With Jenny Rubin as your host and featuring Sue Funke and Jamie Machotka!
International headliner Mina Hartong is a comedian, host, and founder of Lez Out Loud. She headlined for Olivia Travel in Tahiti aboard the exclusive Windstar Cruise Line and toured Los Angeles and Palm Springs with her sold-out show Lez Out Loud. A finalist in the Ladies of Laughter National Competition and named one of America’s Funniest Women by Curve Magazine, Mina brings bold, inclusive comedy to every stage she graces. She has shared the stage with Gina Yashere and Karen Williams.
Her credits include Joe’s Pub, West Side Comedy Club with the New York Comedy Festival, and Don’t Tell Mama’s in New York City; as well as a feature slot at the Montreal Fringe Festival. Mina’s comedy career began unexpectedly in Amsterdam when she entered an open mic—accidentally entering a contest—and won. Since then, she’s been writing, performing, and mentoring the next generation of comics.
Offstage, Mina teaches in public schools, coaches emerging comedians, and dreams of the day she can call comedy her only day job. Her first comedy special, Miss Personality, was filmed in January 2025.
