    Comedy

    Jason Stuart is a prolific character actor & stand-up comic. Born in the Bronx and raised in the Fairfax district of Los Angeles, and now residing in Palm Springs and lives next door to his 85 year old Jewish mother Gloria, but does not live with her!

    Hollywood began to take notice by casting him in films like "Kindergarten Cop," "Vegas Vacation," and TV shows like "The Closer" and "My Wife & Kids." Frustrated by years of living in the closet, Jason chose to come out publicly on an infamous episode of Geraldo Rivera focused on "Unconventional Comedians." He went on to guesting on shows as "Goliath" opposite JK Simons, "Love" from comedy guru Judd Apatow, and indie films like "Tangerine" from filmmaker Sean Baker and "Love is Strange" opposite John Lithgow and Alfred Molina. Stuart hit comedy gold with his co-star & co-creator Mitch Hara for their Amazon comedy series "Smothered" for which he won the Indie Series Awards for Best Actor In A Comedy.

  • Kiki Andersen

    Comedy

    Before she was a comic, Kiki Andersen was an Emmy award-winning news reporter under her real name, Kelly Andersen, but after enough people confused her for Kellyanne Conway on Twitter (yes, really) she decided to change her name, her career and do something way less depressing.

    Now she uses everything she learned about how the world works to make people laugh.

    Kiki lives in Los Angeles where she does standup and sketch comedy seven nights a week. Since moving west, she has rapidly moved up the comedy ladder, performing regularly at the Laugh Factory and other clubs on the west coast. She has shared the stage with comedy’s biggest stars including Bill Burr, Whitney Cummings, Jim Jefferies, Nick Kroll and others. Her podcast, Indecent with Kiki Andersen, has garnered a loyal following in just under a year since debuting. In May 2024, she was a Featured Festival Comedian for the Netflix is a Joke Festival.

  • Taylor Fogg

    Comedy

    Taylor Fogg has come a long way -- a tri-sport teen, who got an EMT certification, graduated a firefighter academy, went to college, joined a choir (we all make mistakes), and got his MBA. Now he's just that endearing guy next door with a goofy wit and jaded charm. After managing to avoid using his MBA, he's become a trained actor, practiced comedian, certified Apple Genius, and more-than-your-average coffee snob. He has no idea how he accomplished all this. His family and upbringing were typical -- parents, sister, long-lost half-brother he didn't know existed until they tracked him down with help from Vince McMahon. So, you know, average. Not complicated at all. At any rate, since finding his place, he's completed the core track at the famous Groundlings school, worked on Josh Duhamel's directorial debut, booked commercials, and more.
