Canadian comedian Debra DiGiovanni is one of a kind. She’s been called the “Best Comedian to see after a Messy Break Up” and for the years 2008/2009-she was named Toronto’s (her home town) favorite comedian. In 2008, she taped her second “Comedy Now!” special for CTV/Comedy network and in 2009 she taped her second gala at Montreal’s Just for Laughs Festival. She also taped her first special on Comedy Central with her Live at Gotham recorded in New York City. Her special, “Single Awkward Female” premiered on Showtime in January 2012. Debra’s comedy has a sharp edge while maintaining a playful, happy air and her persona is one of the best developed of any comic working today. Couple that with a hilarious act that is so personal everyone can relate and you see why Debra is so popular; her humour and charm lies in her unflinching honesty and openness.

Jon Huck is a comedian, actor & writer who is still trying to figure out what he wants to be when he grows up. He enjoys laughing and wants you to laugh. Laughter is good. His material walks the gamut between idiotic shenanigans and the infinite energy of the universe. There’s also probably some stuff in there about his cat.
Jon performs all over the country and has appeared on Live at Gotham & This Is Not Happening for Comedy Central and Showtime’s Comedy From SXSW. Jon has opened for Harland Williams, Bert Kreischer, Chris Porter, Lachlan Patterson, Henry Phillips, Doug Stanhope and Dan Cummins among others.
Currently, you can see Jon as Sam, a grim reaper without a clue, on the series My Death Co. He has appeared in several independent movies, a number of national commercials and portrayed a handful of characters during the original run of MTV’s popular hidden camera show Punk’d. Recently, you may have seen Jon in How I Met Your Father on HULU, NBC’s Superstore, 9-1-1 on FOX and B Positive, Seal Team & Angel From Hell on CBS. -

Though raised by a pack of wolves, it is the combination of Caribbean roots, urban upbringing and Ivy League education that define Black Pedro’s unique comedic style. Growing up in the Detroit Public School System, Pedro often had to verbally defend himself, as he was the only Black child around with a full Spanish name. As a result, a keen wit and sharp tongue were developed, and later backed by the insight and analytical skills provided by a Princeton education. It was there that Pedro first discovered his talent as a comedian by co-producing and directing what ended up being one of Princeton’s most popular comedy troupes. After graduation it was time for the big test, Los Angeles; where he has been ever since. Pedro is now a regular at the world famous Hollywood Improv and Laugh Factory, 2 of LA’s premier comedy clubs, and is making a name for himself at clubs and on college campuses across America. Pedro’s television debut came as a cast member on season one of the hit BET show “Hell Date” where he played some of the more popular characters like “The Ventriloquist” and “The Napoleon Complex”. He has since gone on to appear on shows like “Comics Unleashed,” “Prank My Mom,” “On Air Dares” and dozens of national commercials. His unique background and upbringing give him the range to speak on everything from riding the city bus to the current state of global politics with equal insight. He’s Black, he’s Pedro, he’s funny.

A biomedical engineer by day, stand-up comedian by night, Pallavi Gunalan is smart enough to know she's dumb. She dives deep into subjects including her family, relationships (or lack thereof), and her tolerance for stupidity, which is as low as her standards for the people she dates. She performed vocal skits on Ruby Ibarra's hit debut album, Circa91, and has opened for Todd Barry, Preacher Lawson, and many other amazing comedians. She also creates and stars in the web series Dirty Science and has performed at Desi Comedy Festival, SF Sketchfest, Portland Queer Comedy Festival, Pittsburgh Comedy Festival, 208 Comedy Festival, the All Jane Comedy Festival, New York Comedy Fest, and on the Kill Tony Podcast, as well as at clubs all over the US and India (Pune, Mumbai, and Chennai). In Spring, 2018 she received the Upright Citizens Brigade Diversity Scholarship and is currently on a UCB Mess Hall team. She also produces Oversharing Comedy. In her spare time, Pallavi is tired. Luckily, she wouldn't have it any other way. Check out her website, Instagram, Twitter, YouTube, Patreon, and Facebook.
