Hailing from Princeton N.J., Lou is a first generation Haitian-American. Many things have seasoned his view of the world. This former fat kid, turned English teacher in Japan, has loved comedy and wants to contribute. Being influenced by Robin Harris, and the comedic stylings of Def Jam comedy, Lou has endeavored to leave his mark on the comedy playing field.

"Danny Braff is a NJ based comedian who’s dark observational style has entertained audiences at clubs and bars across the country including The Comedy Store, The Stress Factory Comedy Club, New York Comedy Club, The Comedy Connection, etc. Danny has made 2 appearances on the popular comedy podcast Kill Tony and is one of very few people to have received a standing ovation on the show. He has opened for comics such as Tim Dillon, Mark Normand, Jessica Kirson, Rich Vos, Yannis Pappas, and more. A Comedy reviewer in Florida once described Danny’s act in print as: “exhaustive list of Costco jokes” but Danny prefers to think of it as Costco Jokes in bulk."

Mark Normand is a fun-loving, New York comedian. Ok, I’m gonna brag a little here but hey, you’re on the site so that must mean you’re somewhat interested. I don’t know, I’ve just seen other comics do this. Ah screw you, I’m proud of these credits! Sorry, I got worked up there. (I just wanna be liked) So far, Mark has done a Comedy Central HALF HOUR special, has appeared on TBS’s CONAN 4 times, Late Show with Stephen Colbert, Showtime’s “Live at SXSW”, INSIDE AMY SCHUMER, TruTv, Best Week Ever, MTv, Last Comic Standing, @Midnight and released an album with Comedy Central records titled “Still Got It” (it’s not bad). This year, Mark took first place at the Great American Comedy Festival competition. In 2013 won Caroline’s March Madness competition, beating out 63 other comedians. And this is a real shocker for all of us, but he was also voted Village Voice’s “Best Comedian of 2013”, I know, right? In 2012, Mark appeared on “John Oliver’s New York Standup Show” on Comedy Central, and in 2011 was picked as one of Comedy Central’s “Comics to Watch.” Mark was born and raised in New Orleans, LA surprisingly to two normal parents. As a kid he spent most of his time shooting short films and wetting the bed. He started doing comedy right after college and quickly moved to New York. Mark now does comedy clubs and colleges across the country and has been involved in many festivals including Portland, Seattle, DC, Boston, Vancouver, Melbourne and in 2013 was featured as a New Face at the Montreal Comedy Festival. More annoying accolades that no one really cares about: Mark was named one of Comedy Central’s Comics To Watch for the 2011 New York Comedy Festival. Mark was also named Esquire’s “Best New Comedians 2012”, Splitsider’s “Top 10 Up and Coming Comedians on Each Coast”, and Time Out New York’s “21 New York Comedy Scene Linchpins”. Whew, sorry about all that.
