He regularly performs at clubs and festivals across the country, sharing stories from his unique upbringing as a missionary kid and charming audiences with an act Vanyaland magazine calls “as relatable and genuine as you can get.
Dan Gilbert

Dan has performed in the Vermont Comedy Festival and Laugh Boston; featuring for national acts such as Leah Rudick and Myq Kaplan.
Arianna Magee
Arianna Magee is an up and coming comedian from the Boston area. When Arianna is not on stage you can find her shaking from drinking too much espresso and talking to anyone who will listen about cults.
Emily Mame
Emily Mame Ford is a comedian, originally from New Hampshire, that can be seen all around New England. She started doing comedy in 2018 after a concussion she got while taking her dog out…she's never known how to yo-yo so why would she know how to walk the dog properly?! Emily is also a software engineer and brings light to the fact that she’s a woman in such a male dominated field. Emily's performances on stage are a reflection of her vibrant personality and razor-sharp wit, leaving her audiences in stitches and with a profound admiration for her comedic talents. Whether she's describing relatable stories, clever observations, or bringing light to the tech world, Emily's comedic prowess continues to soar to new heights, making her a true force to be reckoned with in the world of comedy.

Seven years later, she’s appeared at Newport, RI’s Rogue Island Comedy Festival, NYC’s Black Women in Comedy Laff Fest, Austin, TX’s Lysistrata Comedy Festival, and Toronto’s Far from Here Festival.
She’s a co-producer and co-founder of FODball Productions, a series of mics and shows dedicated to showcasing “FOD-ball” comedians (or those who are typically the ‘first, only, or different’ of their kind on comedy lineups), and as of January 2022 is hosting Pantry Raid Comedy, an online comedy show that allows comedians to share their favorite jokes” – and their strongest food-based opinions – presented by Comedy Hub. Her debut half hour, “Enjoy Your Nachos,” was released in February 2023.
