    About the Artist:
    Justin Whitehead is a professional comedian and entertainer. A native of South Georgia, Whitehead was born and raised in Desoto, a rural, tight-knit community with a population barely over 700 people. He was raised by both parents, alongside 4 siblings and has always bared witness to hard work and ambition. Growing up, he didn’t intend to go into comedy, but his peers always recognized his natural sense of humor and vibrant energy he brought to every room. After non-stop encouragement from his peers and community, Justin performed at countless local shows and was met with rave reviews.
    With intentions to advance his career, he relocated to Atlanta in 2012. His knack for improv and storytelling has made him a popular name on the circuit, garnering bookings at premier venues such as Uptown Comedy Club, The Funny Bone, and Stardome. Through his hysterical stand-up shows, and viral moments on social media, he’s built a loyal fanbase of more than 300k followers and become a favorite amongst celebrities including Diddy, Rickey Smiley, and many more. In February 2021, he launched the “Go Live” tour, selling out venues in more than 18 cities nationwide. Citing Redd Foxx, Steve Harvey, Bernie Mac, and Jamie Foxx as inspiration, Whitehead is destined for stardom, wielding his undeniable stage presence to lead the next generation of superstar comedians.

    About the Artist:
    Author, columnist, and comedian Steve Hofstetter is often called the hardest working man in show-business. With all due respect to the late James Brown.
    Hofstetter's national TV debut came on ESPN's Quite Frankly, where Stephen A. Smith yelled at him for three minutes. Hofstetter has appeared on CBS' "Late Late Show With Craig Ferguson", Showtime's "White Boyz in the Hood", VH1's "Countdown", Sundance's "On the Road in America", and ABC's "Barbara Walter's Special", where he thankfully didn't cry. He is the host and executive producer of "Laughs" on Fox networks, where he only cries occasionally.
    One of the top booked acts on the college circuit, the original writer for collegehumor.com has also released six albums. Hofstetter has written humor columns for the New York Times, SportsIllustrated.com, and NHL.com, where he publicly admitted to being a Ranger fan.
    After hosting Four Quotas on Sirius Satellite Radio for two seasons, Hofstetter moved to broadcast radio, and his Sports Minute (Or So) was syndicated on over 170 stations and in over 30 newspapers. Hofstetter's second live comedy album ("Cure For the Cable Guy") reached #20 on Billboard's comedy charts. His third album ("Dark Side of the Room") was the first ever pay-what-you-want" comedy album, since people were going to steal it anyway. His fourth album consisted of an hour of 100% ad-libbed material, which is, frankly, nuts. His fifth album hit #1 on iTunes' comedy charts, which is also a bit nuts.
    Hofstetter's brutal tour schedule consists of over 100 colleges and dozens of clubs every year, and is fueled by an immense online popularity, tons of press, and a Prius with great gas mileage. He reached 200,000 friends on Facebook (still the world record), 400,000 more on MySpace, and high shelves in grocery stores.
    While Hofstetter's live shows are routinely sold out, he is best known for his writing, first published at age 15, mainly to impress girls. At 18, he co-founded "Sports Jerk of the Week", an irreverent website featured by press like USA Today's Baseball Weekly, Sports Illustrated and CNN. And at 20, Hofstetter took a year off of school to head up web content for the New York Yankees. The Yankees won the World Series that year, which would have been wonderful if they hadn't beaten Hofstetter's Mets. Yes, he's also a Mets fan. Poor kid.
    While an undergraduate at Columbia University, Hofstetter was a well-read columnist for the Columbia Daily Spectator and a voice of the Lions. After a summer writing for Maxim, ESPN, and Sports Illustrated for Kids, Hofstetter syndicated his column in several newspapers.
    Without his glasses, Hofstetter also looks a great deal like Michael Rappaport.

    Orlando Jones is a renaissance man. His recent performances includes: starring opposite Laurence Fishburne as the anti-apartheid revolutionary Oliver Tambo in Madiba; being tapped by Ethan Hawke for the Showtime series The Good Lord Bird based on James McBride's best selling novel. From the Duplass Brothers dark comedy Room 104, to playing the Elgin Baylor on the highly anticipated new Los Angeles Laker series on HBO.

Jones acting, marketing, social media content and transformative media work on Fox’s supernatural series earned him and his company many accolades including the first Virtual Reality Emmy ever given by the Television Academy in 2015.
    Dubbed the King of Fandom by MTV. Jones is the subject of dozens academic papers, with speaking engagements at USC’s Annenberg School of Communication, UCLA, Oxford, Princeton, MIT & the Fan Studies Network symposium with the father of fan studies Henry Jenkins. Jones even wrote the preface to the academic book Seeing Fans and helped SyFy celebrate their 25th anniversary by legally marrying fans at the San Diego Comic Con (yes, Jones is ordained) Orlando filmed his a sold-out Comedy Central special in South Africa; and hosted and produced content for the digital broadcast of the 88th Academy Awards. Jones remains an influential force within the fandom and entertainment universe.

    About the Artist:

    Ben Brainard is a comedian with a natural ability to make any crowd laugh. Originally from Daytona Beach, and now living in Los Angeles, Ben has toured across the country. He’s also produced several shows for Army Reserve units. During quarantine, Ben found viral success producing “The Table,” a sketch comedy series about how the various states of the US are handling current events.
    Since a very young age, Ben has been “the funny kid,” or at least, “the kid that will cheer you up,” but, oddly enough, standup comedy was never really a part of his plan. Before his junior year of high school, Ben won an “Engineering Scholars Program” scholarship and literally did rocket science for a summer. As a senior in high school, Ben played 3 sports, took AP and honors classes and won student body President as the presidencies for the FCA and The Academy of Drafting and Design. For a year and a half after high school, he majored in mechanical engineering and double minored in physics and CAD/CAM at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University in Daytona Beach. Then, one day, he got bored of calculus, dropped out of school, joined the US Army Reserve, moved to Orlando and started doing standup comedy. Ben has always said “yes” to opportunities, and his “I’ll try anything once” attitude has ultimately lead to some hilarious stories and an irrationally high 26 different jobs since he turned 16. Ben has done everything from work a drive-thru at Chick-fil-A to drive a bus for the YMCA after school program, and now he takes the stage to tell all about everything he’s done and seen and make you laugh along the way.
    Standing at only 5’5 and weighing in at 125lbs, Ben is not an intimidating presence, but don’t let his size fool you! He packs some serious punchlines! From jokes about his stature to hilarious stories about dating, jobs, general life mishaps and even his crazy family, Ben is sure to have you laughing until your sides hurt!

    About the Artist:
    Leah Rudick is an actor, writer & comedian whose viral comedy videos on TikTok and Instagram have amassed over a million followers and counting. Best known for her “Wealthy Woman” character, an oblivious but lovable billionaire who delights in middle class adventures, Leah has cultivated a loyal fanbase with her videos topping over 100 million views. Springboarding off of this success, Leah has spent the past year on the road, headlining and selling out the best clubs in the nation, meeting devoted fans from all walks of life, captivating audiences with her unique brand of weird girl comedy. Recent comedy festivals include Moontower JFL, San Francisco Sketchfest & Laughing Skull Fest. TV appearances include HBO’s High Maintenance, IFC’s Commuters & Fast Company with James Corden. In 2024 she taped her first hour comedy special, Spiraling, available to stream on Amazon and Apple TV.
    “Going on flights of anxiety fueled imagination, Rudick starts from a relative point of relatable normalcy, but simmers her way to as ridiculous a conclusion to a bit as she can conjure…The journey in this hour, richly colored by her unconscious, is akin to tasting your new favorite sweet treats in that you might be unsure what’s happening at first, but get obsessed with the longer you savor it.” - The Comedy Bureau on Spiraling
    “Stop reading and go follow Leah Rudick and then come right back.” - Vulture Magazine
    "In a world of income disparity, class divides and rampaging Karens, how the heck did comedian Leah Rudick’s TikTok sensation Wealthy Woman become so darn beloved." - Cracked

    About the Artist:
    With his place cemented as one of the true legends of comedy, comedian Bruce Bruce continues his career as one of the best in his craft. With a recognizable name and an impressive reputation, Bruce’s steady style of comedy has been showcased across the country – on stage, on TV, in film and on the written page. His wit, ability to improv, and infectious personality set him apart from other standup comedians. Although known for his adult comedy, Bruce prides himself on not using vulgarity to win a laugh. He is no stranger to winning over new audiences - young, old, from all backgrounds - with every appearance he makes.
    Bruce is one of the nation’s favorite standup comedians and can currently be seen on three national comedy tours, "LIT AF Tour" with Martin Lawrence, "The Real Mike Epps Tour,” and the “Royal Comedy Tour” with Sommore. When not on tour, Bruce can be found performing at premiere comedy clubs across the United States. He is also featured on the Netflix original comedy series “Family Reunion” as "Brother Davis", a hilarious foil for Loretta Devine's character.
    In addition to standup comedy, film and tv, Bruce Bruce can also add author to his list of credits. Penguin Publishing released Bruce’s first memoir Baby James Brown, which regales its readers with hilarious stories from his childhood and experiences that shaped Bruce Bruce into the comedian he is today.
    Bruce’s comedy can be traced back to when he was working as a chef directly out of high school, entertaining his customers with his humor while cooking up mean BBQ dishes. He then worked as a Frito-Lay salesman and managed to get hired to do standup comedy sets for their corporate meetings. Eventually, Bruce brought his comedy routine to the Comedy Act Theater in Atlanta, where he instantly became an audience favorite.
    His career skyrocketed from there. In 1993, Bruce made his first appearance on HBO’s “Def Comedy Jam”; followed quickly by an impressive appearance on the “Showtime at the Apollo.” BET executives noticed and signed him on as host for two seasons of “Comic View”, and then as host of the popular comedian competition show on BET “Coming to the Stage.”
    Bruce’s bigger than life personality has transcended onto the music scene as well. He has made guest appearances in music videos with Ludacris and the Ying Yang Twins (after being named in their hit song “Salt Shaker”), Quad City DJ’s “Come On Ride the Train (Ride It)”and Outkast’s “So Fresh, So Clean.” Most recently, Bruce appeared in the KEM music video, “You’re On My Mind.”
    With great skill, Bruce easily weaves real life situations into comedic stories. He is a frequent guest on national radio shows and podcasts, including Kevin Hart’s “Comedy Gold Minds”, Marc Maron’s “WTF,” “85 South Show,” with DC Young Fly, and Netflix’s “Strong Black Lead.”

    About the Artist:
    To those in the know Arnez J. one of the hottest, most talked about comedic artists in the game. His raw energy, talent and comedic skill quickly landed Arnez the coveted hosting slot on BET’s longest-running comedy series “Comic View” for two seasons joining the ranks of hosts such as D.L. Hughley and Cedric the Entertainer. His hilarious new comedy special “Racially Motivated” is now available on Netflix. Arnez J.'s charisma and physical agility are unforgettable. “J is a whirling dervish on stage--he runs, jumps, spins, slides, slips, and mugs through a performance, acting out many of his bits while describing them,” wrote Doug Kaufman in the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. Arnez admits of himself “I've always expressed my things through mannerisms and facial expressions rather than speaking.” On his own at age 14, Arnez lied about his age to get a job at a gas station to work his way through school. With dreams to become a professional baseball player, Arnez began working as a flight attendant when those baseball plans fell through. It was while working as a flight attendant that Arnez discovered his comedic talent. He realized that he had the ability to keep the passengers and crew laughing and, upon encouragement from friends, he made his first attempt at stand-up comedy. After that first night on stage, he knew what he wanted to do. He left his job with the airlines and made the decision to devote all of his time to a career in comedy. Arnez got a chance to combine his ambitions as both an athlete and performer when he was recruited by scouts for the famed Harlem Globetrotters basketball team who saw his very physical comedy routine at a local basketball game. However, after several months, a knee injury ended his Globetrotters career, finally clearing the way for him to devote himself full time to standup comedy. An Atlanta native, Arnez began working the comedy circuit in Georgia and quickly became one of “Hotlanta's” funniest newcomers. A finalist in the “Bay Area Black Comedy Competition,” he was immediately noticed by the entertainment industry and was asked to make his first television appearance on Showtime's “Comedy Club Network.” Numerous television appearances soon followed including appearances on “The Keenan Ivory Wayans Show,” “Louie Anderson's Comedy Showcase,” Comedy Central's “Make Me Laugh,” NBC's “Friday Night Videos,” “The Mo’Nique Show”, Russell Simmons' “Def Comedy Jam,” his own BET “Comic View Grandstand Hour Special,” and “Comedy Central Presents: Arnez J.” He was most recently seen headlining Showtime’s “Shaquille O'Neal Presents: All Star Comedy Jam.” Today, Arnez is widely considered one of the best working artists, with a polished and highly entertaining standup routine that keeps his audiences entertained. In keeping with his plan, Arnez keeps up a dizzying pace performing for sold out crowds at arenas and other venues across the country.

He realized that he had the ability to keep the passengers and crew laughing and, upon encouragement from friends, he made his first attempt at stand-up comedy. After that first night on stage, he knew what he wanted to do. He left his job with the airlines and made the decision to devote all of his time to a career in comedy. Arnez got a chance to combine his ambitions as both an athlete and performer when he was recruited by scouts for the famed Harlem Globetrotters basketball team who saw his very physical comedy routine at a local basketball game. However, after several months, a knee injury ended his Globetrotters career, finally clearing the way for him to devote himself full time to standup comedy. An Atlanta native, Arnez began working the comedy circuit in Georgia and quickly became one of “Hotlanta's” funniest newcomers. A finalist in the “Bay Area Black Comedy Competition,” he was immediately noticed by the entertainment industry and was asked to make his first television appearance on Showtime's “Comedy Club Network.” Numerous television appearances soon followed including appearances on “The Keenan Ivory Wayans Show,” “Louie Anderson's Comedy Showcase,” Comedy Central's “Make Me Laugh,” NBC's “Friday Night Videos,” “The Mo’Nique Show”, Russell Simmons' “Def Comedy Jam,” his own BET “Comic View Grandstand Hour Special,” and “Comedy Central Presents: Arnez J.” He was most recently seen headlining Showtime’s “Shaquille O'Neal Presents: All Star Comedy Jam.” Today, Arnez is widely considered one of the best working artists, with a polished and highly entertaining standup routine that keeps his audiences entertained. In keeping with his plan, Arnez keeps up a dizzying pace performing for sold out crowds at arenas and other venues across the country.
