Therapy and Politics: An Evening with Jesse the Shrink and Robert Baril
Robert Baril
Hailed by the Minneapolis Star Tribune as "the sharpest political commentator on the Twin Cities comedy scene", Robert is always mining the news of the day, tackling all the hot button issues to fuel his informed, take-no-prisoners style of comedy. A mainstay of the Minneapolis and St Paul comedy scene for years and regular at Acme Comedy Club, he has released four comedy albums to date: “Sex and Politics” (2017), “TMI” (2019), “2020” (2021), & “Not the Time” (2022). He was also featured in the Amazon Prime documentary “I Need You to Kill”.
Robert has opened for Louie Anderson (RIP), Tim Dillon, Roy Wood Jr., Michelle Wolf, and Chad Daniels.
Jesse The Shrink
What do you get when you mix a shrink & comedian? This guy! Jesse is a bona fide licensed therapist & standup comic who gives audiences a sneak peek into the inner-workings & often hilarious experiences of a mental health professional. Whether he’s talking about navigating virtual therapy sessions during an apocalypse or just trying to figure out what to tell drunk people he does for a living, one thing’s sure: after hearing his stories you’ll never see therapy (or your therapist) the same again!
Jesse is the producer & host of Jesse The Shrink’s Midlife Crisis Show, the St Paul Comedy All-Stars Show, Friday Night Comedy! at Gambit Brewing, the 420 Standup Comedy Show, & St Paul Art Crawl Comedy Night. He’s also co-founder of Freshly Squeezed Comedy, founder of the Funniest Person in St Paul contest, & runs a weekly comedy open mic at Gambit Brewing. Jesse was a 2024 Funniest Person With A Day Job finalist at House of Comedy in Mall of America & has been a guest on the KQRS Morning Show & Tom Barnard Podcast.
