⚠️ Terminal Comedy Presents: TERMINAL FEST!!! ⚠️
TERMINAL FEST is NE Minneapolis comedy at full throttle—loud, wild, and beautifully unfiltered.
October 23 · 6PM to Close · Terminal Bar, NE
One night. One stage. Every show that’s made this scene legendary, stacked back-to-back in a comedy supernova:
- Revolver Roast (where the burns are brutal and the crowd’s complicit)
- Terminal Velocity Improv Battle (chaotic brilliance, no brakes)
- Short Joke Tourney (blink and you’ll miss the knockout punchlines + $50 1st prize)
- Terminal Comedy Showcase (the best of NE, no filler)
- Bacheloregret (twisted, tender, and totally unhinged speed dates )
- And at the heart of it all: Terminal Thursdays Comedy Open Mic—the ritual, the proving ground, the pulse.
If you’ve ever laughed too hard at a joke you couldn’t repeat, this night’s for you.
If you’ve ever said “NE comedy is weird,” we’re here to say: it’s world-class.
Dive bar vibes? Absolutely. But the talent? Unreal.
The mic stays hot. The crowd stays rowdy. The jokes cut deep.
And the best part? It’s all FREE.
So bring your crew, grab a drink, and let’s turn Terminal Bar into a comedy cathedral.
TERMINAL FEST is the night NE Minneapolis turns into the biggest comedy party in the Midwest—it’s feral, fearless, and unforgettable. You don't want to miss this!
