  • Samantha Hale

    Stand-up

    Samantha Hale is the creator and host of “Horror Nerd,” the monthly horror-themed stand-up comedy show at the Hollywood Improv. Her latest special, Samantha Hale: Horror Nerd was recently released by Comedy Dynamics. Samantha has appeared and hosted at comedy clubs nationwide as well as at more unusual locations such as Midsummer Scream and other horror conventions, San Diego and Los Angeles Comic Cons, and Missing at the Mortuary, a funeral home-turned-event space that is the subject of HBO’s docuseries The Mortician. Born and raised in Los Angeles, Samantha is following in the comedic footsteps of her grandfather, Alan Hale, Jr., best known as The Skipper from Gilligan’s Island, and her great-grandfather, Alan Hale, Sr., who played opposite Errol Flynn in classic Hollywood swashbuckler films.

  • Veronica Shea

    Stand-up

    An Irish Catholic-Jew, Veronica Shea is an irreverent comedian and a writer from an all-lawyer family in Reno, Nevada. She is the co-host of the podcast Criminal Gines, and would prefer you only speak to her about Brits, serial killers, and Bernese Mountain Dogs.

  • Jason Horton

    Comedy

    Originally from New York, Jason is a comedian and published author. He has been seen on Comedy Central, America's Funniest Videos, and the History Channel. Jason has performed at Don't Tell Comedy, The Comedy Store, Hollywood Improv, Mic Drop, and Helium. Jason hosts the history podcast Ghost Town, featured in both Vulture and Entertainment Tonight.

  • Kayla Hardy

    Comedy

    Comedian Kayla Hardy was born and raised in Los Angeles, but that’s not what made her bitter. At a young age, she was sent off to Catholic school where she never quite fit in with the sexy school girl aesthetic. Instead, she won over her classmates with her acerbic wit & blistering dead pan delivery. Fittingly, Kayla went on to produce the wildly popular comedy shows, “Bitter Critics” &  “LA vs. Transplants” in LA, San Diego & beyond and she’s performed at some of the biggest clubs in the country. Kayla also wrote and produced a short film called “Corpse Shamed” because only in Los Angeles can you still be body shamed when you’re dead.
