Shapel Lacey
Shapel Lacey
Stand-up
Shapel Lacey is a Los Angeles based comedian born and raised in Mesa, Arizona. A diehard punk rocker and former award-winning competitive cheerleader, Shapel found ways to express himself and own his individuality at an early age. Shapel was cheerleading competitively for University of Louisville when someone dared him to take the stage as a comedian and he never looked back, dropping out shortly thereafter to pursue a career in stand up full-time. His unique life experiences such as being adopted by a Caucasian family at age 15, his punk rock mentality, and his stage presence make for a truly original voice in the comedy community. Diligence and the desire to grow led Shapel from the Phoenix open mic circuit onto main stages, where he regularly performed for comedians such as Bill Burr, Hannibal Buress, and Brendan Schaub, and is now headlining clubs across the country. Shapel was selected to be a “New Face” at the 2019 Just For Laughs Comedy Festival.

Greg Warren

According to Punchline Magazine Greg Warren is a comic who’s been “on the rise for the last decade.” Most recently seen on “The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson ” Greg’s humor is largely based on stories and characters from his Midwestern background. Called a “comic’s comic” by Kim Coles and “that white dude” by an anonymous audience member Greg made several appearances on BET’s “Coming To The Stage ” where he captivated audiences and judges with anecdotes of his crazy Uncle Earl and the conflicts inherent in meshing two high school identities: varsity wrestler and clarinet player (aka band geek).
Greg’s TV credits also include Country Music Television’s “Comedy Stage” and Comedy Central’s “Premium Blend ” where he was warmly endorsed by Wanda Sykes. A favorite on the nationally syndicated “Bob and Tom” radio show Greg entertained in theaters across the country with the “Friends of Bob and Tom Comedy Tour.” His “Flute Man” bit is one of the most requested in the history of the show. In it he perfectly capsulizes the insecurities of high school and the ongoing quest to be cool. Greg grew up in St. Louis with his dad who was his high school wrestling coach an experience that served as a wellspring of material and his mother who made him wear ridiculous clothes and take clarinet lessons another source of comedic inspiration. He was a West Point cadet for about a year where he distinguished himself by amassing an impressive tally of demerits and endless hours of pointless marching. At the University of Missouri he studied journalism and was named an All-American wrestler. While a student at Mizzou Greg won a comedy contest and was invited to perform at a local club Déjà Vu. After a stint pitching Pringles and Jif for corporate giant Proctor & Gamble Greg made the move to full time comedian. From an early invitation to Montreal’s Just For Laughs festival to his ongoing cross-country club appearances Greg continues to make people laugh.

Gary Cannon’s mom knew her son had comedic talent when, at the young age of five, Gary had a very bad cold. At the time, his mom was out of kleenex and offered her son toilet paper instead. Gary quickly replied, “I need to blow my nose not wipe my ass.” After getting the @#$% beaten out of him, and a timeout, his comedy career began.
Gary began making people laugh in San Francisco but soon moved to LA. After a short time in LA things started happening. He was soon working at all the Southern California Improv clubs, was a regular host at the Hollywood Improv, consistently emceeing shows with some of the biggest names in comedy.
His amazing crowd skills, high energy and ability to jump-start an audience enabled Gary to transition his skills to a television warm-up comic. Anyone visiting LA and seeing a show tape in front of an audience has probably met Gary. He sets the tone before and during the show creating a fun atmosphere and making audiences enjoy their time especially when many shows can often take hours to tape.
