“1992: Mistakes Were Made!” is an outrageously hilarious true story of the class geek returning to perform at his 20th high school reunion. Bullies confronted, memories questioned, old wounds revisited. What could go wrong? Stay cool! Don't ever change!
In this hysterical and poignant comedy, Jason looks back at high school and how it shapes a person (for better or worse) as they move forward in life. From the days of being an unpopular kid in school with a rather unfortunate senior class photo to graduating and working in entertainment with the famous in New York City, Hollywood and Vegas. When Jason returns to his hometown to perform at his 20th class reunion, things take a wildly unexpected turn, and it ends up being an unforgettable night. “1992: Mistakes Were Made!” is an unflinching yet laugh out loud funny look at who you were then versus who you are now and how high school lingers for a lifetime, whether you like it or not. Revenge of the nerd! A show 31 years in the making!
Jason Schommer is a standup comedian and storyteller who spent two years as the opening act for comedy legend Louie Anderson in Las Vegas and toured with Louie regularly. Comedy icon Louie Anderson said “Jason is funny, clever, smart, and on his way to the big time!”. As a stand up comic, Jason has performed all over the USA as well as Canada and for the US Military in Japan. Jason has worked with such comedy superstars as Chris Kattan (Saturday Night Live, Night at the Roxbury), Josh Blue (Last Comic Standing champion), Judy Tenuta (Grammy Award Best Comedy Album), and Tim Meadows (Saturday Night Live, The Ladies’ Man). Jason’s sharp wit and spur of the moment playfulness keeps the audience on the edge of their seat with crazy and absurd “is-this-really-happening” stories to jokes with unexpected twists and turns and off-the-cuff riffs. The laughs come fast and furious as Jason mines everyday life, turning the seemingly mundane and routine into comedy gold. A regular performer at The Moth, Jason has won numerous Story Slam competitions and was invited to perform at the GrandSlams at The Fitzgerald Theatre in St. Paul (2016, 2023) and The Guthrie Theater (2018) and at the Pantages Theater (2022). Jason has been heard nationally on The Moth Radio Hour as well as featured on the podcast. Jason has worked in New York City for The Rosie O’Donnell Show and has worked behind the scenes in Hollywood as a stand in for Louie Anderson on the FX television series Baskets. In 2017 Jason released his first live comedy album “Confessions of a Local Celebrity”. Most recently Jason went viral on TikTok by starring in a video with Dave Ryan from KDWB and hitting over 5.3 million views.
Wendy Maybury’s debut comedy album “She’s Not From Around Here” hit #1 on the charts last year. She still gives hugs after the show. She has opened for Bert Kreischer, and Louie Anderson, for crowds as large as 4,000 people but still tries to make people trapped with her in elevators laugh between floors. Wendy has performed comedy for years and still likes people. Come laugh at her quirky southern stories and hilarious takes on single motherhood.
