Steve Gillespie’s second comedy album “Alive on State” reached #1 on iTunes Comedy Charts and hit the top 10 on the Billboard charts. His 3rd comedy album “Liminal Bliss” was released earlier this year with Helium Comedy Records. It reached #2 on the iTunes Comedy Charts, so he is getting worse.
Gillespie has appeared on CONAN, Amazon Prime’s “Inside Joke”, and FOX’s “Laughs - All Stars”. Gillespie’s act a is a slaphappy balance of aggression and absurdity, coupled with a delightfully pushy persona that has earned him spots at some of the best festivals in country including the Bridgetown Comedy Festival, Boston Comedy Festival, 10k Laughs, and High Plains Comedy Festival in Denver, CO. He was named a finalist in CMT’s Next Big Comic, runner up for Best of the Midwest at Gilda’s Laughfest, and his debut album “Steve Fever” was named a top 10 comedy album of the year by ComedyReviews.com
Gillespie has also had the pleasure of sharing the stage with some of the best comics in the country, including opening appearances for Rory Scovel, Dave Attell, Jim Breuer, Tom Segura, Kyle Kinnane, Tom Green, Harland Williams, Shane Mauss, Doug Benson, Emo Phillips, and the late, great Gilbert Gottfried.

Kabir “Kabeezy“ Singh is fresh off his standing ovation and four “yeses” on NBC’s “America’s Got Talent” in June of 2021, but he has been a touring headliner for almost a decade now. Kabir has been featured on “Amazon Prime“, “The Family Guy“, “Laughs on Fox”, and Gabriel Iglesias’ “Stand Up Revolution” on Comedy Central. His Dry Bar Comedy special, “Stay Single“, has been one of the best reviewed specials on their YouTube channel. He was the winner of the San Francisco International Comedy Competition, Big Sky Comedy Festival, and a finalist in the nationwide NBC “Stand Up for Diversity“ showcase.
Kabir has also headlined a night at every major Comedy Club in California and has headlined comedy clubs all of The U.S, U.K, and Canada. It's safe to say Kabir is not an act to miss and according to many members of the Industry will be a household name in due time.
And featuring opening comedian Alex JustAlex
Alex Just is a stand-up comedian who has performed in all 50 states and internationally including Germany, Japan, Singapore, Hong Kong, and India.

I'm Matt Collins. I don't know or like any of these other "comics."
Matthew Burgoon's list of achievements wouldn't fill a tombstone. After being named Anchorage's funniest comic one year in a row, he went out and purchased a leaking boat using what he thought would be the money from all of his future TV deals. After those deals didn't go through his girlfriend divorced him and now Matthew is living on his boat which also doubles as a metaphor for his career.
Ah. Well... I attended Juilliard... I'm a graduate of the Harvard business school. I travel quite extensively. I lived through the Black Plague and had a pretty good time during that. I've seen the EXORCIST ABOUT A HUNDRED AND SIXTY-SEVEN TIMES, AND IT KEEPS GETTING FUNNIER EVERY SINGLE TIME I SEE IT... NOT TO MENTION THE FACT THAT YOU'RE TALKING TO A DEAD GUY... NOW WHAT DO YOU THINK? You think I'm qualified?
Collector of wooden nickels, has pioneered the art of the laughless punchline... I enjoy long fucks on the beach with YOUR dog. My milkshake doesn't do anything and probably never will. My current salary is negotiable for any position (and I know lots of positions).. medical benefits are not necessary as I don't plan on living that long.
Sober for the last ten minutes.
