The Brewery Comedy Tour

Herron Entertainment has been producing the best shows at clubs and theaters across the country and is now bringing those same great shows to the breweries across America. Featuring comedians in an environment they truly can feel at home in.

Herron Entertainment continues to lead the way in comedy with its cross country brewery tour. Featuring some of the best NYC and LA based comedians without NYC/LA prices because we know your money is important to you and only want you to enjoy a nice night out – without having to take out a loan.

Comedy Clubs all over the country have been producing the same style of comedy since the 1980s and have yet to step outside of the bubble and mix up their stale lineups – so we will do it instead. We will bring the future of entertainment to you.

When our stand up comedy, cross country brewery tour kicks off, we will be featuring the best and brightest NYC/LA based comedians and every city in between. As of February, Herron has 98 breweries lined up and has set a goal of visiting 300 breweries this year alone. We have spent 8 months planning and scouting the perfect locations for these shows and NONE of them will disappoint you. Some have gourmet food (not soggy chicken tendies) and ICE COLD beer made FRESH on location so there’s no skunk funk or watery drinks for $15 each (see above re: taking out a loan)

These comics will be touring your state(s) and cities performing in breweries and bars sampling the local fare, local brew and making you laugh. Get tickets fast – these shows are all selling out. Tickets are $15 and can be found at: https://www.universe.com/events/the-brewery-comedy-tour-at-dorchester-brewing-tickets-green-bay-W1F5CM

ON TAP (pun intended) for Herron Entertainment, LLC is “The BREWERY COMEDY TOUR” and it’s picking up much steam as it heads into 2018 promising to hit 300 breweries all across the U.S.A.

MIKE EARLEY
Born at a very young age, Mike has made some noteworthy progress since those early days. Growing up in Minnesota, he was born in St. Paul, eventually moving to the suburb of Woodbury in the third grade. Mike was a quiet kid in school depending on who you ask, but if you ask me, he was quiet. Given his introverted characteristics, when it came time to speak in front of the class, his natural gift to make people laugh came out. Although these engagements were few and far between, they were the initial experiences that prompted him into standup comedy.

At 26, he has been writing and performing comedy for over six years. With performance experiences panning a spectrum of clubs, colleges, bars, organizations, and even a house party or two. He has entertained audiences of all backgrounds, finding little need to shock or disgust crowds for effect. Mike Earley has become a prominent talent in the Twin Cities, most recently becoming an emcee of the legendary Acme Comedy Club in Minneapolis and winning The Joke Joint’s Funniest Person in Minnesota Contest.
