Maddy Smith is the fastest comedian you will ever see live. With machine gun-style jokes, Maddy delivers an hour of nonstop laughs, fit for anyone who can keep up with her pace. She's quick on her feet and not afraid of a roast: beware of the front row!
One of NYC's top comedians, she's a regular at The Comedy Cellar, New York Comedy Club and more. Maddy is known for her 7-season run on MTV's Wild N Out where Nick Cannon praised her for her cutting roasts, quick wit, and no-holds-bar attitude. Her Wild N Out compilations on YouTube have gathered millions of views and the classic nickname: Maddy with the Fatty. Most would say she's out of pocket, but Maddy knows she's here for a good time.
Maddy has opened for Theo Von & Bert Kreischer, she's appeared at the Just for Laughs Festival, and she's toured internationally since 2022. Her 2026 "Bad Genes Tour" is traveling all throughout the country with a brand-new hour of material.
When she's not on stage, you can catch Maddy on her weekly podcast Mad House, where she's joined by fellow comedians to unpack and evaluate their inner madness. Maddy also hosts a short advice segment series called Happy To Help, released weekly on YouTube.

Stand-up
Brooklyn native Damien Lemon's comedy career began from his seat in the back of public school classrooms over 20 years ago and continued at his college alma mater Clark Atlanta University where he fine-tuned his ability to make people laugh until they cough and choke. Over the last few years he has rapidly built a name for himself on the New York City comedy circuit and beyond. On stage his material comes from everywhere and nowhere from fornicating politicians driving up sex prices to the "Stop BCC'N!" campaign and is delivered with a flair that can best be described as an all-inclusive bug-out session.
