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.
