Laugh Local: Unfiltered

"Laugh Local: Unfiltered" Hosted by Josh Staley Buckle up, Cedar Rapids—this isn't your grandma's comedy night. Laugh Local: Unfiltered is bringing the heat with a savage lineup of Cedar Rapid’s funniest degenerates, dreamers, and disaster storytellers. Josh Staley is your host for the evening—and it's a deeply questionable choice, given his track record of bad decisions, worse dates, and a childhood that reads like a red flag parade. He’s unfiltered, unstable, and somehow still holding a mic—ready to kick off a night of comedy that cuts deep and hits hard. Dylan Wenzel looks like Harry Potter but sounds like your favorite sarcastic bartender who’s seen too much. Whether he’s cracking dark jokes or roasting your life choices before you’ve made them, Dylan keeps it sharp, weird, and unapologetically real. Hope Sears has lived through more chaos than a telenovela on speed—and she’s still standing (barely). From messed-up family drama to dating misfires that belong in a true crime doc, Hope turns her misfortune into your night of twisted laughter. She’s got receipts, too. Ask her after the show. And headlining the madness is the one-woman circus herself—Kassy Johnson. Loud, proud, and dressed like your ex’s worst nightmare, Kassy slings tales of love, loss, and what-the-hell-was-I-thinking moments with the energy of someone who definitely drank Red Bull for breakfast. You’ll laugh, you’ll relate, and you’ll probably text your therapist afterward. Come for the laughs
