This ‘highbred’ comedy event embraces MN cannabis culture by purposely blurring the lines between audience members and performers with an open pre-show smoke-out on the Twin Cities largest cannabis friendly patio at The Hook.

Twelve (12) ‘contender’ comics will compete

telling prewritten and improvisational material. Audience members will hold their lit phones up to judge the winners of each round. Join us in person to see how it all unfolds.
