November's headliner is Zach Peterson! Out of Omaha, Nebraska, after spending time in Chicago and Los Angeles, Zach has been called "one the funniest performers around” by Minneapolis’ CityPages, “A Premier Talent” by Omaha Magazine, and Kyle Kinane says “Zach is hilarious." Zach has made a name for himself by touring from Alaska to Florida for being "an affable oddball" with razor sharp jokes, headlining both clubs and festivals. He has worked with the likes of Tom Papa, Bobcat Goldthwait, Annie Lederman, Doug Benson and many more. In 2025 Zach was one of the few comedians featured on the Vans Warped tour. Zach has been selected for countless other festivals including the prestigious Laughing Skull Comedy Festival, Limestone Comedy Festival, 10,000 Laughs, Big Sky, and The High Plains Comedy Festival among others. Zach's last album "A List of Wet Celebrities" debuted at #1 on the Itunes Comedy Charts and has since surpassed one million streams on Spotify. It can also be heard in rotation on Sirius XM radio. The special of the same name produced by 4x3 productions, was released in 2024 on Youtube to thousands of views and rave reviews. Zach has been featured performing in "The Headliner" a feature length movie released on Amazon prime in 2025, a movie in which he also contributed to its writing. When in Omaha, Zach is a frequent guest on The Todd and Tyler radio show and he runs the wildly popular Omaha chapter of Don't Tell Comedy, along with other shows around town.
