Happy Ha-Ha-Ha-Lidays Brings Comedy and Music to Saint Cloud with Jason Schommer and Michael Shynes
Get ready to kick off the holiday season with laughter and live music as Happy Ha-Ha-Ha-Lidays: A Night of Comedy and Music takes center stage at Pioneer Place on Fifth in Saint Cloud, Minnesota. Scheduled for November 26, 2025, at 7:30 PM (CT), this one-night-only event promises non-stop laughter, great music, and festive cheer.
Hosted at 22 Fifth Avenue South, Saint Cloud, MN 56301, Pioneer Place on Fifth has become a favorite venue for local performances and community events. For anyone planning to attend, the area offers both street metered parking and parking ramps nearby. However, attendees should take note of a key detail: there’s no parking allowed after 8 PM on 5th Avenue between West St. Germain and 1st Street South on Thursday, Friday, or Saturday nights—vehicles parked during those times risk being towed.
The show stars two of Minnesota’s most talented entertainers — comedian Jason Schommer and singer-songwriter Michael Shynes — along with a special guest appearance by DGS! The night is designed to be a fun mix of holiday-themed comedy, storytelling, and live music that captures the joy and chaos of the season.
Jason Schommer, a seasoned performer known for his fast-paced humor and sharp wit, brings years of experience to the stage. He spent two years opening for legendary comedian Louie Anderson in Las Vegas and toured extensively with him. Schommer has also been featured on The Moth Radio Hour and has multiple wins at The Moth StorySLAM competitions. His storytelling skills shine in his 2017 live comedy album, “Confessions of a Local Celebrity,” which earned him a loyal following across the Midwest.
Michael Shynes, on the other hand, brings a heartfelt musical touch to the event. The self-taught singer-songwriter from the Midwest has built an impressive career that spans genres including R&B, pop, blues, folk, and country. His signature sound combines soulful vocals with rich acoustic arrangements. Shynes isn’t just a regional artist—he’s achieved international success, including earning a platinum record in Poland for his collaborations with international producers. His live performances are known for being immersive experiences, often featuring a full band, dynamic lighting, and video elements that pull audiences into the music.
The pairing of Schommer’s quick comedy and Shynes’ melodic charm makes Happy Ha-Ha-Ha-Lidays a must-see event for anyone who loves the holiday season but also appreciates a night filled with humor and heart. The event description teases a “wild and outrageous” evening, with both artists promising a show that blends traditional holiday warmth with an unpredictable, laugh-out-loud edge.
For those interested in attending, tickets and details can be found through Visit St. Cloud or Around the Cloud. With both comedy and music in one festive package, it’s the perfect way to welcome the holidays while supporting local talent.
