Freshly Squeezed Comedy with headliner Mike Lester at Lupulin Brewing

Freshly Squeezed Comedy is the high-energy, wacky standup duo of Lefty Crumpet & Jesse The Shrink. They book, produce, & 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 their third show at Lupulin Brewing will be headliner Mike Lester, whose eccentric storytelling has garnered him praise across the country. Mike's comedy album “It’s Not Delivery, It’s Mike Lester” debuted in the Top 10 on Apple Music & he was voted one of City Pages’ Artists of the Year. He was also featured on the sixth season of “Coming to the Stage” on Amazon Prime.

ABOUT OUR COMICS:

Mike Lester

Mike delivers a performance that crowds couldn’t forget even if they tried to. Whether it’s tales of feuding with his neighbors or anecdotes from his bizarre childhood, Mike’s eccentric storytelling has garnered him praise across the country…and gotten him run out of Glendive, MT.

His comedy album “It’s Not Delivery, It’s Mike Lester” debuted in the Top 10 of comedy albums on Apple Music and he was voted one of City Pages’ Artists of the Year. He was also featured on the sixth season of “Coming to the Stage” on Amazon Prime.

Jesse The Shrink

What do you get when you mix a shrink & comedian? This guy! 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! 

Jesse is the producer & host of a number of Twin Cities comedy shows including Jesse The Shrink’s Midlife Crisis Show, the St Paul Comedy All-Stars Show, Friday Night Comedy at Gambit Brewing, &  Comedy Night at Station 10. He’s also co-founder of Freshly Squeezed Comedy, creator of the Funniest Person in St Paul & Funniest Headliner contests, & runs a weekly comedy open mic at Gambit Brewing. 

Jesse won the 2024 Clear Water Comedy contest at The Plus in Eau Claire, WI, was a 2024 Funniest Person With A Day Job finalist at House of Comedy in Mall of America, & is a regular guest on the Tom Barnard Show.

Lefty Crumpet

Lefty is a Minnesota-based, ethnically-ambiguous, joke-slinging, musical funnyman with social anxiety from Riverside, California. This rising star was a finalist in the Funniest Person With a Day Job contest at Rick Bronson’s House of Comedy in the Mall of America, & is a co-founder of Freshly Squeezed Comedy.

Lefty’s journey in comedy began when his friends encouraged him to try an open mic in college. The lure of the stage was too strong to resist. He then joined the University of Minnesota’s student club for comedians. Armed with sharp wit & a guitar, he quickly incorporated music into his performances. This led to an invitation to appear on Mytalk Radio’s Brittany & Kendall show. Due to the popularity of his “Hallelujah” parody - “Minnesota” - he became a recurring guest.
