About the Lineup:

Mike Menendez is a Los Angeles based comedian originally from Miami, Florida who has headlined at clubs and colleges across the country. He has been featured on Tyler The Creator’s Golf Media and Kevin Hart’s LOL network and more. He also appeared on Hulu’s This Fool with Chris Estrada. Mike can be found performing regularly at the big clubs in LA including the Improv, Comedy Store and more!

Maria Bruggere is an LA-based stand-up comedian, writer, podcast host, and brutally honest woman. Originally from Portland, OR, Maria moved to LA for the mansion tax. Her goal? Become a successful comedian before gas gets to $25 a gallon - not a lot of time left. Maria’s comedic style can be best described as a “take no prisoners approach”. Her act will hit you from every angle - self deprecating, crowd work, observational, personal anecdotes, and the occasional political jab. In 2024, Maria taped for Netflix Is A Joke’s “Are You Still Listening” on Sirius XM (channel 93). She’s no stranger to hard work. In addition to stand-up, Maria has also done on-camera work for Regal Movies Social Media as a content creator and host where she’s interviewed everyone from Jack Black to Ryan Gosling. See more of her on-camera work here. Maria hosted the Room For Rent Podcast, where she interviewed friends, family, celebrities, and beyond about their crazy roommate experiences — people seem to like to live with murderers. In 2021, she went viral on TikTok for putting a tape measure between her legs. Known to some as #tapemeasuregirl, Maria has amassed over 37 million views and has nearly 30k followers across TikTok, YouTube, Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook and growing.

Tyler Strauss is a suicide hotline worker and comedian who has been on Netflix is a Joke, SLO Comedy Festival, New York Comedy Fest, performed at a number of high profile clubs such as The Comedy Store and The Laugh Factory, and opened for Jim Gaffigan. In 2022, he got 3rd place on an episode of Wheel of Fortune, directly after which Pat Sajak announced his retirement. In addition to standup, Tyler has received millions of views for his daily news jokes on Instagram, TikTok and Youtube.
