JASON SCHOMMER:

"Jason is funny, clever, smart, and on his way to the big time!" - Louie Anderson, Emmy Award Winning Comedian and Legend.

"Nobody tells a better story than Jason Schommer. A long-time opener for the legendary Louie Anderson, Schommer is a multi-layered talent who combines stand-up, storytelling, acting, and improv to create a unique experience every time he is on stage. Jason is a true performer in every sense of the word, and one of the most engaging personalities in all avenues of Twin Cities comedy." - Patrick Strait, MN Comedy.

Jason Schommer is a stand-up comedian and storyteller who spent two years as the opening act for comedy icon Louie Anderson in Las Vegas and toured with Louie regularly.

As a stand-up comic, Jason has performed all over the USA as well as Canada and for the US Military in Japan. Jason's sharp wit and spur of the moment playfulness keeps the audience on the edge of their seat with crazy and absurd "is-this-really-happening" stories to jokes with unexpected twists and turns and off-the-cuff refs. The laughs come fast and furious as Jason mines everyday life, turning the seemingly mundane and routine into comedy gold.

A regular performer at The Moth, Jason has won numerous Story Slam competitions and was invited to perform at the GrandSlams at the Fitzgerald Theater in St. Paul (2016, 2023) and the Guthrie Theater (2018) and at the Pantages Theater (2022).

Most recently, Jason went viral on TikTok by starring in a video with Dave Ryan from KDWB and hitting over 5.4 million views.

MICHAEL SHYNES:
Michael Shynes is a Midwest-born singer-songwriter with a Platinum Record in Poland. A self-taught musician from Little Falls, MN, Michael chased an unlikely dream and built a career out of pure hustle and soulful songwriting. While Michael’s music may be difficult to define—often oscillating from folk to pop to R&B to country and back again—the unifying thread is his authenticity. His music never strives to be anything less than genuine. Blending shades of multiple genres over an acoustic and full-band landscape, his songs are rich with lyrical depth rarely paired with such mainstream appeal.

What truly sets Michael apart is his captivating voice. With a range and falsetto that are nothing short of mesmerizing, his acoustic finger-picking style provides the perfect warmth for his soulful lyrics. Michael quickly gained attention as a standout local opener for national acts and even toured with Platinum Recording Artist Howie Day. From humble beginnings, he has grown into one of the most sought-after performers in the Midwest, regularly playing to standing-room-only crowds. Michael Shynes recently released the full-length album “Small Town Revival” to rave reviews.
