Past Comedians

Natasha Leggero

Natasha Leggero will not be traveling to Fargo for its second annual Comedy Fest, kicking off tonight at the Fargo Theatre. Nick Thune has been added to the lineup and will perform this evening with Moshe Kasher and local mc, John Kennedy.

“Not exactly kicking off my tour with a bang as I am canceling my first show,” Leggero said in a released statement. “Fargo, please understand! I am a worried new mom and I don’t feel comfortable leaving my baby amidst an escalating global pandemic while LA is in a state of emergency. My husband, Moshe Kasher, is a very brave man of his word so he will be there. I am not scared of Fargo, just the hourly escalation of all things Corona here in LA and I don’t feel comfortable traveling and leaving my child. Please accept my truly talented replacement, Nick Thune.”

Amber Preston

Amber Preston has appeared on national commercials for Buffalo Wild Wings and Booking.com, at numerous festivals from Sketchfest to Gilda’s Laughfest (where she was named “Best of the Midwest”), and even on Marc Maron’s “Five Comedians to Watch” list for Vulture. Along with hosting Los Angeles shows The Cut and Punchline Punchout, she recently recorded her debut album Sparkly Parts on Stand Up! Records.

Joel McHale

McHale is one of the most sought-after comedians and actors in the industry. He was most recently seen in The Happy Time Murders as well as Netflix’s A Futile & Stupid Gesture opposite Will Forte, in which he played Chevy Chase, his former Community co-star. McHale also recently hosted The Joel McHale Show With Joel McHale on Netflix, a half-hour topical series that took a sharp, absurdist look at pop culture and news from across the globe. In 2015, McHale wrapped the 12th and final season of E! Network’s The Soup, in which he satirized pop culture and current events. He is best known for his starring role on the hit comedy series Community, which ended its sixth season on Yahoo! after five seasons on NBC.

Moshe Kasher

Actor/comedian/writer Kasher has quickly become one of Hollywood’s most in demand and highly regarded talents. He is the author of the 2012 memoir Kasher in the Rye: The True Tale of a White Boy from Oakland Who Became a Drug Addict, Criminal, Mental Patient, and Then Turned 16.

Moshe can also be seen in his 2017 Comedy Central talk show, Problematic with Moshe Kasher. Named one of Variety’s “10 Comics To Watch,” Kasher is native to Comedy Central serving as co-executive producer on Another Period, on which he is also a cast member.
