KEN ROGERSON- “The funniest man you’ve never heard of,” started his comedy career working the Chicago club circuit and at the famed Second City. Ken moved East and became a central part of the historic ‘80’s Boston comedy scene as documented in the film When Stand Up Stood Out. He has also made numerous other television appearances on such shows as NBC’s, Late Night with Conan O’Brien, The Late Show with David Letterman, Comedy Central’s Comics Come Home, and Showtime’s A Pair of Jokes.

Steve Bjork – The Boston Globe recently described Steve Bjork as “one of the top names” in New England stand-up comedy. He’s come a long way from his nights of frying up mozzarella sticks in the back room of a popular Boston comedy club. He was a college student, using that part-time job to study the craft of stand-up comedy by catching glimpses of the performers on stage.

Greg Boggis- a New England-based stand-up comic, actor, print model, writer, frequent contributor to the Atlas Obscura, and comedy show producer with twenty years of experience in the entertainment business. Greg can be seen in the documentary film, The Strange Name Movie, now showing on Netflix.
