Stand-up
Kira Soltanovich is best known as the voice of the photo booth on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno. A one time bit turned into almost 9 years as a correspondent on the show. She was a regular on both seasons of Punchline on FOX and look for Kira as the surly sidekick to host Donald Faison on the Netflix game show, Winsanity! Kira has a half hour special on Showtime called Here Comes Trouble and an hour special on Amazon called You Did This To Me.
You’ve seen her on Comedy Central’s Lights Out with David Spade and on TruTV’s How To Be A Grownup.
Currently, Kira is back working with her old boss, Jay Leno, on the reboot of the old game show You Bet Your Life on FOX. And don’t forget to check out her talk show in a sauna (where she beats fellow comedians with Russian branches) called Let’s Get Sweat! on her website www.kiracomedy.com

Maxi Witrak
Maxi Witrak
Comedy
Maxi Witrak is an open book with a few pages torn out.
After a sheltered upbringing complete with show ponies (that’s right, Maxi was a World Champion Equestrian) and controlling mom-ager, her stand-up comedy speaks about ditching privilege and going after teenage dreams immediately after graduating college. Now she’s a drummer for a pop punk band, with the fashion sense of a 17 year old raised by brothers. This part-tomboy, part grunge-goddess from Seattle faces adulthood with unbridled disappointment.
