Hormoz Rashidi was born in Iran & grew up in California. He wasted his time obtaining a B.A. in Poli Sci at UC Berkeley and after spending a couple years in Washington DC he quit his job and moved to New York to be a stand up comic. They say if you can make it in New York you can make it anywhere. Well after a couple of years Hormoz moved to Los Angeles where he now performs stand-up in front of dozens of people, writes funny stuff and makes his family very proud. Hormoz is now a paid regular at the world famous comedy store, has been selected for Netflix's "Netflix is a Joke Festival" and has recorded his first special released as part of LMAOF.

Originating from Oxnard, CA Xander Beltran loves burritos, days at the beach, and just kinda hanging out. Making friends wherever he goes, Xander spends time in all sorts of scenes and hangouts and is able to portray these worlds vividly through insightful storytelling and observational comedy. His laid-back delivery, character creation, impressions and animated act-outs make for incredible comedy.

He currently operates out of San Francisco and performs all over the country. He’s opened for D.L. Hughley, Eric Schwartz, Morgan Jay, Mary Lynn Raskub, Erica Rhodes, Deon Cole, Jamie Kennedy, Erik Griffin, Zoltan Kaszas and Kel Mitchell. Xander won the 2018 Cobb’s Comedy Competition, was a Finalist at the 2019 House of Comedy’s Funniest Person contest and was recently a semi-finalist in the prestigious SF International Comedy Competition. He’s been a featured performer at Big Pine Comedy Festival, Savage Henry Festival and Oakland Comedy Festival.

Xander has been seen on PBS, Hulu, Like it or not Late Night on Fox and his debut special with Tiny Pony on YouTube has amassed 44k+ views. He’s had multiple clips go viral and is quickly becoming one of the West Coast’s top rising comedians. Come for his beautiful hair and stay to see how long into his set he starts sweating.

Originally from Los Angeles, Jackie Linn started her entertainment career in 2012. She’s been shaking up the Chicago comedy scene for the past 3 years, honing her craft in the comedy capital of the world. From her first performance at the original Comedy Store (LA) to the Comedy Store in London, Jackie has become a regular in the Chicago comedy scene gracing all the major stages: Laugh Factory: Chicago, Comedy Bar, Chicago Improv, Zanies Old Town and Lincoln Lodge.

Hitting the ground running in Chicago 3 years ago, she founded a weekly show (Big Break Comedy) where Jackie produced an international headlining show for the rising comedic talent, Kristen Toomey, in London! Performing in London 3 times since 2023 proves that Jackie is a universally, relatable comedian that is ready to take her charm and wit to broader audiences. As of December 2024, Jackie Linn has added Tokyo as the 2nd international city she’s performed at (Tokyo Comedy Bar at Shibuya Crossing).

Since the move to Chicago, Jackie Linn has featured for Rex Navarette, Keith Pedro, Vikram Balaji, Julie Kim and Kristen Toomey. Jackie is more notably known for her comedic acting role as Blair McGunty on the Streamy Award Winning show, Mr. Student Body President (which aired on Verizon’s Go90 and Amazon Prime).
