Headliner
A Las Vegas native, Baron Vaughn is a regular on the NYC comedy scene and performs at colleges all over the country. He can be seen in numerous commercials and as a comedic commentator on VH1. He was a featured comedian in the 2006 HBO Comedy Festival in Aspen, CO. He is a member of the theatre troupe The Civilians and recently appeared in Manhattan Theatre Club’s Drowning Crow on Broadway.
Performers
Kristeen von Hagen has been hailed as one of the Top 30 Power Women in Canada by Elle Magazine. You may have seen her on Comedy Central’s Premium Blend. She’s also appeared in two of Montreal’s Just For Laughs Festival TV galas. Kristeen wrote on the 2008 Juno Awards and has won three Canadian Comedy Awards including Best Female Stand-Up.
Ross Hyzer produces and hosts County Fair, a monthly comedy showcase at Arlene’s Grocery in the Lower East Side and is a regular columnist for Huffington Post. During his years at Brown University he was editor of the college’s humor magazine, The Brown Jug, and was named one of the “Top Five College Comics” in a nationwide competition. He was chosen to participate in the HBO Comedy Festival in Aspen. He lives in Brooklyn where he enjoys bicycling and hitting golf balls into the Hudson.
Gilad Foss is an original, off-beat talent with a healthy flair for the absurd and a desperate need for the approval of large groups of strangers. He has performed at The Gotham Comedy Club, Stand-Up New York, Rififi, Union Hall, and countless bars and bowling alleys around the city. And he recently opened for Jewel – yes, the singer – at the famed Rainbow Room. He lives in Brooklyn with a small collection of rubber ducks.
