For our Rochester friends, Goonie's Comedy Club - Rochester, MN has a free open mic every Thursday and headlining shows every Friday and Saturday. Go check it out!
This week at our free Open Mic on October 3rd, we’ll be featuring Laura Bellini.
Laura started doing comedy in Sacramento CA about six years ago.
Q: Why did you start doing comedy?
“Life long friend bugged me about it out of nowhere one year and told me to at least start writing as if I’m telling him my stories, and as soon as I made people laugh at my troubled up bringing I was hooked.”
Q: What are some famous comedians you like?
“Though I’m not big on famous people, and I wasn’t a huge comedy buff before I started, I do admire Leslie Jones, Jacqueline Novak, Sam Morril, Bill Burr.”
Q: What are some not famous comedians you like?
“As of late I can’t get enough of Ari Matti and would love to see more of Rachel Mac, Elise Cole, and Rochester’s very own De’Angilo Funches.”
Q: What is your act like?
“I’m a self-proclaimed “recovering hoodrat" and people have described me as blue-collar comedy with a dark twist.”
Laura has now performed across the country, from California, to New Jersey, Colorado, and all over Minnesota, where she connects with audiences by incorporating her life challenges of childhood trauma, becoming a young mother, and now being an empty-nester. She has opened for Costaki Economopoulos, featured at the House of Comedy, and has headlined various showcases in Minneapolis and beyond.
Come see Laura and other comedians at all levels, from nationally touring comedians to beginners just getting started, at our free Open Mic every Thursday.
