Producer

Lori Finlay

Meet Lori Finlay—a Twin Cities native turned Rochester firecracker lighting up the Midwest comedy circuit. As the founder and host of Comedy at Whistle Binkies Olde World Pub, Lori’s built a thriving hub for off-the-cuff hilarity and warm chaos. She’s shared stages with comedy heavyweight Myq Kaplan and pop-culture icon Shaun Weiss (yes, that Mighty Duck) and she’s currently producing, headlining and hosting shows across the Midwest. From dating disasters to adoption detours, mom life meltdowns to medical curveballs, Lori’s material is bracingly honest and unpredictably funny. You never know what she’ll say next—and neither does she! One thing’s certain: a night with Lori is always a good forking time.

Co-Producer

Ira Ford

Ira Ford, from Maryland, was a lyricist before he followed his passion of comedy. He was always amazed at how a comedian could hold so many people's attention. Now based in Minneapolis, he is an open book who talks about life experiences ranging from drugs to family. He unapologetically says what he thinks. His unique and hilarious stories earned him a semifinalist finish at The Funniest Person with a Day Job Contest at Rick Bronson's House of Comedy, and had his own wildly popular monthly showcase which he hosted and curates "Laughs and Legends" at Lakes and Legends Brewery in downtown Minneapolis. He is currently a paid regular feature at the hottest comedy club in Minnesota Acme Comedy Company. He also is the producer & host of Light em up the Bong Show.

From hosting the Midwest’s largest open mic to currently reviving the legendary comedy club the Comedy Bunker, this ACME Funniest Person semi-finalist delivers a fast-paced, relatable wit that has made him a must-watch voice in the Twin Cities and beyond. Catch him now, before everyone else catches on.
