On this episode of Cocktails with Dimples and The Beard, we sit down with Wisconsin comedian Abe Auer for a hilarious and surprisingly heartfelt conversation about stand-up comedy, roasting small towns, and building a career in comedy. Abe shares how his now-viral Menasha jokes first started at Skyline Comedy Club, why local comedy clips have exploded on Facebook, and how roasting Wisconsin towns became one of his most recognizable bits. We also dive into Abe’s journey from getting cold feet at a middle school talent show to performing at major comedy clubs, opening for comics like Dusty Slay, Zoltan Kaszas, and Dustin Nickerson, and learning what it takes to move up in the stand-up world.

The conversation also takes a meaningful turn as Abe shares the story behind his New London flood relief fundraiser, how Charlie Berens got involved, and how the local community came together in a major way after devastating flooding. This episode has everything—comedy, chaos, Wisconsin roasting, behind-the-scenes stand-up stories, and a genuinely inspiring look at using comedy to give back.
