LPMN STATE CONVENTION

A GREATER MINNESOTA

The LPMN has reserved Convention space and a discounted hotel room reservation rate at the Courtyard by Marriott in St Cloud, MN, March 7th through 9th, 2025 (Convention business on Saturday and Sunday March 8th and 9th).

As in the past, Convention attendees are encouraged to book your Convention registration early.  The ‘early bird’ Convention ticket priced at $100 will be available through January 7th.  The normal pre-convention ticket price available prior to the first day of Convention is $120.  Registering for Convention at the door is available but will cost $150.  We encourage attendees to take advantage of the early registration pricing options.

A VIP ticket which includes both the Convention registration and the plated dinner on Saturday is available as a package option for $200 to those who wish to help to further support the LPMN.

In addition to the variety of restaurants within short walking distance, and the plated dinner option on Saturday evening, the LPMN will be hosting a hospitality suite where Convention attendees can enjoy casual refreshment and conversation.

The details of the Convention Agenda and the list of scheduled Guest Speakers will be available at a later date.

A GREATER MINNESOTA

According to the Cato Institute’s Freedom in the 50 States Index, Minnesota is the ninth-least free state in the United States.

The two-party duopoly is devoted to restricting our movements, eliminating our businesses, and silencing our voices.

The Libertarian Party of Minnesota is the only voice for true peace, prosperity, and freedom. 

Join us and be part of the conversation.

FRIDAY NIGHT LIVE COMEDY SHOW

You don’t want to miss some of the most hilarious comedy acts around! Check out our lineup:

Introducing Your Headliners...

Adam Nutter

Who needs Dave Smith when you can get Adam Nutter? Hailing from PA, Adam is the third-hottest and second-funniest Libertarian comic in the country.

Following Adam, Tom Woods said, “How about that comedian, eh? I can’t match his jokes, but I’d just like to say that I also have a penis.”

You know Adam from bars and clubs across the Northeastern corridor, Libertarian Party conventions around the country, and his podcasts The Porcupine and Cult of Us.

Mike Earley

If you’ve been around for a while, you’ve seen Twin Cities native and Ron Paul guy Mike Earley opening for some of the biggest headliners at the Acme. Mike’s libertarian-flavored comedy is a hit with normie and libertarian audiences alike.

Even though he abandoned us and moved to Mordor (aka New York City) a few years ago, Mike felt homesick and agreed to make his triumphant return to The Land of 10,000 Lakes just for LPMN!

Featuring...

Ahmed Khalaf

Refusing to back down during the COVID-19 pandemic let this Twin Cities favorite hone his craft while his colleagues were staying home scared. You’ll remember Ahmed’s dark and hilarious jokes from the Acme Comedy Company and his vanquishing of the competition in Sisyphus Brewing’s Funniest Person in Minneapolis Contest.

Aidan McCluskey

A native of Galesville, Wisconsin, Aidan McCluskey is one of the hottest and hardest-working comics on the Twin Cities scene. Four months after his first open mic, Aidan won Acme’s Funniest Person Contest, becoming the youngest winner in the contest’s history. Today you can catch him at the Acme, the House of Comedy, and Sysiphus.

Note: If you’re offended by dark humor, dirty jokes, and cusses, you might want to skip this event. It’s definitely not for kids or snowflakes.

And here's your host...

Krag

Influenced by heel characters like Bobby “The Brain” Heenan of old-school wrestling fame, LPMN member and comic “Krag” brings a unique form of persona-driven comedy. You’ll love his dark, dirty, dry, and cerebral brand of comedy.

Note: If you’re offended by dark humor, dirty jokes, and cusses, you might want to skip this event. It’s definitely not for kids or snowflakes.
