About The Event

MIKE LAJOIE - CO-HEADLINER

Born in Massachusetts and raised in South Florida, Mike has lived in Alaska for over 30 years and began his stand-up career at the World Famous Chilkoot Charlies almost 20 years ago. Mike has performed with Wanda Sykes, Jamie Kennedy, Chris Kattan and Tracy Morgan. Mike enjoys living in Alaska, working 11 jobs and barely scraping by.

 

JEFF VARVIL - CO-HEADLINER

Jeff Varvil is an artist with Hooked Entertainment, who is well-known for his work as a former TV Host on Alaska Outdoors Television and current Radio Host for Wild Alaska Radio. He has performed live comedy in various locations in the US and Canada since 1991, sharing the stage with renowned comedians such as Charlie Murphy, Lisa Alvarado, Greg Morton, and Joe Gatto from Impractical Jokers. With a hard-hitting sense of humor, Jeff is a must-see act.

 

 

BRYAN OTTEN - CO-HEADLINER

Bryan Otten originally hails from Denver, Colorado, but now calls Anchorage home.  Through years of self inflicted mental health struggles, he’s developed a penchant for darker material, believing  a sense of humor is the best defense against the dark days of an Alaskan winter. Bryab has worked with a wide array of touring comedians, including Brooks Wheelan, Ari Shaffir, Sam Tallent, and many more, but he currently finds his greatest comedic joy in commiserating with small town Alaskans about the weird and wonderful state we call home.

Meet the Organizer

Koot's

Located in the heart of historic Spenard, Chilkoot Charlie's first opened its doors on January 1, 1970 in what had been The Alibi Club. "Koot's," as it is affectionately called by locals, began as a neighborhood watering hole with a live piano bar.
