Patrick Garrity with Luke Swanson and Lefty Crumpet

Lefty Crumpet is a 25-year-old, Minneapolis-based, ethnically ambiguous, joke-slinging, musical funnyman with social anxiety from Riverside, California. He lifts your hearts and minds with bizarre and clever jokes and songs that comment on the difficulties of relationships, the origins of human endeavor, and also Doordash. He injects rhythm and melody into his performances in such a way that audience members often say to him, “I normally hate musical comedy, but that was awesome.”He was a finalist in the 2022 Funniest Person With a Day Job Competition at Rick Bronson’s House of Comedy at the Mall of America. Recently, he has opened for Eddie Ifft, Nathan Timmel, and Chelsea Hood. In 2023, he co-founded the comedy duo known as Freshly Squeezed Comedy, where he co-hosts and co-produces standup comedy shows that bring fresh talent and seasoned comedic professionals to venues all across Minnesota.

An affable storyteller and seasoned comedian, Luke jokes about old friends, old jobs and all of the old cars that brought him here. Luke has been featured at EPIC Fest in Chicago, Turnbuckle Comedy and Music Festival at Codfish Hollow and GAS Feed & Seed Festival in Davenport, Iowa.
