Featuring:

Bree Kalhorn (Host)
Born in Minnesota and raised in Omaha, Nebraska, Bree Kalhorn is anything but midwest nice. Her cutting wit and awkward charm have earned her hosting gigs at the Omaha Funny Bone and Best of Fest at The Laugh Out Loveland Comedy Festival 2023 and 2026 (The only comedian to do so twice in the festival’s four year run). Bree has traveled the country doing comedy festivals, including Snojam, Flagship Comedy Festival, and Fountain City Comedy Festival.

Meka
Meka is a stand-up comedian born and raised in Nigeria, bringing an honest, sharp point of view shaped by six years in comedy. His material draws from a true fish-out-of-water experience in the Western world, finding humor in cultural clashes, everyday absurdities, and the things people accept without ever questioning. A Second City Hollywood graduate with a background in improv and sketch comedy, Meka blends smart writing, subtle physicality, and confident timing. He also brings a grounded, hilarious perspective on marriage and fatherhood, using life with a wife and kids to uncover the unexpected truth hiding in ordinary moments. He is America’s favorite African—insightful, relatable, and quietly dangerous, proving that perspective makes everything funnier.

Grayson Taylor
