  • Amy Miller

    Comedy

    Amy Miller was one of Comedy Central’s “Up Next" comics, and has a brand new Half Hour Special called Ham Mouth on the Comedy Central YouTube channel. As a brand new comic she was a breakout favorite in the final season of Last Comic Standing. She has a half hour comedy special on Epix's Unprotected Sets and her Comedy Central Presents set has been viewed over 3 million times on Youtube and Facebook. She was also a featured comic on Viceland's Flophouse. On Last Comic Standing, Keenen Ivory Wayans said she had one of the “fiercest jokes he had ever heard.” Originally from the East Bay, Amy found her comedy chops in Oakland and is still a regular at the SF Punch Line and Cobb’s Comedy Club. Her material is personal, political, and 100% authentic. The Laugh Button says “She found a wildly creative way to find empowerment while simultaneously sparking laughter” and Courting Comedy says “Miller juxtaposes an unassuming demeanor with unflinching assurance.” After a move to Portland, Amy quickly rose to the top of the Pacific Northwest comedy scene, winning Portland’s Funniest in Helium's 2015 contest, as well as being voted Portland’s Funniest Comedian for 2013 and 2015 in the Willamette Week. She was the first woman to win each position and the only one to win all three. 

    Amy’s debut album Solid Gold is available on Kill Rock Stars, and was named one of the top 10 comedy albums of 2016 by The Interrobang. You may have also seen Amy on Viceland or heard her on Sirius XM, NPR, Doug Loves Movies, The Adam Carolla Show, The Bennington Show, Put Your Hands Together, All Fantasy Everything, Keith and the Girl, or her own podcast "Who's Your God?." 

    Amy is a nationally touring festival and comedy club headliner, and she has performed in the Moontower Comedy Festival, Bridgetown Comedy Fest, SxSW, the High Plains Comedy Fest, Laughing Skull, Big Sky, San Francisco Sketchfest, the Bumbershoot Festival and more.

  • Lana Salah

    Comedy

     Lana Salah is a Palestinian-American comedian based in Los Angeles whose path to stand-up began with an engineering degree and a career in the corporate world.
    With a dry, deadpan style, Lana explores personal identity alongside politics, current events, and the absurdities of modern life. Her comedy pairs sharp observations with an understated delivery and an unexpected point of view.

    Lana has performed at the Comedy Store, the Hollywood Improv, and the Netflix Is a Joke Festival, sharing stages with Tim Dillon, Bassem Youssef, and Andrew Santino. She is also the co-producer of Bigfoot Comedy, one of Los Angeles’ fastest-growing independent comedy shows, featured in LA Weekly.
