Chris Barnes with Luke Pauling
Barnes can be best described as a high-energy comic that will take an audience and keep them laughing as he interprets his experiences of life. Barnes has worked and laughed with such people as John Mendoza, JJ Jimmy Walker, Andrew Dice Clay, Sinbad, Bill Cosby, and many others. It's no surprise Barnes has become a national headliner, working in such clubs as Dangerfield's in New York City; Rascal's in New Jersey; Zanies in Chicago; Chaplin's in Detroit and Comedy Cafe in Milwaukee.
Luke Pauling
Luke Pauling is a Minneapolis-based software engineer who in early 2022 was just looking for an excuse to leave his apartment. Cue to today, he’s gone from appreciating stand up comedy from the sidelines to constantly writing and rewriting jokes on his bosses dime (and will continue to do so as long as no one tells on him). Luke’s been able to find humor in digging through the awkward moments of his childhood and Catholic upbringing, and can be found sharing those less-than-stellar experiences all around the Twin Cities.
