MIKE MARVELL is a Wisconsin-born comedian who’s been doing stand-up professionally for more than 25 years — and annoying teachers with jokes for even longer. Back in high school, he told his guidance counselor he wanted to be an engineer. She looked at his grades and said, “That’s the funniest thing you’ve said all year… you should try comedy.” Turns out, she accidentally gave solid career advice.

Mike’s comedy is all about Midwest life: football, hunting, fishing, family chaos, and surviving marriage and kids with at least a little dignity left. He’s performed everywhere from churches to sw***er clubs, grade schools to colleges, country clubs to biker bars, and nursing homes to casinos… which, depending on the slot machine crowd, can feel pretty similar.

Easygoing and instantly relatable, Mike reminds audiences of that hilarious cousin at family parties, the neighbor who always has a story, or the brother-in-law who somehow turns every barbecue into a comedy special.

KRISTIN LYTIE is a comedian from Green Bay, Wisconsin who sharpened her comedy chops in the legendary Chicago stand-up scene — where surviving bad open mics and weird crowds basically counts as cardio. She was even named a “Comic to See” by the Chicago Tribune, which is a pretty classy way of saying, “Yeah, she’s really funny.”

Kristin has opened for comedy heavy-hitters like Eddie Pepitone, Bobcat Goldthwait, Brian Posehn, Kyle Kinane, and Laurie Kilmartin — basically the kind of lineup that makes comedians nervously reread their notes backstage.

Her comedy is rooted in justice, equality, and strong DIY ethics, proving you can care deeply about the world while still making people laugh hard enough to snort beer out their nose.
