CLEAN JOKES FOR REGULAR FOLKS + AFTER DARK SHOW!
2023-08-26 18:00 - 22:30 | Boss Comedy Club – Tea, 215 S Main Ave, Tea, SD, 57064, United States
The ‘Clean Jokes for Regular Folks’ comedy tour is a nationally-touring stand-up comedy show produced by Denver-based comedians Edward Bell, Austin Black and Ben Dailey. The show features only clean comedy, meaning no use of curse words or uncomfortable topics. Since the show only includes clean comedy, does that mean the jokes are going to be corny? Absolutely not. Edward, Austin and Ben talk about funny personal stories, interesting observations, and silly thoughts that are relatable and entertaining for everyone.
Edward Bell is a stand up comedian originally from rural eastern Iowa, now living in Colorado. He is a regular at the Comedy Works in Denver. He has written for the Hard Times. He has been featured in the High Plains Comedy Festival, the Boston Comedy Festival, and Alaska’s B4UDie Comedy Festival. He has had the pleasure of sharing the stage with big names like Nick Thune, Adam Cayton-Holland, and Steph Tolev. He used to live in a van, but now he doesn’t. There were too many complaints.
Austin Black is a comedian originally from Iowa and now resides in Denver, Colorado. No one cares that in his six years of performing he has performed in multiple comedy festivals such as Denver Fringe, Floodwater, Green Gravel, and finished top five in the “Funniest Person in Iowa Contest” at Penguin’s Comedy Club. He was also a finalist in the Clean Comedy Contest at Comedy Works. Austin is not a winner. Shortly before moving to Denver, he had the opportunity to open for Theo Von. Austin’s parents have described his comedy as “I wish he would’ve graduated college.”
Originally from the East Coast, Ben Dailey got his comedy start in Denver, CO. After living abroad and struggling to navigate a new country and a different language, Ben figured that telling jokes in front of a crowd probably couldn’t be any more embarrassing than accidentally telling a stranger on the street that he was pregnant. His comedy ranges from silly thoughts, stories of his childhood, and awkward situations that happen in his daily life. Ben has performed in comedy clubs and venues all across the Midwest. He was also a finalist on the show “Am I Funny?”; a made-up comedy competition held in the basement of his parent’s house.

Wielding a one-of-a-kind, piano-powered roots-pop sound, the Claudettes merge earthy blues and soul with pop hooks and punk spirit, writing an intriguing new chapter in American roots music. Pianist/songwriter Johnny Iguana formed the Claudettes with drummer Michael Caskey, exciting listeners with the barrelhouse bravura of their 2013 debut “Infernal Piano Plot…HATCHED!” Another Yellow Dog Records release followed in 2015 featuring Nigerian-American singer Yana: “No Hotel.” Vocalist Berit Ulseth joined the band for two more releases on Yellow Dog Records: “Pull Closer to Me: Live in the Piano Room” (2017) and “Dance Scandal at the Gymansium” (2018, helmed by Grammy-winning Black Keys producer Mark Neill).
A new Claudettes era began when the band moved to Forty Below Records and released the acclaimed 2020 album “High Times in the Dark” (produced Grammy winner Ted Hutt) and 2022’s “The Claudettes Go Out!,” another collaboration with Hutt, with mixing by renowned producer Kevin Killen (U2, Elvis Costello, David Bowie). Now, the Claudettes continue to evolve as they introduce a breathtaking new vocalist from Texas, Rachel Williams. Expect new music, videos and lots of tour dates in 2023!

MICHAEL PALASCAK - FARGO
2023-10-22 16:30 - 20:00 | Boss Comedy Club – Fargo, 228 Broadway North, Fargo, ND, 58102, United States
Michael Palascak is a comedian who grew up in Indiana and now lives in LA. He performed on both The Late Late Show with James Corden and The Late Show with Stephen Colbert in the same year. He has over 1 million views on YouTube. In addition, his resume includes A Little Late with Lilly Singh, The Tonight Show, Letterman, Craig Ferguson, Conan, has a Comedy Central Half Hour special, and was a Top 5 Finalist on Last Comic Standing where one judge claimed, “My first impression of Michael was a great likability. This is a guy that could star in a sitcom.” Michael’s likability allows him to relate to his audiences in a real way which sets up the huge laughs he gets from his sharp, personal material. Consistently writing and performing, this summer Michael released both a new album— The Internet Live through 800 Pound Gorilla and a new stand-up special on the Dry Bar app— 1984. Available for free streaming. Drew Hunt of The Chicago Reader wrote about Michael, “In a lot of ways, he represents the ideal antidote to the sort of unbridled cynicism that pervades much of contemporary stand-up.” Michael’s optimism continues in the new National Lampoon series — The Bright Side where he takes a positive stance on a negative topic streaming on YouTube. http://www.michaelpalascak.com
