Laugh Local: Vol II

Saturday, Aug 2, 2025 from 6:00pm to 10:00pm
The Ideal Theater and Bar
213 16th Avenue SE

We're BACK with a fresh lineup of the funniest weirdos from right here in your backyard—ready to unload small-town stories, awkward moments, and just enough personal trauma to keep things interesting. Curated and headlined by Dylan Wenzel.

Nobody knows how to roast a place like the people who live in it.

Laugh Local: Vol II brings together a fresh crew of Cedar Rapids’ sharpest comics for a night of hometown hilarity, regional trauma, and deeply relatable chaos. These comedians don’t need fame or frills—they’ve got punchlines born from potholes, dive bars, and small-town weirdness.

Headliner: Dylan Wenzel – Nerdy exterior, savage interior. Dylan looks like he just got expelled from Hogwarts, but his humor is pure dark magic—dry, devastating, and brutally funny. If you’ve ever laughed through a mental breakdown, you’re in good company.

Alex Cook – Subtle, sarcastic, and dangerously clever, Alex slices through daily life with sharp observations and a healthy dose of cynicism.

Corey Chestnut – Small-town strange with a 9-to-5 and a deeply odd sense of humor, Corey blends absurdity with everyday struggle. He's doing alright. We think.

Hosted by Summer Dawn – Guiding the chaos with charm, wit, and probably a half-finished drink in hand.

Come support your scene. Come laugh at your city. Come see why local comics hit hardest—because they know exactly where to aim.

Get your tickets now—before your cousin’s ex snags the last one.
