Sen. Al Franken performing a monologue during MinnRoast 2014.

MinnPost is honored and delighted to announce the return of Minnesota’s junior senator, Al Franken, to the MinnRoast stage. While a three-time Emmy winner for his comedic writing and producing, the newly re-elected senator keeps his humor in check these days. MinnRoast is a rare opportunity to enjoy Franken’s singular wit.
