Savannah Stewart
A dry, witty comic, Savannah has been doing comedy around the bay area for the last three years. While performing at an open mic at Brainwash cafe, she landed her first gig. Savannah has performed at a wide variety of venues including Yoshi’s and the Great Star Theatre in San Francisco. If Chelsea Handler and George Carlin had an illegitimate lesbian daughter who very much enjoyed wearing lipstick this would be her.

Chey Bell
While Chey Bell’s comedy is best described as articulately scatter brained, brutally honest and uniquely clever. Touching on everything from family, drugs, jobs, sexuality to misspelled tattoos; it’s a wild ride of unbelievable life situations and self discovery. Since moving to Los Angeles from Silicon Valley, Chey Bell has performed at the infamous Comedy Store Comedy Club, Laff Factory and Flappers Comedy club and established a solid presence in the Los Angeles comedy scene. Having had more than 10 jobs ranging from the eclectic to the desperate, since moving to Los Angeles, Chey Bell brings a wide range of experiences making her act relate-able to almost every type of comedy fan.

Karen Ripley
Keep your eye on RIPLEY. Her comedy comes from her life experiences. From the “bluest lesbian jokes” to the most thought provoking political insights. Karen Ripley came on to the gay comedy scene in 1977 in San Francisco. From the cover of the East Bay Express (Berkeley, Ca) with Whoopi Goldberg to Ms. Magazines top 100 Lesbian Comic 2009. 2005 SF Fringe Best Musical Comedy with Annie Larson in the original play “Show Me where it Hurts,” and 2006 Diva Fest. with “waiting for FEMA.” Ripley has traveled all over the USA and the Caribbean. Featured in Logo’s Wisecracks episode 2.

Anthony Guzman Jr.
JR De Guzman seamlessly blends music and comedy to entertain crowds all over the US and abroad, having performed also in France, the Netherlands, Singapore, Philippines, Malaysia and Indonesia. With sharp one-liners and funny songs such as “Prom Story,” JR serenades audiences into fits of laughter. This versatility has allowed him to entertain comedy and music fans alike, having done shows with musicians ‘Passion’ and 80’s band ‘Pablo Cruise’ (your parents know who they are), as well as comedians Margaret Cho, Paul Mooney, Butch Bradley, Ruben Paul, Rex Navarette, and Edwin San Juan.

Loren Kraut
Awkwardly hilarious, Loren’s unorthodox style of comedy juxtaposes playfulness with deeply dark humor. She turns grim subject matter, like depression and suicide, on its ear, presenting the bleakness of mental illness with unexpected wit and levity. Ever the outsider, Loren gives us a glimpse into her weird, silly and often tragic world that, in the end, is surprisingly life affirming. Loren performed in SF Sketchfest 2013 and 2014 and will be in Sketchfest 2015. She was a finalist in the Killer Laughs Comedy Competition, 2014, and also a finalist in the Battle of the Bay Comedy Competition 2007 and 2009. She also produced & co-hosted “Life with Laughter” a monthly variety showcase.
