Lonnie Bruhn

Winner of the 2011 International Shades of Laugh Comedy Competition

With over twenty years of experience, the praise Mr. Bruhn receives comes with good reason. His radical comedy, coupled with his heart-felt devotion to honesty and his commendable stance against judgmental attitudes are descriptions of his character that barely scratch the surface of his show.

“He's top-grade funny. Not just ‘he's pretty good but I don't really watch after the first night’ palatable, but right on your ass funny. Really funny"
-- Doug Stanhope from Comedy Central’s, “The Man Show”
