Dan Alten for free this Sunday at Kaiju!
Dan Alten is a charming goofball from Kentucky who has been traveling the country for the past decade doing about 200 shows a year bringing his intelligently surreal bebop nonsense everywhere from theaters to punk basements to art galleries to beloved comedy clubs with a knack for making audiences feel like they're on a good psychedelic trip without the drugs. Like if the Ramones were one guy with a mustache and good jokes. Iggy Pop with puns. Clever chaos. Like Jimi Hendrix lighting fire to a Tik Tok reel live on stage.
He has opened for Kyle Kinane, Bobcat, Sam Tallent, Rory Scovel, Sarah Sherman from SNL, Johnny Pemberton, Hari Kondabolu, rapper Open Mike Eagle, DJ Doug Pound & David Leibe Hart from Tim & Eric, various punk bands with silly names, and a guy at an open mic who tried to throw his father’s ashes into the crowd. He has recorded 2 albums, written a zine, and filmed a pilot for an Amazon Prime stand up show that was lost to history. But most importantly he’s very funny and unique. You will enjoy him. And if not you can mud wrestle him after the show.

Catch Louisville favorite Mandee McKelvey this Sunday for free at Kaiju! Mandee was recently named one of the 50 best undiscovered comics in the country by Thrillist, and it's not hard to see why. As one of the midwest's most acclaimed stand-up comedians, her candor, touch of vulgarity, and infectious sense of humor reveal an earnestness and vulnerability that invites us to find the humor in tragedy.
Mandee was named a breakout performer at Limestone Comedy Festival and the Memphis Comedy Festival, and has recently featured for Whitney Cummings, Michelle Wolf, Laurie Kilmartin, Tig Notaro, Todd Barry, and Anthony Jeselnik.
Her one-woman show, “My Left Boob”, received the Underdog Award for it’s sold-out debut at the 2019 IndyFringe and Kansas City’s Best of Fringe award in 2022. In 2023, she received a grant from the Kentucky Foundation for Women to film her first comedy special.
Mandee produces the celebrated roast show Character Assassination and the storytelling show We Still Like You.

It would be a stretch to call Kyle McGlothlin a comedian from Louisville, but it was a stretch to invade Iraq and we did that too. You might recognize him from literature about famines in Ireland. He hasn't won anything or opened for anyone famous, but he once declined to appear on Shark Tank, and has three publications in Internauka, the Russian Journal of Science. He guarantees you don't know anyone with those qualifications. He once told a joke so funny a lady threw a shot glass at him and that's definitely how everyone involved remembers it. Standup comedy is what keeps him from sneaking out at night and doing vigilante justice in between stealing catalytic converters. Come keep him off the streets.

Big Jake Hovis towers over the comedy scene at a whopping 6'8". Raised in Denver, this former teacher uses his classroom wit (and his inability to fit into airplane seats) to turn everyday awkwardness into laugh-out-loud moments. Known for his clean, self-deprecating humor, Big Jake turns his unique perspective into laugh-out-loud moments suitable for all audiences. Featured on Sirius XM and voted Leo Weekly's Best Local Comedian for the past three years, Big Jake Hovis proves that when it comes to delivering side-splitting jokes, size really does matter.
