Crooners Loons on the Lake All-Star Showcase
2024-06-05 20:00 - 22:00 | Minneapolis, MN, 6161 Hwy 65 NE, Minneapolis, MN 55432, USA, Minneapolis, MN, 6161 Hwy 65 NE, Minneapolis, 55432
I got called up to the major leagues. Each year Crooners holds its Loons on the Lake Comedy Contest with a first prize of $10,000. This year almost 200 people sent in audition tapes. The top 40 get to participate in the contest. I came in 41st. Seriously.
However, someone dropped out, so now I am in “the Show.” I will be in the contest on Wednesday, June 5, 8:00 PM. For some reason, these tickets are only $10.00. I hope some of you will come out and laugh uproariously for me, even if you don’t think I’m funny. In most comedy contests, audience reaction is a big part of the score.

In the unlikely event that I continue on in the contest, the semi-finals are Friday, June 7th at 8:30 pm.
The finals are Saturday June 8th at 9:00 pm.

(guitar) is a retired elementary teacher who has been writing songs for over 30 years,
incorporating songwriting with his students to enhance the learning process and build
community. His songs are inspired by life experiences, family, and observations of the world.
Over the years he has performed his music for churches, summer camps and various open mics
throughout the Twin Cities. In addition to their day jobs, Andrew (violin) plays with Coyote
Wild, a country rock cover band and Collin (guitar) plays with his folk/rock band Dogpile. Water
Crossings hopes their music can shine some light into the world and inspire others to do the
same.
