Hailing from the People’s Republic of Annapolis, Md., Bill Monaghan has been honing his comedic chops since 2006. He may possibly be the most immature mature person you’ll ever encounter. His absurd, one-liner style is “Rated R” due to strong language, adult situations, and brief nudity. You’ll be fine. Don’t be a prude.

Patty Mata is a DC based comic who spent most of her life in small town Canada. When Patty isn’t doing comedy, she is a local social worker who is desperately trying not to get deported. Her style of comedy mostly revolves around “not being from here”, exploring the messiness of being a woman and generally poking fun at the state of the country’s affairs. She welcomes all forms of flattery and accepts maple syrup as a tradable good.

Peter Sullivan is a comedian and writer who got his start 9 years ago at the age of 17 in Washington, D.C. His combination of playful observations and dry delivery has allowed him to perform at venues such as The Laugh Factory in Chicago and Broadway Comedy Club in New York. He has opened for headliners including Kevin Farley, Tony Woods, and many more. Peter has also featured and headlined shows across the country and has written for national touring comics, including Howie Mandel for Just for Laughs in 2018.

Born in Egypt, raised in Alabama, and armed with a sharp wit and even sharper legal mind, Yasmin Elhady has mastered the art of juggling identities without dropping the ball (or her kids). She’s the lawyer who’ll argue you under the table by day and have you ugly-laughing about it by night. Yasmin turned to comedy to roast life’s absurdities with fearless takes on faith, culture, and motherhood. She’s appeared on stages across the US and Europe—including The Kennedy Center—and been featured on NBC, NPR, Netflix Is a Joke Radio, and Hulu’s Muslim Matchmaker.
