Fandom, Friendship, and Fate - The delicate art of loving something. We welcome sketch, standup, and Improv tied together by a common cause:

Letting your nerd flag fly.

Heather Joyce • Fredericksburg, VA
Heather has been bringing her unique comedic style to the DMV stand-up scene since 2019.  Her jokes are characterized by a sharp wit that is somehow personal and absurd as well as nerdy and risque.  Her act includes observational comedy, puns galore, and several original comedy songs accompanied by a mandolin.  Heather Joyce is perfect for anyone who likes their comedy smart, slightly nerdy, and unapologetically weird.

TNutt • Philadelphia, PA 
Using sketch comedy, chatacter monologues, and stories, TNutt (Teresa Nutter) explores the funny side of the darker things in life. She brings together her cacophony of comedy with her creative props and costumes to give you a show that will make you laugh and maybe cry.

Tom Hannigan • Philadelphia, PA
Tom Hannigan draws from his life to generate comedic material. That includes adventures with substances, personal fascinations, strange jobs, and a less-than-ideal childhood.

Wizard Police • Lehigh Valley/Bethlehem, PA
Wizard Police patrol the rusty region of the Bethlehem Steelstacks. That is to say that they are a two-time resident improv "house team" based at SteelStacks in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. With a blend of short form spontaneity that turns into long form comical storytelling, they enjoy bringing laughter to audiences throughout the Southeastern PA region and beyond.
