Comedian • Podcaster • Writer

Grant Winkels has been performing his whole life. After years of gigging as a musician, he finally convinced himself that he was funny. He’s been convincing audiences ever since. Selected as a  “Comic to Watch” by Racket Magazine, he has performed at the New York City Comedy Festival, West End Comedy Fest and Fountain City Comedy Festival among others. Grant is a producer for the acclaimed 10,000 Laughs Comedy Festival, a paid regular at Acme Comedy Company and hosts the popular Sisyphus Brewing Open Mic.

Grant tours the midwest and country, opening for comedians including Kelsey Cook, Geoffrey Asmus, Mike Recine and Mary Mack. He cohosts the podcast, We Cool?, in which listeners submit anonymous apologies for things they can’t admit to in their lives. His videos have accumulated millions of views on social media which is very impressive and means he is a good comedian.
