Minnesota Standup Comedian Founders Scott Hansen and Jeff Gerbino will Celebrate Forty Years of Laughter and Friendship in New Years Eve Eve Event. Pete Borcher (a comedian that will soon celebrate 40 years of breathing on his own) will co-star.
In 1977, just, a few years after his family had been uprooted from a farm in Southern Wisconsin; Scott Hansens high school best friend, Tim Bauer, invited him to attend a comedy contest at Mickey Finns. The bar was a small, dingy, Nordeast Minneapolis, blue-collar watering hole.
Waiting in a hallway to perform that night stood a young, wannabe comedian from Long Island named Jeff Gerbino. Jeff had just moved to Minnesota from New York to be closer to a Minnesota that he had met in New York the previous summer.
The comedy that evening was raw and the beer was cheap. Both products flowed copiously. As is the case when low-priced beer and lowbrow comedy are combined: heckling began. Scott made several jabs that entertained the small audience and annoyed the emcee/club owner. After one inspired retort received a laugh bigger than the amateur comedian, the emcee came down from the stage and confronted Scott. with a challenge. Since youre so funny why dont you get on stage? Scott accepted the challenge a few weeks later.
After Scotts first show, Jeff and Scott decided to get something to eat, Neither can remember if they were actually hungry or if they were magically seduced by the wafting, grease-filled odors of the White Castle hamburgers sizzling across the street from the club. The young men sat in Jeffs car to eat their reward for a successful show.
During several hours of conversation they discovered a common love for science fiction, Star Trek and Kurt Vonnegut. When Tuesday Afternoon was played on the AM radio both acknowledged that the The Moody Blues was the greatest band in the world. And, as their camaraderie strengthened as strangers in a strange land they both discovered that there was tons of fertile comedy ground to be cultivated in the strange people called Minnesotans.
And Pete Borcher was to be bornvery soon
