy translates both nationally and internationally allowing him to perform in the top comedy clubs throughout the U.S. and Canada. Most recently, he was a semi-finalist in the Boston Comedy Festival and Seattle Comedy Competition. He has also been fortunate enough to perform for the troops in the Middle East on a tour dedicated to the U.S. armed forces in Iraq and Afghanistan.
