We’re excited to announce the first guest for No Brand Con 2026: Laughing Rat Cosplay!

Laughing Rat is thrilled to return to No Brand Con in 2026! A Milwaukee based cosplay crafter and rodent enthusiast, her work is known for its clean finishing, attention to detail, and always having at least one tiny nibble hole in it. She has competed at many Midwest cons, as well as the Crown Championships of Cosplay at C2E2, Disney’s D23 Mousequerade, and H+H Americas.

Outside of cosplay, she’s usually trying to keep her twelve pet rats from eating things they shouldn’t, reading, knitting, or doing yoga.
