About this event

Nancy Burkett draws her observational humor from her experience as a public high school teacher, single mom, and online dater. With performances in 11 states and 2 countries, you'll be wishing your teachers and your mom had been this blunt... and this funny!
Amy J Douglas is a young stand-up comic just breaking into the comedy scene. Her comedy features the absurdities of being a trans person in America right now.
Michael Halcomb recently moved his family from Hawaii to the Carolinas because... why enjoy life when you can resent it?! Offstage, he teaches college students, raises kids who ignore him, and keeps his marriage alive... with his Ph.D. in apologizing.
Chris Freeland is a Greenville, SC native who started performing live comedy in 2015 after taking classes at the Lachemy Comedy Theater. Since then he has performed stand up and improv comedy all over the south east and has also been the star of several viral videos.
Marcus Evans is the former booker of comedy for Electric Daisy Carnival in Las Vegas and is the producer of over 100 shows in Los Angeles.
