Chad Opitz is a Bay Area-born, Los Angeles-based stand-up comedian, actor, and musician whose one-liners, story jokes, and occasional bursts of song make him one of the most unpredictable and entertaining comics working today. A staple at Punch Line San Francisco, Punch Line Sacramento, Cobb's Comedy Club, Rooster T. Feathers, and the San Jose Improv, he has been a featured performer at SF Sketchfest every year from 2016 through 2024. He won Bay Area legend Jimmy Gunn's Best Newcomer Award, headlined the B4UDie Comedy Festival in Anchorage, and has been invited to perform at the High Plains Comedy Festival in Denver and the Altercation Comedy Festival in Austin. His podcast credits include Doug Loves Movies and The Benson Interruption, and he has featured for Michelle Wolf, Taylor Tomlinson, Melissa Villaseñor, Tom Green, and Rob Schneider. A genuine original, Chad Opitz is a comedian whose writing is every bit as sharp as his performance.

Vanessa Dawn is a comedian from Tulsa, Oklahoma now based in the Pacific Northwest, whose deceptively relaxed style has been winning over audiences at clubs and casinos throughout the region. She has competed in the Seattle International Comedy Competition and performed at the Blue Whale Comedy Festival, Black Girl Giggles Comedy Festival, NW Women's Comedy Festival, and the NW Black Comedy Festival. With a cool, dry delivery that catches you completely off guard, Vanessa Dawn is a comic worth watching.

Alex Farivar is a West Los Angeles-born comedian, actor, and filmmaker of Iranian descent whose creative ambitions span stand-up, film, and everything in between. He began his stand-up career in 2015 and released his debut one-hour special Tell Me I'm Wrong in 2024. As an actor and filmmaker, he has appeared in and produced independent features and short films, including 29 or: The Day a Girl Broke Up with a Boy and When the Man Comes Around. With a filmmaker's eye and a comedian's instincts, Alex Farivar is a multi-hyphenate talent carving out his own lane.

Aryan Azizian is a Los Angeles-based stand-up comedian and podcast host whose multicultural background and razor-sharp storytelling style have made him a rising presence on the comedy circuit. Drawing from diverse life experiences, he brings a fresh and authentic voice to every stage he steps on. He is the creator and host of Sit Down with Stand Ups, a long-running weekly podcast featuring interviews with comedians, magicians, and musicians — with guests ranging from rising comics to seasoned industry veterans. With a growing following and a genuine passion for the craft both on and off stage, Aryan Azizian is a comedian worth knowing.
