Aidan McCluskey is a stand-up comedian from Minneapolis, Minnesota. At 19, he left his associate’s degree program to pursue comedy. Four months after his first open mic, he won Acme Comedy Company’s Funniest Person Contest, becoming the youngest winner in the contest’s history.

Shortly after winning, McCluskey quit stand-up and moved to Las Vegas, where he spent time involved in a multi-level marketing company before eventually returning to Minneapolis in 2021. Upon his return, he became a regular at Acme Comedy Company and resumed his career in stand-up.

McCluskey now headlines clubs throughout the country and has performed at Skankfest in Las Vegas. His appearances include The Adam Friedland Show, Barstool’s The Yak, Son of a Boy Dad, ANUS, an extremely brief appearance on Kevin Hart’s Funny AF on Netflix, and Don’t Tell Comedy. He also hosts the semi-regular podcast Goat Mentality with his friends Trey and Elliot.
