About the Lineup:

Kalea McNeill is an actor/standup comedian from the bay area. She gained a love for performance at an early age through various plays, oratorical competitions, and community events. She graduated from Clark Atlanta University with a BA in Theatre Arts and made the move to Los Angeles to pursue her career. She is most known for her recurring character "Hanifa Downey" on season 4 of the CW’s "Crazy Ex Girlfriend", and various television guest spots. In 2022 Kalea was selected for the prestigious Just For Laughs Comedy Festival in Montreal as a "New Face of Comedy".

Her debut (Grammy Considered) comedy special "Sma'am" is now available on Amazon Prime Video, and can also be heard as an album wherever you stream.

Ahmed Al-Kadri is a Yemeni-American comedian based in LA. As a young child in Dallas, Ahmed dreamed of being an accountant, but his immigrant parents forced him to be a comedian instead. Ahmed started developing his comedy skills early, doing impressions of his mom’s Turkish soap operas and Mr. Bean, as well as spot-on imitations of his sister and brothers. Ahmed was one of those kids who was friends with everybody, memorizing one-liners from his dad and trying them out on the kids at school the next day. Between go-kart races and soccer with his five siblings, Ahmed had a classic American childhood, playing “ding-dong ditch” and throwing Taco Bell sauce packets at cars. In 2018, Ahmed moved to LA to pursue a career in standup. Ahmed has gained a large following on TikTok and Instagram, thanks to crowd-favorite sketches like "Roommates with Anxiety," "Arab at an Indian Wedding” and the “Arab Roommate” series, which compliments long-time friend Ryan Kelly’s series, “When You Have A Midwest Roommate.” A viral hit, his "F-Boi Rehab" series was featured on both Buzzfeed and DankMemes. Ahmed has been featured on Comedy Central and you may also recognize Ahmed from his appearance as Liam on the web-series "David Diamondhands" and on Fox's Love Connection (Season 2, Episode 8) It wasn’t a match, but at least he got a good story out of it!

Liz Stone performs throughout the country and is known for her personal stories of life, love, and embarrassing moments. She can be seen on Amazon Prime's Laugh After Dark, and is a regular at Laugh Factory, SF Punch Line, Cobbs Comedy Club, LA Comedy Club, and more. Liz is also Head Writer For Fitz Games, a pop culture satire game company, and wrote Girl Code, available in Targets nationwide, as well as Basic Betch, The Queer Agenda, Boozed, High Standards, and My Toxic Ex, available on Amazon. A former corporate attorney, Liz discovered standup comedy as a balance to the corporate grind and has been entertaining audiences with her unique perspective ever since.
