Meet Lori Finlay—a Twin Cities native turned Rochester firecracker lighting up the Midwest comedy circuit. As the founder and host of Comedy at Whistle Binkies Olde World Pub, Lori’s built a thriving hub for off-the-cuff hilarity and warm chaos. She’s shared stages with comedy heavyweight Myq Kaplan and pop-culture icon Shaun Weiss (yes, that Mighty Duck), and she’s currently producing shows across Rochester, the Twin Cities, and Wisconsin. From dating disasters to adoption detours, mom life meltdowns to medical curveballs, Lori’s material is bracingly honest and unpredictably funny. You never know what she’ll say next—and neither does she! One thing’s certain: a night with Lori is always a good forking time.
