The Comedians magazine calls him “a comedy machine, in the best possible way. The way that some machines vend soda or prevent other machines from killing future revolutionaries – that’s how Myq Kaplan does comedy: relentlessly, methodically, unblinkingly.”

Bruce Jingles
A steady fixture in the Southern California comedy scene, Bruce Jingles was born to be a showman. His comedic brand blends just the right amount of wit, impersonation, and essential timing, making him a hit in front of any crowd.

Whether he’s impersonating drunks, juxtaposing stereotypes, or recounting his various run-ins with the law, Jingles’ material is endearingly eloquent and rife with intelligence. Jingles has also done considerable work in radio, participating in shows on KCAA NBC-AM, as well as several established podcasts, adding another layer to his already engaging performance.

He’s written for and been featured on Comedy Central Digital, Fox, Amazon Prime, Southern California Public Radio, and more. Ramsey is also the creator and host of Now is Not the Time, a podcast and monthly show highlighting the absolute best of the very worst social media responses to current events.
Todd Johnson
To most people, growing up in Idaho isn’t a life changing experience (well duh). But that is where Todd Johnson’s comedy got its start (I thought it was at crispy creme). At a very young age, Todd learned to laugh at himself (everyone did), as well as those around him. During the early years of school, Todd was very quiet and chose to practice his comedy on cows, sheep, and other barnyard animals (I’m not going to even comment). Telling knock-knock jokes and one-liners to Holsteins quickly proved boring (so he ate em). Todd learned that people laughed at his jokes. And a comedian was born. Growing up in Idaho familiarized Todd with a variety of things. His observations of life’s experiences are funny (especially when he’s talking about himself), not in the way you would expect them to be, especially coming from a simple-minded boy from Idaho. His clean humor and the way he puts a mental image in your mind make you see a different side of life.
Conor Kellicut
Kicking off his career at the Holy City Zoo, Conor has been touring the world since 1991 doing stand up, writing and acting. He has worked with the likes of Dave Attell, Robin Williams and Dave Chappelle. Conor has appeared in Woody Allen’s “Blue Jasmine” along side Kate Blanchett. He is a regular at The Punch Line in San Francisco and Cobbs Comedy Club. Conor is also the creator and host of “Meet the People, Tonight!”, a late night talk show filmed live at Doc’s Lab in San Francisco.
Mark Pitta
Mark Pitta is a national headliner coming from the fervent San Francisco comedy scene of the 1980s. Mark’s career flourished in LA, first, fulfilling his dream of appearing on The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson then subsequent appearances with Jay Leno.
