Mandy Kay
Mandy Kay is an absolute delight, just ask her! Her relatable style and Southern Charm brings smiles to everyone she meets.
Growing up in the South and now residing in Denver, she has captured audiences while being unapologetically in her 40s.
She was a featured performer at the 2021 High Plains Comedy Festival in Denver, a semi-finalist in the 2022 Funniest Person In Austin Contest at Cap City Comedy, and she’s continually popping up at comedy festivals across the country.
She has also cleaned bathrooms in several different states, but tries not to brag about it too much.
Derek Sheen
Derek Sheen is a cuddly mess of undiagnosed trauma and insecurity, and a gifted, one-of-a-kind storyteller. His ability to mine humor from the dank, humid corners of the human condition has made him a cult favorite of comedy nerds around the globe.
Sheen has released four critically acclaimed albums with Minneapolis-based Stand Up! Records, produced by Grammy nominees Dan Schlissel and also Matt Bayless (Mastodon, Minus The Bear), and toured nationally with his comedy heroes Brian Posehn and Patton Oswalt.
This Fall Sheen will embark on a national tour for his new one-person show, "MotherL*ver", about finding laughter in the darkest places imaginable: grief and loss. It's actually more fun than it sounds!
Richard Lanoie-Serious Comedy Site- "Sheen more than proves there are still some great, original, and intelligently dark comics out there."
Brooks Wheelan
Brooks originally hails from Iowa where he attended the University of Iowa. In 2015, he released his debut album This Is Cool, Right?, which hit #1 on the iTunes charts and was included on PASTE Magazine’s 10 Best Comedy Albums of 2015 list.
