10,000 LAUGHS returns OCTOBER 23-25, 2025!

We’re back for our 13th year; older, maybe wiser, definitely still weird. 10,000 Laughs returns October 23–25, and yes, the chaos is still questionably sober to be “working.”

For more than a decade, we’ve been the messy, fun core of stand-up comedy in Minneapolis. We bring together legends, locals, and future stars for a three-day comedy marathon: over 30-something shows, four score or so comics, and one unforgettable weekend.

2025 Headliners

These here people make up the best of the best at the festival, closing out shows all over the city. More about all performers along with shows/times can be found on their pages, just tap their image.
