The man with the smile of a thousand angels, Derek Gaines, a California born New Jersey resident, raised a new face in the wonderful art of comedy. July 29th 1984 was the day that the Lindenwold's only campaign began. Derek started in the vicious comedy clubs of Philadelphia and than began to move around the tri-state area (Pennsylvania, New Jersey, New York) working and still working on what he would like to call the "Left field crusader show", the style of comedy that speaks to all but touches the very hearts of the Black, "can't-be-a-thug suburbanite only children" of the US. Derek trusts and believes God for this gift he has been given and just wants to bring it back for the people. "Progress and not peril" is his motto and he plans to take that with him through every stage of his career.

Isabel Hagen is a stand-up comedian who has been featured on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon and as a New Face of Comedy at the prestigious Just for Laughs festival in Montréal in 2019. Isabel started stand-up immediately after earning her Bachelors and Masters degrees in viola performance from the Juilliard School.
