About the Lineup:

Blake Bartee is a comedian who knows how to bring the funny. Hailing from Long Beach, CA, he spent his childhood performing as a DJ and break dancer. But after serving 7 years in the Air Force as a medic, Blake decided to pursue his true passion– stand-up comedy. Now based in LA, he tours the country, performing at iconic venues like the Improv, Comedy Store, and New York Comedy Club. Blake’s material is inspired by his personal experiences, family, and his unique take on life. Blake has proven time and time again that he has the talent entertain audiences of all ages and backgrounds. Whether it’s relatable anecdotes about everyday life, or sharp observations about current events Blake has a style that’s relatable, fresh, and thought-provoking, Blake’s comedy is a must-see for anyone looking for a good laugh.

When Dr. Laura Hayden is not killing patients–with laughter, she is killing it on stage as a stand-up comedian. Laura’s stand-up career started at the front of the classroom while she earned her Masters in Physical Therapy. Her ability to highlight the humorous side of medicine led her classmates to nominate her to give their graduation commencement speech. To this day the faculty at Mount Saint Mary’s College still talk about that “infamous” commencement speech which Laura credits as her first stand up performance.

Laura has headlined at comedy clubs across the country including the Comedy Store, the Improv, Stand Up New York, Comedy Works and more. She also performed on Royal Caribbean Cruises and for U.S. troops overseas in Djibouti, Oman, the UAE and more. She's been selected for the Edinburgh Fringe Festival in Scotland five times as well as numerous festivals across the U.S.

From Oakland, California currently living in Los Angeles, Josef Anolin has opened for the likes of Tom Segura, Whitney Cummings, and Michael Che. He likes telling irreverent stories based on his life and observations. He recently was featured as part of Amazon Prime's Laugh's After Dark. He has been a finalist in the San Francisco Comedy Competition and performed at clubs across the country including the Improv, Comedy Store, SF Punchline and Laughs Unlimited. Josef has been selected for a number of festivals including SF Sketchfest, Clusterfest, Outside Lands and the North Carolina Comedy Festival. He has an Android phone because he likes pissing you off with his green text bubbles.
