Esther Povitsky is an American actor, comedian, host, screenwriter, and producer. Also known as "Little Esther," the multifaceted personality has built her career in the comedy genre. Having performed at several reputed comedy clubs, Esther began her career with podcasts and eventually ventured into mainstream TV. Having appeared in several sitcoms, talk shows, and sketch-comedy shows, Esther rose to fame with the comedy series 'Alone Together.' Co-created with her best friend Benji Aflalo, the show featured both of them as its protagonists. The show was inspired by their real-life experiences and ran for two seasons. Esther has also worked in a film and a few TV movies. Her most recent appearance has been as ‘Maya’ in the romantic comedy series 'Crazy Ex-Girlfriend.'
Originally hailing from San Francisco, CA, Caitlin Peluffo is a comedian based in NYC. After a brief six year stint in art school studying performative video art (no, really…that’s a thing) Caitlin expanded her talents to the stage. She’s opened for comedians, Maria Bamford, Fortune Feimster, Matteo Lane, and Brian Regan. She’s been featured everywhere from the world famous Comedy Cellar in the Big Apple to clubs nationwide talking about how she came to be such a lovable loose cannon. Caitlin has been featured on the Late Show with Stephen Colbert, The Late Late Show with James Corden, 2022’s Just For Laughs Festival and has hosted her weekly podcast, Good Time Gal with Caitlin Peluffo for over two years. With Caitlin, no subject is off limits, however, she did make a promise to her mother that she would never, ever discuss that one time she took those ‘whorish, yet tastefully executed’ photos for a guy she used to bang in the military. She may be a patriot, but a promise is a promise.

Most DJs spend their entire life in the shadows. No matter how well they control the crowd or dazzle on the decks, they remain anonymous lost in the darkness. Yet Cipha Sounds is not most DJs. Whether hosting HOT 97 Morning Show for over 7 years, DJing and doing stand-up around the world, or producing & hosting his own comedy shows Cipha radiates personality, driving every project. “Double Stuf Comedy” at The Stand or his improv show “Take It Personal” at UCB theatre are just a few of the current shows taking over the city. Just as comfortable on stage as he is behind the turntables, Cipha has carved out a distinct voice in music and comedy over the past 15 years. Cipha got his first break interning for Funkmaster Flex and earned opening slots at legendary NYC nightspots like the Tunnel and the Palladium. Soon after that, Cipha found himself spinning for Lil Kim, Mos Def and Jay-Z on national tours, and rocking private parties & album release galas for superstars like P. Diddy, Eminem and Mariah Carey. Most importantly, Cipha learned how to break new records, helping turn once-unknowns like Sean Paul, 50 Cent, Pitbull, Rick Ross, Rihanna into superstars, and maintain a healthy sense of humor on the mic. Cipha’s ear for talent made him a natural A&R executive, a position he has held with labels ranging from Rawkus, Tommy Boy , Neptunes’ Star Trak imprint with Pharrell Williams, and Roc-A-Fella with Jay-Z. In 2003, he took an even bigger leap into the music industry and began hosting “Sucker Free” and “TRL” on MTV. In the past few months Cipha has become the first comedian to sign to ROCNATION management and has teamed up with Alicia Keys to develop a Television Series.

Jen Gittess is a comedian, writer and actress originally from Fort Lauderdale, where she often returns to visit her family whenever she needs inspiration for new material. She started standup comedy during college at UCLA before moving to NYC to pursue it full time, and is currently touring at comedy clubs throughout the country.
