A lot of Eau Claire’s robust comedy scene comes from regional and nationally touring acts stopping through, but there’s also a growing number of homegrown funny folk to keep us laughing. Ranking in first place this year is local goofball Matt Campbell, who invites audiences into his self-described “stupid little world” to laugh with him. In second place is Cullen Ryan, the co-founder of Clear Water Comedy, who when he takes the stage himself never fails to make us laugh. Ranking third is Ramiro Vasquez, an up-and-coming comedian fresh out of the classes at Oh Claire Improv, with a warm, charismatic, and charming style we’re excited to see rise. —James Johonnott
