Freshly Squeezed Comedy w/ Shannan Paul @ LTD Brewing in Hopkins

Freshly Squeezed Comedy is the high-energy, wacky standup duo of Lefty Crumpet & Jesse The Shrink. They book, produce, and perform in their own shows throughout the state of Minnesota. Lefty brings his silly songs & Jesse brings his unique perspectives as a licensed therapist (yes he really is a shrink & yes, that probably means he's analyzing you).
Joining them for this very special Freshly Squeezed show will be the fabulous Miss Shannan Paul, who is an acclaimed radio and television show host, auctioneer, podcaster, executive producer &...bona fide headlining comedian! In fact City Pages named her "Best Standup Comedian" (right before their doors shuttered for good, soooo technically..she'll hold that title for eternity!).

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!
