Gov. Mark Dayton returns to the MinnRoast stage in 2018

Dayton has been a staple at MinnRoast for a number of years.

“The Restaurant” starring Gov. Mark Dayton, featuring Eric and Andrew Dayton from MinnRoast 2016.

Gov. Dayton’s self-deprecating humor has been a staple at MinnRoast for a number of years. Whether it’s “helping out” at his sons’ restaurant in 2016, above, or starring in last year’s “Hamilton” spoof, Dayton’s performance is always a show highlight.

MinnRoast has become a can’t-miss event of the Minnesota political calendar, bringing policymakers, entertainers, and journalists together to poke fun at each other and the state we love in songs, skits, videos, and monologues.
