Robert Baril & Steve Gillespie | Stand-Up Comedy

Hailed by the Minneapolis Star Tribune as "the sharpest political commentator on the Twin Cities comedy scene", Robert Baril mines the news of the day to fuel his informed, biting style of comedy.  With four albums out now (Sex and Politics, TMI, 2020, and Not the Time) and in clubs across the country, Baril tackles all the hot button issues with his take no prisoners style.

Additionally, Robert also delves into his own ever-evolving life as a step grandpa for bonus material. He was featured in the Amazon Prime documentary 'I Need You to Kill' and cohosts the comedy jokewriting podcast Comedy Mainline featuring big name comics from all over the country.

Steven Gillespie has appeared on CONAN, Amazon Prime’s “Inside Joke”, and FOX’s  “Laughs - All Stars”. Gillespie’s second comedy album “Alive on State” reached #1 on iTunes Comedy Charts and hit the top 10 on the Billboard charts. His 3rd comedy album “Liminal Bliss” was released in 2022 with Helium Comedy Records; reaching #2 on the iTunes Comedy Charts, so he is getting worse. Gillespie’s act a is a slaphappy balance of aggression and absurdity, coupled with a delightfully pushy persona that has earned him spots at some of the best festivals in country including the Bridgetown Comedy Festival, Boston Comedy Festival, 10k Laughs, and High Plains Comedy Festival in Denver, CO. He was named a finalist in CMT’s Next Big Comic, runner up for Best of the Midwest at Gilda’s Laughfest, and his debut album “Steve Fever” was named a top 10 comedy album of the year by ComedyReviews.com. Gillespie has also had the pleasure of sharing the stage with some of the best comics in the country, including opening appearances for Rory Scovel, Dave Attell, Tom Segura, Kyle Kinnane, Tom Green, Harland Williams, Doug Benson, Emo Phillips, and Gilbert Gottfried.
