David Harris is a nationally touring, Midwest Emmy Award Winning comedian, magician, actor, and host. He’s been entertaining across the US and Canada at top clubs, colleges, corporate events, and theaters for over 20 years. Based in his hometown of Minneapolis, Harris won 2017’s Minnesota’s Funniest Person Contest and performed in its 10,000 Laughs Festival two years in a row. Harris has worked with some of the best in the business and has even starred in commercials and videos for Panchero’s Mexican Grill and Robert Half International. Harris’ act is fun, relatable, creative, interactive, and most of all – hilarious.
Ashley Gutermuth is a New Jersey-based stand-up comedian. She has appeared on ‘The Tonight Show’ with Jimmy Fallon where she was chosen by Jerry Seinfeld to win the ‘Seinfeld Challenge.’ Her high-energy, positive style of comedy is irresistible. Ashley’s comedy is focused on her unusual relationships and observations about life. In June 2020, Ashley won Blue City Comedy’s Comic of the Month competition, based in Boise, Idaho. When Ashley is not performing stand-up or voice-overs, she is usually running and has a daily running streak that spans over five years.

Molly Sokhom started making audiences laugh in the San Francisco, California in 2008. She began producing and performing her own shows at local coffee shops, theatres, and night clubs. Molly made a move to New Zealand in 2014 and continued to make audiences laugh and had made a name for herself on the comedy scene as an emerging comedian and MC. She commands the stage: affably and sassily navigating her way through life's awkward moments.
Oscar Pruitt, one of the funniest comedians in the Mid-South, he’s excited crowds at Zanie’s in Nashville, The Stardome in Birmingham, and Chuckles in Memphis.
Grant Lyon has been described by San Francisco Weekly as “a hilariously sharp observer, not one of those tired white-guy bellyachers,” Grant was chosen as a New Face in comedy at the Just For Laughs Festival, winning the Laughing Skull Comedy Festival, and being a finalist in the Big Sky Festival. He plays a fun role in the second season of The Comedy Central show “Corporate” and stars in the Amazon Prime feature film Killer Kate! As well as performing in a number of other prestigious comedy festivals including The Great American Comedy Festival, Bumbershoot Music & Arts Festival, and the Bridgetown Comedy Festival, Grant’s performed on the TV show Comics Unleashed. He has appeared on the nationally syndicated Bob and Tom Radio Show and has been a guest on numerous popular podcasts including Doug Loves Movies. “Scheduled Fun Time,” his album with 800 Pound Gorilla records, hit number #1 and has been the featured album on multiple SiriusXM channels like LaughUSA and Jeff and Larry. As well as being a contributing writer for the Huffington Post, the film he wrote and starred in, Interview Date, was eligible for a short film Academy Award. Funny or Die, MSN, Huffington Post, and others are among the sites that have featured Grant’s sketch videos on their home pages. You might also recognize him from a number of national commercials including AT&T, Johnsonville Sausage, CiCi’s Pizza, and more. His debut board game, Curmudgeon, comes out later in 2020, published by 25th Century Games.
