Headliner: Donny Townsend

 

Donny Townsend is a comedian. Born and raised in Davenport, Iowa, Donny has been fortunate enough to work with legends like Doug Stanhope, Emo Phillips, Mark Normand and Kyle Kinane. His comedy – described as visceral, voracious, and casually violent – skewers the status quo.

 

Featuring: Mike Lucas, Todd Baysinger, and Matt Anderson

 

Mike Lucas, from Iowa City, blends sharp wit with Midwest charm to deliver humor that’s both relatable and refreshingly original. In 2024, he took third place in the Funniest Person in Iowa contest, quickly becoming a must-see act. With his knack for turning everyday moments into laugh-out-loud stories, Mike is making waves across the comedy circuit. AI wrote this bio. He’s not really like this but that part about the contest is true.

 

Todd Baysinger has been a staple of the Dubuque comedy community for over 7 years. Some people even refer to him as “The Godfather” of Dubuque comedy(he hates it). He has worked with comedy legends such as April Macie, Emo Phillips, Sean Patton, April Macie and Tyler Fischer. Todds brand of comedy is both erratic and enthralling with a mixture of light hearted and dark material to keep you wondering “what the hell is wrong with this dude!?” Todd’s a sweet boy and just wants you to like him.
