Shyloh Blake is a Minneapolis-based stand-up comedian who turns life’s awkward moments into laugh-out-loud comedy gold, mostly because she seems to collect them like other people collect Pokemon cards, or happy meal toys, or whatever it is that people collect these days. With a sharp wit and warm delivery, she transforms cringeworthy moments into comedy, as if she meant for it all to play out that way.

She has opened for nationally touring comedians Jackie Fabulous and Samuel J. Comroe, and was featured in the “Next Up On Stage” series on MNComedy.com, which stated, “Her quick wit and warm delivery made Blake an instant hit.”

Shyloh performed in the 2024 Minnesota Fringe Festival, was selected for the 2023 10,000 Laughs Festival in Minneapolis, the 2023 Sno Jam Comedy Festival in Sioux Falls, and was a finalist in the 2022 Funniest Person With a Day Job contest at Rick Bronson’s House of Comedy at the Mall of America.

She’s also been interviewed by MPR News with Angela Davis, Twin Cities Live, KFAI Radio, and Voyage Minnesota magazine. Locally, she hosted the long-running Stand-Up Saloon at The Saloon in Minneapolis, and regularly performs at clubs throughout the Twin Cities and beyond.
