Chey Bell
Touching on everything from family, drugs, jobs, sexuality to misspelled tattoos, Chey Bell’s comedy is best described as articulately scatter brained, brutally honest and uniquely clever.She has performed at the Comedy Store in LA, Laff Factory and Flappers Comedy club.

Rachman Blake
Rachman hosts the comedy dating show, “Flirting with Laughter” touring comedy dating show and has appeared at The Comedy Store, Punchline and Cobb’s.

Emily Van Dyke
Emily Van Dyke is 30 and still on her mom’s cell phone plan. She is not related to Dick Van Dyke. Emily’s confidence is especially impressive considering her struggle with teenage acne and her chubby white Russian phase.

Steve Post
Steve Post is a stand up comic from Somerville, MA. Based in San Francisco, he performs all over the city. Considered to be one of the best up-and-coming comics by himself and close friends, you’re gonna want to keep an eye on him.

Kevin Munroe
Kevin Munroe is a Trinidadian Comedian and Actor based in San Francisco. He was co-creator of “Ebony and Irony Show,” opened for Tracy Morgan (yes, that guy) and W. Kamau Bell, and was recently seen at the 2013 Bridgetown Comedy Festival.

Trevor Hill
Trevor Hill has performed at SF Sketchfest, the Great American Comedy Festival, Sacramento Comedy Fest, Shits & Giggles Comedy Fest, Minneapolis’ 10,000 Laughs Fest, as well as clubs and theaters throughout the United States and England. Trevor’s comedy has been featured in the San Francisco Chronicle, SF Weekly, SF Bay Guardian and Washington Post.

Stroy Moyd (Oddball Festival with Dave Chappelle)
Recently opened for Tracy Morgan and Hannibal Buress, won the Laugh Factory Hollywood’s Fresh Faces comedy competition 3 consecutive times, performed on the ‘Up Next’ showcase for Comedy Central, and opened up for Dave Chappell.

Aly jones
Aly has performed at the SF Sketchfest, Punchline, Flappers Burbank, and in clubs and bars from Seattle to Los Angeles. Together with Ron Chapman, Scott Simpson and Brandon Stokes, she co-produces the monthly show Fun Times with Friends, and was featured in 2013 SF Sketchfest.

Luke Lockfeld
San Francisco Native Luke Lockfeld has performed in both The San Francisco Sketchfest and The Out of Bounds Comedy Festival in Austin. His laid back presence and attitude captivates audiences, and his cleverly devised material consisting of ingenious one liners and developed bits (ok; they’re mostly one liners) delights audiences who are lucky enough to witness the indescribable experience that takes place when he takes the stage.

Duat Mai (SF Sketchfest, SF Int’l Comedy Competition, Laugh Factory Hollywood)

Duat Mai combines witty and interesting observations with a compelling delivery to hook the audiences from beginning to end. When people laugh, they not only laugh but think, “that is true,” and “I have never looked at it that way.” His comedy captivates all audiences from all racial background and all age ranges.
