- Arielle Isaac Norman
- Arielle Isaac Norman is a politically non-binary lesbian whose quick wit, dark humor, and satire cut right through the bullsh*t and get to the core of social, political, and gender issues. She is a nationally touring headliner and has also opened for Louie C.K., Maria Bamford, and Tim Dillon. Full of risky nuance, her 2024 debut special Ellen DeGenderless candidly explores all the hot button gender issues (pronouns, restrooms, sports, transition treatments, and detransition) as well as the cancellation of words. A native Texan and a gay, genderfluid Mormon, Arielle doesn’t fit in a box and doesn’t think most people really do. Arielle was the first person from the Austin comedy scene invited to be a guest panelist on the Kill Tony show. She is a regular at Moontower, Skankfest and SXSW and has performed at numerous other comedy festivals, including the prestigious Limestone and Laughing Skull festivals. Arielle was a finalist in the Funniest Person in Austin contest in both 2018 and 2019 and was a headliner of the Boulder Comedy Festival in 2023.featuring: Craig Fergola

Emily has been featured in the Washington Post and Boston Globe and has appeared on the popular 2 Dope Queens Podcast and Laughs TV on Fox.Janet McNamaraFor over ten years, Janet McNamara has thrilled audiences across the country with comedy that balances the search for identity with the search for a parking spot. From the first word, audiences are treated to an original perspective and an awkward energy that captivates undergrad hipsters and suburban housewives, sometimes at the same show (usually around Christmas).As an accountant with townie charm and no time for BS, Janet has opened for some of the biggest names in comedy and won a loyal fanbase of her own across New England.

- Michael Palascak
- Michael Palascak is a comedian who grew up in Indiana and now lives in LA. He performed on both The Late Late Show with James Corden and The Late Show with Stephen Colbert in the same year. He has over 1 million views on YouTube. In addition, his resume includes A Little Late with Lilly Singh, The Tonight Show, Letterman, Craig Ferguson, Conan, has a Comedy Central Half Hour special, and was a Top 5 Finalist on Last Comic Standing where one judge claimed, “My first impression of Michael was a great likability. This is a guy that could star in a sitcom.” Michael’s likability allows him to relate to his audiences in a real way which sets up the huge laughs he gets from his sharp, personal material. Consistently writing and performing, this summer Michael released both a new album— The Internet Live through 800 Pound Gorilla and a new stand-up special on the Dry Bar app— 1984. Available for free streaming. Drew Hunt of The Chicago Reader wrote about Michael, “In a lot of ways, he represents the ideal antidote to the sort of unbridled cynicism that pervades much of contemporary stand-up.” Michael’s optimism continues in the new National Lampoon series — The Bright Side where he takes a positive stance on a negative topic streaming on YouTube. www.michaelpalascak.com
