LAUGH LOCAL: Vol II

Other Beer, Wine, Spirits Other Food Comedy

What’s Happening?

Nobody knows how to roast a place like the people who live in it.


Laugh Local: Vol II brings together a fresh crew of Cedar Rapids’ sharpest comics for a night of hometown hilarity, regional trauma, and deeply relatable chaos. These comedians don’t need fame or frills—they’ve got punchlines born from potholes, dive bars, and small-town weirdness.


🎤 Headliner: Dylan Wenzel – Nerdy exterior, savage interior. Dylan looks like he just got expelled from Hogwarts, but his humor is pure dark magic—dry, devastating, and brutally funny. If you’ve ever laughed through a mental breakdown, you’re in good company.


🔪 Alex Cook – Subtle, sarcastic, and dangerously clever, Alex slices through daily life with sharp observations and a healthy dose of cynicism.

🌀 Corey Chestnut – Small-town strange with a 9-to-5 and a deeply odd sense of humor, Corey blends absurdity with everyday struggle. He's doing alright. We think.

🌞 Hosted by Summer Dawn – Guiding the chaos with charm, wit, and probably a half-finished drink in hand.

Come support your scene. Come laugh at your city. Come see why local comics hit hardest—because they know exactly where to aim.


🎟️ Get your tickets now—before your cousin’s ex snags the last one.


EARLY SHOW 6PM-7:30PM | Doors at 5PM

LATE SHOW 8:30PM-10PM | Doors at 8PM

Age 21+
