Too lazy to shoot hoops and too tall to model, Marcella Arguello stands over 6 feet. Although she may be taller than most men, the only thing more intimidating than her height is her comedy. Marcella mixes a combination of genuine reason with a sexy suggestion of street. Deemed as “sexually and ethnically ambiguous” she appeals to everyone and is not afraid to tell you how she really feels about subjects concerning race, gender, relationships, family, work, music, pop culture and whatever else is on her mind that day.
In 2015, Marcella was featured on NBC’s Last Call with Carson Daly; her stand up has been highlighted on rapper Tyler, The Creator’s mobile app and most recently on The Real. Her Twitter account (@marcellacomedy) has been featured on TIME.com, CNN, Comedy Central and various entertainment websites. She is a regular opener for Last Comic Standing Winner, Felipe Esparza as well as MTV’s Jessimae Peluso. She has opened for David Alan Grier, Norm MacDonald, J.B. Smoove, Hannibal Buress, Bryan Callen, Aries Spears, Hasan Minhaj, Al Madrigal, Joey Coco Diaz, Ian Edwards, Jamie Kaler, Sugar Sammy, Melanie Comarcho, Melissa Villasenor, Colin Kane and has shared a stage with Mark Curry, Bill Burr and Paul Mooney.

Chris Crack is the "Jimi Hendrix of Rap". Prevailing Chicago's West Side scene, he combines prolific lyricism & sounds, with an infectious show. Chris Crack is the most enthralling artist in hip-hop. While the city of Chicago is widely known for its diverse tastes, ranging from marinara-covered, deep-dish style pizzas, and mild sauce-soaked wings, to gun-toting “drill” trappers, towering sky-scrapers, and flagrant hustlers, the trend setters of the “Windy City”, strive to stand-out from even their own community.
A notably unique artist that sets himself apart from the rest, is the undoubtedly-fashionable, remarkably-imaginative, hip-hop visionary, Chris Crack; who prefers “LSD and Mushrooms” on his slice of pie, and stapling his unorthodox, “cult-like” collective of music and style, the New Deal Crew, into hip-hop music.
His recent projects with Tree & Vic Spencer have received a lot of recognition.

Ben has performed at some of the best known venues in Denver and beyond, including Comedy Works, The Denver Improv, and many of the alternative comedy shows, including Arguments and Grievances, and 7 Minutes in Purgatory.

Jeff Zenisek is an up and coming stand-up comic with a weird last name, really good hair, and a growing fan-base.
Jeff delights audiences with his energetic and honest performances. His comedy offers a peak inside the life and mind of a giant man-boy.
Jeff spent most of his childhood in the mountains of West Virginia, where the fresh air helped him grow to a borderline freakish height of 6 feet, 7 inches tall. You could say he grew up, but only in reference to his height.
Jeff has always been a fierce competitor, excelling at anything he feels like, such as skateboarding, tennis, Connect Four, video games. Jeff was awarded Best of the Fest at the 2015 Devil Cup Comedy Contest in NYC.
Jeff hosts a twice monthly podcast called THE GROUNDED PODCAST and records his show from Grounded Podcast Studios (his parents house).
Jeff has worked with comics such as Grandma Lee (America's Got Talent), Nikki Glaser (Not Safe), Tom Segura (Your Mom's House Podcast). He also took Bill Burr to the gun range

My name is Jasmyn Carter and I'm a junior at Kent State University. I grew up in a suburb outside of Cleveland called Maple Heights. I graduated from Maple Heights High School ranked number nine in my class with college credits. I have four brothers and two sisters. I come from a competitive background. I played sports all my life and never backed down from a challenge. I am the current President of the Kent State Comedy Club. When I was younger I suffered from really bad stage fright. I would cry at the thought of performing in front of people, not realizing that one day it would become my passion.
School and sports were my thing. I was always good at school because that's what I thought I was supposed to do. I had no idea that I would want to become a comedian. I want to have a contribution to this art form and as many art forms as I can when I grow up. On social media, we see these videos and people think that's what comedy is, as in that's the only comedy in this world. When stand up is the purest form of comedy. I want the youth to recognize what a real comedian looks like and I plan on working as hard as I can for as long as I can.

I have been actively doing stand up comedy for about four years now, and have done it in places such as Playhouse Square (Cleveland Comedy Festival), Laugh Factory Chicago, The Second City, The Funny Stop, The Annoyance in Chicago, and many more. I also opened for The Sklar Brothers this past October when they played The Kent Stage in Kent.
I produce a weekly comedy television show at Kent State University's TV2, called 'The Agenda' (I can send you a link to those upon request). This show has been really well reviewed, and has even recently been picked up for syndication at another TV station in Colorado. I also attended The Second City's Comedy Studies program in the summer of 2015, which was a difficult program to get into. In this program, I wrote sketches, improvised, and put on a Second City-style revue with my classmates that we performed at Up Comedy Club.

I’m an East Nashville raised, New York City based standup comedian, actress, producer, and pot smoker. In 2010 I made my feature film debut in Bad Batch, of which I helped produce and starred in. I was featured in Chicago’s Women’s Funny Festival, helped break the Guinness World Record for longest running continuos standup show (80 hours) and am most notably known for my 2014 walk across America. For over eight months I pushed a cart and walked 2000 miles from Lewes, DE to Oceanside, California. Performing standup in a dozen states along the way, I filmed the entire trip, and am currently in production of a comedic documentary about my travels titled, Burning Daylight.
Since returning from my walk I co-create a web-series, Let’s Take a Walk With Jessica Watkins and Tiki. Let’s Take a Walk is a diverse interview web-series where my curious chihuahua, Tiki and I humorously tackle challenging topics of our time as we stroll through the New York City neighborhood of our subject.

Hi! I've been juggling comedy and side-hustles in New York for a decade. I moved here to be a public school teacher at a middle school in the Bronx, but that didn't work out because I'm no Michelle Phieffer. Over the past few years, I've made a buck working as an extra on Law and Order, performing children's theatre, and working as a real estate agent on the front lines of gentrification in Bushwick and Williamsburg. Meanwhile I've been producing independent stand-up showcases all over the city, from yoga studios, to the back rooms at Japanese sushi bars. The comedy scene in NYC is so diverse, I've gotten to experience the improv community at UCB and was in a sketch group that performed regularly at the People's Improv theatre. Recently I produced, co-wrote, and acted in a short film with a cast of talented New York City comedians that can be found at Whereissimfeld.com. I've been keeping up on local progressive politics for a sweet weekly gig as the sidekick co-host on the Katie Halper Show in WBAI. Not a bad run for an asthmatic Chicano from Washington D.C.

I write “smart” comedy. It’s not boring or over anyone’s head. “Smart” comedy doesn’t mean fancy words or big, philosophical points. It just means that unlike other comics my age, I don’t constantly talk about porn. That’s really it. I talk about subjects like: trying to be a good boyfriend, BBC’s Life, bookstores, video games, Netflix, my body image, my family, and, of course, porn. Even smart people still like porn.
I’ve been doing stand-up for over ten years. In that time I’ve also written for College Humor, McSweeney’s, The Onion News Network on IFC, Someecards (where I was the Ecards Editor for over a year), TL;DR Wikipedia, Reader’s Digest, and a couple web series you’ve never heard of that paid me with checks that said, verbatim: “Cheese Jokes.” I also was an “Adjunct Scholar” for Lapham’s Quarterly, created the Better Book Titles blog and wrote my own humor book for Penguin in 2012 called How Not to Read: Harnessing the Power of a Literature-Free Life. I co-host a weekly stand-up show at UCB East Village called Lasers in the Jungle every Thursday night at 7:30 PM. My stand-up has been featured in the Boston Comedy Festival, the Cleveland Comedy Festival, Out of Bounds Comedy Festival, Cape Fear Comedy Festival, and the North Carolina Comedy Arts Festival. I’ve also been an actor in sketches for College Humor, IFC, Funny or Die, MTV.com, and Distractify (one of which ended up on the Today show).

Danny Felts is a comedian hailing from the great fugue state of Portland, OR. His career in comedy began when he started yelling premises to nobody in a former bands practice space. Since then he has been lucky enough to replace that practice space with actual people. Danny’s comedy/wit is hella acerbic, and he was once described as a whimsical cynic; kind of like a trapeze artist who enjoys the cool intensity of Microsoft Excel, or a golden retriever with shifty eyes.
Felts has been fortunate enough to do some cool stuff. He’s performed multiple times on the Bridgetown Comedy Festival, the Bumbershoot Music and Arts Festival, and the Salt Lake City Comedy Carnivale. He’s also been on SF Sketchfest, Hell Yes Fest, Accidental Comedy Festival, and the Orlando Indie Comedy Fest. Recently he was on Kevin Allison's storytelling show/podcast, RISK!, and has performed on The Moth.
When he is not performing he is on the internet in various forms. He currently manages the PDX COMEDY BLOG which contains all the hips and happenings within the Portland Comedy Scene. He was also the editor for the wildly popular/masochistic web series, The Spicy News, which he also wrote on.
Danny's comedy is like Iceland. Obscure, layered in an array of sweaters, and breathtakingly beautiful.

Khalid Rahmaan is a Fleetwood Mac fanatic, an adventurous eater and a Brooklyn-based standup comic, in that order. You can find Khalid integrating his rapidly gentrifying Brooklyn neighborhood at his monthly show “It's Sooo Up & Coming”. When he’s not on stage, he’s giving his take on the news in the Headliner app on your iPhone as “khalidsays”. He was a Semi-Finalist in the 2015 NBC Standup Competition and he promises he doesn't usually speak in the third person.

Upon stumbling across his first open mic sometime in 2012, life long comedy fan Joshua Morrow knew that he had found his purpose. As it turns out, living a crazy life will leave a man with a lot to say. After only a few weeks of hitting open mic nights it was apparent that his postive energy could be better applied to hosting shows, and in January of 2013 he took over a struggling open mic. The Village Idiot at Lakewood Village Tavern is now one of Clevelands most respected independent comedy shows and regularly features over 20 comics. Having also hosted countless charitable events, fundraisers, concerts, car shows, craft beer festivals, and even a mustache contest, he has become one of the most trusted Emcees Cleveland has to offer. He was most recently named House Emcee at the Bonkerz Comedy Club where he can be seen working fresh material almost every week. His charisma and quick wit will entertain any crowd from corporate events and private parties, to comedy clubs and showcases. Joshua is sure to bring your next event to its full potential.
