He has performed at The SF Punchline, Cobbs Comedy Club, The San Jose Improv and this year’s LA Comedy Festival. He is also the online commercial spokesman, “Dr. Ryan” for Desk.com and the co-host/creator of the “Judging Silicon Valley” podcast.

Bert DiVietri – A San Francisco-based comedian originally from Lansing, Michigan, Bert Divietri was a regular at the world famous Purple Onion, a member of the Young Guns of Comedy, and the co-founder of the comedy hip-hop group Death Ray Astray who recently released two music videos for their most requested songs. He has been featured in military fundraisers, nerd comedy venues, and hip-hop comedy shows all across the USA.

Emily Van Dyke – Winner of the 2013 “Walk The Plank Comedy Competition”, Emily Van Dyke is still on her mom’s cell phone plan. Originally from Indiana, The Crossroads of America, she has struggled to overcome a monotone voice and nearsightedness to become a comic and educator.

Brian Fields – Brian grew up a hick boy in the southern part of Ohio. He bagged groceries during the summer. He became a professional poker player and made a bunch of money. He has a Ph.D. in Computers. When he decided to take up comedy, there was no doubt he would be successful. Within six months, he was in the finals of the Battle of the Bay Comedy Competition. Brian believes happiness is possible in this world, however ephemeral.

Plus, there will be an audience free prize giveaway.
