Andrew Cornelius loves "delightful chaos". Backed by two decades of improv in Chicago & New York, Los Angeles based Andrew brings a masterclass in conversational storytelling to his stages. He turns life's darkest detours and awkward misadventures into magnetic comedy. Honest, hilarious, and completely unafraid to embrace truth in comedy.

Melissa Mann is a North Carolina stand-up comedian. She’s forty and feral with sharp, relatable takes on dating, ADHD, motherhood, and starting over.

Tommy Spears is an LA-based comedian and writer who escaped Indiana after 18 years. A middle child with two sisters, he had no choice but to perform stand-up comedy. Whether he's performing improv with his duo Harpoon! all across the country or performing standup at the world famous Hollywood improv, he always conjures up absurdity and fun!

Ralph Krumins—known on stage as Ivories Guy—is an international performer with over two decades of improvisational mastery, award-winning artist, and educator. Rooted in the principles of Playback Theatre, his performances transform real audience stories into fully realized, original songs in real time. Through intimate, spontaneous conversations, Ralph channels each person’s dreams, joys, and fears into music that feels both deeply personal and universally resonant. A master of blending musicality with human connection, his work balances humor, vulnerability, and storytelling with striking precision. Each performance becomes a shared ritual building to a powerful, audience-inspired finale that leaves crowds spellbound. Audiences describe Ivories Guy as moving, cathartic, and unforgettable. An experience that lingers long after the final note fades.

Meridian Hill Comedy Club is the oldest comedy club in Washington, DC. Just kidding! It's a guy who turned his living room into a bootleg comedy venue and is not taking his act on the road!

Hot Dog Tony is a Greensboro, NC -based sketch comedy trio featuring A.J. Schraeder, Milly Mason, and Seth Payne. Their work blends absurdist comedy and social satire, building sketches that begin in recognizable situations before escalating into increasingly strange territory. Combining live performance with multimedia elements, Hot Dog Tony regularly performs as part of Bizarro Box at The Idiot Box Comedy Club, delivering character-driven sketches that mix escalating absurdity with lightly surreal emotional punches. They have been official selections at the Philly and Portland Sketchfests.
