STAND-UP COMEDY from Dave Villiotti (Orlando) Mo Macsai (Brooklyn), Jack Obringer (Raleigh), Sherri Arnett (Louisville), William Kean (NYC), Chris Tester (Johnson City), Kalliope (NYC), Isa Quiros (LA)

This show features several stand-up comedy sets from across the country: Dave Villiotti (Orlando) Mo Macsai (Brooklyn), Jack Obringer (Raleigh), Sherri Arnett (Louisville), William Kean (NYC), Chris Tester (Johnson City), Kalliope (NYC), and Isa Quiros (LA)

Dave Villiotti was born and raised in Pittsburgh, but moved the whole family to the Orlando area a few years ago chasing a fresh start. At 41, after building and navigating businesses including a fractional CFO advisory practice and a failed venture that taught him plenty about resilience he found himself needing a better way to handle life’s curveballs. Dave now channels real-life stories into clean stand-up comedy that everyone can enjoy—no swearing, no politics, just big laughs about marriage, homeschooling three kids (two witty daughters and one awesome adopted son), sleep apnea victories, Florida Man moments, hurricanes, high school baseball glory (and injuries), faith-filled family chaos, and the everyday absurdities that make life hilarious. As the host of Clean Comedy Night Out at venues like Rock ‘N Rev in Ocoee, and a comedian available for private events, corporate shows, and faith-based gatherings, Dave delivers high-laugh-density, relatable humor that leaves audiences feeling good. Whether you’re a fellow Pittsburgh transplant, a local family looking for clean entertainment, or a group that wants comedy without the edge, you’re in the right place.

Jack Obringer is a Raleigh stand-up comedian born and raised in North Carolina. Performing in shows and festivals across the east coast, Jack is known for his witty and observational style of humor.

A finalist in both the World Series of Comedy and Queen of the Rings, Sherri brings Southern charm, sharp observations, and stories that prove real life is usually funnier than anything you could make up.

When he isn't performing around the area, he is losing friends by destroying them in board games or making money by forcing computers to bend to his will.
