  • Jessimae Peluso

    Comedy

    Jessimae Peluso is a stand-up comedian, writer, and podcast host whose comedy blends raw honesty with sharp, high-energy punchlines. Best known for her breakout role on MTV’s Girl Code, she’s also hosted Netflix’s Tattoo Redo and Surviving Paradise.

    With nearly two decades in comedy, Jessimae has built a reputation for turning personal chaos into catharsis—especially after losing both of her parents. That experience fuels her advocacy work with Hilarity for Charity and the Alzheimer’s Association, where she uses humor to bring visibility and humanity to conversations around grief and brain health.

    Jessimae has performed worldwide with the USO, entertaining troops in Japan, Iraq, Poland, Norway, Bahrain, and Afghanistan. Her stand-up has been featured at Just For Laughs, New York Comedy Festival, and MoonTower, with TV appearances including The Joe Rogan Experience, Chelsea Lately, @Midnight, and Lights Out with David Spade.

    Her podcast, Dying Laughing with Jessimae, launched in 2025 with longtime friend John Stamos as the first guest and explores grief, loss, and survival—with just enough inappropriate jokes to make it all bearable.

    On stage, Jessimae delivers fearless, deeply relatable comedy that makes audiences laugh hard, feel seen, and leave lighter than they arrived. Tour dates and media: Jessimae.com

  • Gary Cannon

    Stand-up

    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.
