Headliner: Jodie Maruska

Jodie Maruska is a comedy veteran who has performed across the country in clubs, events, casinos, a few backyards and one very damp root cellar.  In the Twin Cities she appears regularly at the House of Comedy at the Mall of America and the Comedy Underground along with a large selection of one nighter venues.  In June 2025 she won the "Funniest Headliner" contest at Gambit Brewing and was recently part of the "Best of the Fest" show in the 10,000 Laughs Comedy Festival!  Jodie has appeared with such icons as Louie Anderson, Diane Ford, Jason Schommer, Rich Hall, Beth Stelling, and Jackie Fabulous.  She appeals to audiences of all ages and used her "Minnesota Nice" demeanor to unexpected comedic effect.  Just don't ask her to appear in a root cellar again.
