Scott Hansen and the Stagebender on the Laff Boat
"A GUARANTEED LAUGH RIOT" Minneapolis StarTribune
Help support Minnesota's Wounded Warriors as Scott Hansen and The Stagebenders combine the stand-up comedian that has been chosen 5 times as the Minnesota Comedian of the Year with America's hottest comedy/improv duo on a comedy cruise on the Laff Boat
You get over a half a- ton of laughs with Minnesota's funniest comedian and the only comedy act to have won the MTV Comedy Challenge - twice!
"The laughter is furious and the punchlines are hurled like a hailstorm. The repartee that these guys have on-stage is reminiscent of the cast of the "Carol Burnet Show" and as current as "Whose Line Is It Anyway". When the audience steps up to bat with suggestions for the improvisation, the boys dig in and get ready to take a swing. If the audience hangs a curve ball ...odds are it will get slapped down the line for a double."

THE STAGEBENDERS
Gust Alexander and Kim Thomassen bill themselves with the playful moniker "The Stagebenders." They are two junior high school buddies from Minneapolis that cracked up all of their friends. They are now America's funniest comedy duo and play to sellout audiences at concerts, comedy clubs and colleges from coast to coast. They are the only national performers to ever win the "MTV Comedy Challenge" twice in a row!
Kim Thomassen and Gust Alexander love to make people laugh. The St. Paul Pioneer Press has called them, "The Abbot and Costello for the new millennium!" The Stagebenders' act is a nonstop, fast-paced hurricane of interactive comedy that has to be experienced to be believed. The Minneapolis StarTribune has called them, "The Prince of Banter and the Prince of Glib."
After fifteen years, their act has been honed to perfection. Once they whip their audience into a comedy frenzy, no other comic dares perform after them. The Los Angeles Times has said this about the comedy twosome: "With a honed ability to play off of each other as well as the audience, the Stagebenders have mastered the art of improvisation!"
Diehard fans include Geena Davis, The Kinks and the legendary Budd Friedman ( the Stagebenders headline regularly at "Improvs" all over the United States) who has been quoted as saying that, " The Stagebenders are my biggest find!"
