Hecklefest™ Comics

Only comics who can handle hecklers and who are naturally funny have been chosen as Hecklefest™ comedians. The comics for Hecklefest™ are well-seasoned veterans of the comedy club circuit. Their acts have been very well received in clubs across the country. Therefore, even if heckling is kept to a minimum, the club and audience are guaranteed a great show.

Here are some of the comics who have been or are currently part of the Hecklefest™ roster:

Bob Larson - The creator of Hecklefest™ and the ringleader of this motley assortment of comics. Bob is a 20 year veteran of standup comedy. Bob is no stranger to battle. Before starting his standup career, Bob fought in brutal "Toughman" competitions around the world. He's what you'd get if you gave Van Damme a brain.

Fighting style: Down and dirty. Like bare-knuckles brawling, only with words.

   

Craig Allen - Hecklefest™ veteran. Craig Allen's comedy has been described as "bizarre, yet intelligent." His twisted logic would make a Vulcan cry with laughter.

Fighting style: Sniper. While other comics deal with hecklers using a rapid-fire machine-gun style response, Craig prefers cold, calculated shots. Like a sniper, he'll wait for the perfect shot and take it. Your friends will be laughing hysterically at you, before you even realize you've been destroyed.

   

John Kunik - Hecklefest™ veteran. A professional actor and director for 20 years, John used to spontaneity, having performed in the interactive comedy "Tony and Tina's Wedding". John's standup resulted in him being a finalist in the 2002 Twin Cities Laff-Off.

Fighting style: Drunken Bear. John's presence alone is enough to deter most hecklers. And like a bear, if you provoke this comedian, you'd better start running.

   

Tim Mitchell - Hecklefest™ veteran. Dark and bitter, like a good chocolate, or a premium ale, he appeals to the masses and the smart folks too. Seen through Tim's jaundiced eye, the mundane transforms into the hysterically bizarre. Tim is a regular on PBS' "Mental Engineering".

Fighting style: Varies. A master of dealing with hecklers, Tim can rampage like a Norse god, or play with hecklers like a cat playing with a mouse.

   

Pat McCarthy - Hecklefest™ veteran. If it's true that the meek shall inherit the earth, then Pat McCarthy's in for one helluva payday. Expect smart comedy from this Nervous Nelly. Oddly, Pat cannot be photographed.

Fighting style: Rodeo Clown. Pat's nervous, quiet demeanor is a ruse. Pat's gutsy enough to goad the crowd into heckling him.

   

Rox Tarrant - Comedy Diva. Rox is a Midwest favorite, and produces her own comedy shows across the country.

Fighting style: Cornered animal. Rox's perkiness is dropped as soon as she's attacked.

   

Holly Henson - Dubbed 'ruthlessly funny' by the Minneapolis Star Tribune, Holly addresses modern day issues from a 'sexist-feminist' point of view.

Fighting style:  Gloria Steinem on steroids.
