More about our comedians:

Hosted by: Amanda Marks

She has featured for comedians Elayne Boosler, Jessica Kirson, and Judy Gold and has been in the Ladies Room Comedy Festival, Red Clay Comedy Festival, and North Carolina Comedy Festival. Amanda's comedy is like your favorite BBQ brisket, both unquestionably Southern and Jewish.

Dr O - By day, Dr. O is a double-boarded physician navigating the controlled chaos of Hospitalist and Emergency Medicine—which is mostly just high-stakes "choose your own adventure" with better insurance. By night, he's a stand-up comedian, which is basically the same thing, except in the ER, people are usually happy when he stops talking.

Emily Holden is an Atlanta-based stand-up comedian, host, and entertainer. Emily has never met a stage she didn’t love or an audience member that didn’t become a friend. She tours nationally with the show, Moms Unhinged. When not touring, you can find her throughout Atlanta, performing at Laughing Skull, Helium Comedy Club, The Punchline, and Alley Stage, and producing her popular monthly comedy show, Banjo Lounge. Emily has performed with Beth Stelling, Lisa Ann Walters, and Derrick Stroup, to name a few! Her comedy focuses on dark, scary topics, such as marriage and motherhood, that will make young audiences want to stop for a vasectomy on the way home.

Jen O'Neill - Named by Paste Magazine as one of the top 8 comics to watch in Atlanta, Jen O'Neill can be seen on stages all over the country. Jen has been featured on television shows including Live From Zanie's, Adult Swim's William Street Swap Shop, Hulu's The Un-Adventures, and Seduced to Slay on HBO Max.
