This Entire Operation Runs on Talent, Passion, and Curds.

Show Host. Co-Producer.

Andy looooooves Applebee’s. He also loves culinary decor and doing his own hair. His primary goal is to bring back the Sizzler brand, and to bring back “cut. it. out.” on the LHN stage as made famous by Joey Gladstone on Full House. In his freetime, Andy likes to paint small pewter figurines of mythical creatures, especially fairys and dragon-swans. Sometimes he misses deadlines set by the web design team to provide a headshot and create a bio. Oh, and he’s the host.

Performer. Writer. Animator.

Kirk is a writer, humorist, standup comedian, actor, animator and political cartoonist. A UWEC grad, he’s called Eau Claire home (again) since 2020.

He’s been interviewed on the CBS Evening News and published in The New York Times, Washington Post, Los Angeles Times, Politico, Forbes.com, Glamour, The Onion, and hundreds of other media outlets.

Writer

Ami grew up in Western Wisconsin but spent significant time working overseas. She realized her true calling wasn’t in staff meetings but on stage, where her jokes are slightly better received. She often practices jokes on her dog—who has never once laughed, not even politely. By day, she works in the non-profit sector; by night, she’s frantically memorizing lines she definitely meant to learn earlier.

Performer. Writer.

Wayne was born on Christmas Eve, probably in a manger-adjacent stable, but definitely in Midwest Wisconsin. He is a graduate of UW Eau Claire and a dropout of several sports. Wayne is an experienced stage performer and musician, a voice actor, a comedy writer, and has been a stand-up comic for over 10 years. His stories of fatherhood, observational takes on modern life, and ability to tell absurd stories and jokes with a sharp wit are fun, dynamic, and exceptionally engaging. As a stand-up, Wayne plays clubs and corporate events throughout the Midwest.

Performer. Writer.

Mackenzie (Kenzie) Decker, born and raised in Eau Claire, is thrilled to be bringing late-night comedy to her community. She’s been chasing laughs for as long as she can remember. As a kid, Kenzie was always doing voices, putting on dramatic bits, and finding any excuse to be the center of attention. That love for performance led her to theater and competitive dance throughout her adolescence, where she learned how powerful (and fun) it can be to entertain an audience.

This project is the result of collaboration, and community, and Kenzie is endlessly grateful to be a part of this team and to share in some local laughs.

Performer. Head Writer.

Adam moved to the Eau Claire area in 2021 to start a new engineering job.  His partner was born and raised here so it was a sort of homecoming for them and a new adventure for Adam.  He absolutely loves the Chippewa Valley.  Eau Claire is where he began improv, stand-up, and sketch comedy.  The friends Adam’s made and the support he’s found in the Chippewa Valley are irreplaceable. 

Performer. Writer.

Sarah poked her nose around the Chippewa Valley as a newspaper journalist for seven years and now mostly hangs out in her adoptive hometown of Eau Claire. She enjoys local community theater and most recently performed in Menomonie Theater Guild's A Midsummer Night's Dream and Brewery Nønic's Rosa and Blanca. Catch her vibing at the public library or looking for cool birds in the woods.

Performer. Writer.

Jordan Weimer is a comedy performer and writer from the the mean streets of the north suburbs of Chicago IL. A FIB in the land of cheese and beer. He’s acclimating and sorry for cutting you off on the road. Old habits die hard. He studied improv, acting and comedy writing at Second City Chicago, The Groundlings Theater, and Upright Citizen’s Brigade in LA.

Web Design and Conspiracy Truthist

Dan prefers his comedy in hand written letters delivered by courier. The pace of the modern world has left him wondering “did people really once spend 7 weeks traveling across the Atlantic?" Even with Netflix, HBO Max, Hulu + Live TV, Apple, Peacock, Paramount, Disney + ESPN, there isn’t enough content to satiate even the average content consumers apetite?” This has led Dan to believe in many conspiracy truths revolving around aliens and their direct involvement with propagating what we now call “Earth.” He also forgets that as Producer and Host, Andy has edit access to this bio section.
