EVENT DESCRIPTION

‘Born Loud’ Dina Nina Martinez Rutherford Comedy Tour

with special guest Sarah McPeck

 
Comedian, City Councilwoman, advocate, and actor Dina Nina Martinez makes a stop at The Hook in Mpls on her ‘Born Loud’ Comedy Tour. Minneapolis comedian, writer, and advocate Sarah McPeck opens the show. 10% of proceeds go to Outfront MN. AND there will be a post show chat with local leaders and representatives. Don’t miss it!

 
In a time where transgender people are being targeted and further marginalized by expansive overreach of local, state and national politicians, Dina Nina brings hope and joy with with the return of “Born Loud” a comedic storytelling of Dina Nina’s life and journey to finding self love. The show is full of humorous anecdotes, childhood, and the numerous coming out periods of her journey. Dina Nina Martinez, the transgender stand-up comedian and actor praised by James Corden, wows with her blend of sass and charm. She’s been featured in top comedy festivals and venues like LA Pride, The Comedy Store, and Zanies Comedy Club. A Huff Post blogger, she founded Lady Laughs Comedy & Artemis Bow Productions and penned “The Misadventures of Delilah James.” She was honored to be one of “58 Trans Women Actors You Should Know & Also Love,” by Autostraddle and she earned the title of Madison’s favorite Local Comedian. She has also made appearances at LA Pride, The Chicago Women’s Funny Festival, LA’s The Comedy Store, Laugh Factory, the Improv Comedy Clubs and Chicago’s Zanies Comedy Club Visionary behind Lady Laughs Comedy School & Festival Creator of “I Love Funny Women! Podcast”, “The D Word Podcast” and the acclaimed “Dina & Gregg Show.” Dina Nina is also the first transgender woman to be elected to Madison, WI City Council. Dina Nina Martinez is a comedic powerhouse, spreading laughter and love worldwide.

 

Growing up in rural Wisconsin during the week and Minneapolis on the weekend, allowed Sarah the perspective that people lived life very differently from one another. This city mouse, country mouse existence provided a unique lens for commentary and it brought out the natural storyteller in Sarah. A ten-year stint as a blackjack dealer gave Sarah a captive audience to hone her comedy chops. One day she looked at the smoke-filled walls and noisy slot machines and said goodbye. She turned in her apron and decided to bet on herself and become a comedian.  At the same time, she decided to pursue this dream she also decided to pursue her dream of being a lesbian. Go for broke, as they say. Sarah is also an advocate for LGBTQ rights, produces many shows to further queer content and to bring inclusion to the media.
