Eddie Liles

Eddie Liles is a sharp-tongued storyteller with a booming voice and an even bigger personality. Originally from Washington, DC, Eddie has spent over a decade delivering laughs across the country with his blend of quick wit, relatable real-life stories, and no-holds-barred honesty. His comedy style pulls you in like an old friend telling you the wildest truth you’ve ever heard — hilarious, unfiltered, and straight from the heart. Whether he’s breaking down everyday absurdities or sharing personal misadventures, Eddie’s charm and timing keep audiences laughing long after the show ends.

Bill Monaghan

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.
