Comedy legend & revered late night host Conan O'Brien has been the epitome of what it means to be a champion for stand-up comedians & comedy writers over the past three decades. As part of his previous late night television iterations via Late Night, The Tonight Show & his self-titled show on TBS, Conan has brought on hundreds & hundreds of stand-up comedians on his shows to give them a chance to spotlight their comedy chops, where he's played a pivotal part in breaking today's hottest comics.
And since leaving late night, he's continued to grow his Team Coco media empire where he produces a plethora of comedy podcasts including his own Conan O'Brien Needs A Friend as well as Where Everybody Knows Your Name with Ted Danson & Woody Harrelson, Parks And Recollection with Jim O'Heir & Greg Levine, Literally! with Rob Lowe, 3Q's with Andy Richter & more.

Beth Stelling
Comedian Beth Stelling takes the stage at Minneapolis’ Varsity Theater to talk sex, drugs, and babies in her hilarious debut special Girl Daddy. Musing on the ways that sexual pleasure is different for men and women, Stelling’s not ashamed to admit that she always thinks her massage therapist is falling for her – and is not afraid to call male comedians out for making lazy #MeToo jokes. Stelling also shares her takes on being a relationship person, having reverse body dysmorphia, alternative wedding traditions, her relationship with her Orlando-based actor father whose personality is “Fox News,” talking sex with her may-as-well-be-virginal mom, and how her sisters just love to make babies.
Gary Gulman
Comedian, actor, and best-selling author Gary Gulman offers up his hilarious insights on a range of topics – from growing up poor to pretentious suffixes – all with a generous helping of his inventive humor and absurdism. Reflecting on his eccentric Jewish American family, Gulman chronicles his childhood experiences with free school lunch programs and questionable dental care, as well as incisive swipes at billionaire-ism. With thoughtfulness and empathy, Born On 3rd Base sheds light on the performer’s unique point-of-view on both lighthearted and serious subjects.
Rory Scovel
Rory Scovel takes the stage at Minneapolis’ Goodale Theater to offer his observations on such disparate subjects as religion, sex, mushrooms, vaccines, parenting an eight-year-old, and much more in his fourth stand-up special. Over the course of his 70-minute set, the South Carolina native interweaves improvised moments with meta-commentary on the subtle art of stand-up as he riffs on some of the most awkward aspects of seemingly taboo yet universal topics – all with a dose of his amiable southern charm. Sharp and subversive, Religion, Sex and a Few Things In Between is uniquely honest, highly relatable, and hilariously unpredictable.
