Blake Hogue

Blake was born and raised in Rochester, Minnesota.  Rochester placed in the top 3 ranking of Money Magazine's "Best Places to Live" five times between 1993-1997, widely considered Blake's most key years of puberty.  He graduated from the University of MN in Duluth with a BFA in Acting, where he was given research grants to write plays and perform improv for few people to see.  This was before the recession.

A lover of the 80's, a respecter of karaoke, and a master of 8-Bit Nintendo, Blake truly is a delight.  Or a white Japanese business man.

He's recently appeared on TV shows Raising Hope, 90210,  How I Met Your Mother and E!'s The Soup, as well as The Benchwarmers produced by Adam Sandler's company Happy Madison Productions.  He's also been in commercials for Red Robin, McDonald's, Samsung Galaxy Tab, Verizon, TJ Maxx, & 1-800-Dentist.

Currently, he performs improv and sketch at iO West and around town on several (several meaning over a dozen) teams.  He also studies improv through UCB. 

I recently shot a series of spots for Red Robin that just started airing.  I play one of three conjoined Triamese Triplets that love Red Robin and get into situations that only three-armed brothers could.  My face was clearly made to sell burgers.

Sketch written and directed by Kristen Rozanski for our new sketch group Midcoast Comedy.
