Stand-up
Jerrold Benford is currently establishing himself as a fixture on the eastern comedy circuit. Born and raised in Virginia, Jerrold began his career in New Jersey, where he quickly made a name for himself and performed at the New Jersey and New York’s finest clubs including: Rascals, Broadway Comedy Club, New York Comedy Club, Stand Up NY, Gotham Comedy Club, and the renowned Caroline’s on Broadway. Jerrold continues to perfect his craft. Within two years of his stand-up debut, he was featuring and headlining clubs, colleges, and private functions all over the tri-state area.
“My first actual comedy club headline opportunity came from Catch A Rising Star in Princeton, NJ. They continually bring me back to close the show.”
His distinctive perspective on dating and marriage topics combines with a high energy, friendly delivery to create wickedly clever content and a wildly funny act. His eye for absurdities in everyday life and his quirky, unique writing style leaves crowds in stitches.
“I consider myself a damn fool that loves to make people laugh – in other words I’m Funny For No Damn Reason.”
He has been described by audience members as “hilarious” and “funny as hell”, while bookers have labeled Jerrold as a definite “rising star”. Intelligent and silly, Jerrold’s act has become a hit all up and down the east coast, entertaining crowds young and old of different backgrounds and tastes.

Jimmy McDonald toured the north east as a musician for several years before dropping the guitar and becoming a full on stand up comic. As a comedian, he has performed all over the north east including some of the most legendary comedy clubs in New York City (such as Stand Up NY, Dangerfield’s, Broadway and EastVille Comedy Club).
Jimmy won the Hudson Valley’s 2017 “Roast-Madness” roast battle tournament, has been featured at premium clubs such as The FunnyBone (Albany, NY), and has become a regular at Levity Live (West Nyack, NY). He continues to grow his brand of personal, introspective, and self deprecating humor by hosting, featuring, headlining and appearing on shows all over the Metro NY and Hudson Valley markets. In addition to standup, Jimmy has starred in sketches that have been on Funny or Die!, and has made multiple appearances as a guest on the popular YouTube channel and podcast of LA based comedian Mike Falzone.
