We are so excited to have Dannie T. headling our first show of the year. Dannie T. brings erious laughter to audiences with his “coma” style delivery. His unique performances have been recognized over the years, and he was once crowned the funniest person in Iowa. He’s a regular at comedy clubs, venues and theaters around the country and also has an OPEN BAR comedy special coming out in 2026. Dannie T. uses his twenty years of experience to create a REAL honest unforgettable show you don’t want to miss!!
Our feature act for tonight is Matthew Jacobson!! Matthew Jacobsen is a high energy stand-up comedian armed with stories, voices and faces. Matthew placed first in the 2024 “Funniest Person In Iowa” contest, and received the Nate Cockerill Stage Performance Award at The 2022 Cleveland Comedy Festival. He has also appeared in various comedy festivals around the country, including the Altercation Comedy Festival and the Sno Jam Comedy Festival.
We will also have local funny guy Adam Meier. Adam has been putting in the time more than most and has proven himself on stage many times over. He's been at it for about 2 years and in that time he has featured on several Loft, Wolfdog comedy, and Coopers Tap comedy shows. In late 2025, he opened his first theater show at the Oster Regent for Tom Garland.
Hosting and opening the show will be Dave Grant. Dave is the founder of Local Noise and has been on shows all over the cedar valley. You've seen him. He'll have some new stuff for you, he promises.
