Jason A. Jamerson is a Detroit Native, comedian, actor, writer, host, and producer. As part of his early efforts, Jamerson embarked on his love for entertainment to pursue a career as a comedian. Finding the courage to perform on multiple stages across the Metro Detroit area, Jason found his voice, respect for the craft and humility amongst his mentors. To date he has shared stages with the likes of Michael Rappaport, Chris Redd, Tony Baker, Mark Curry, Carl Payne, Brandon T. Jackson, Tony Roberts and many more.

 

While learning the tricks of the trade, He was offered an opportunity to produce his very own show in 2016 entitled, “This Should Be A Comedy Special” which has been an annual staple for the metro Detroit comedy scene ever since. Jason now travels the country hitting stages and cracking up audience’s with his unique, entertaining brand of comedy.

Zach Martina likes hot food and the cooling sensation that a peppermint candy brings whilst taking a deep breath. Yes, he is a stand-up comedian but, if you’re reading this, you assumed that. Did you know that he is also a father, a husband, a 6 time cannon ball champion, AND a notary public? This is a guy with depth, a guy with layers.

 

His irritations with the inane instances of life & love have left him ranting and raving on stages across the world for over a decade. In that time, Zach has been featured at stand up festivals such as 10,000 Laughs, Limestone and Gilda’s Laughfest where he was named one of the “Best of the Midwest”. He, regularly, shares the stage with some of his favorite comedians including Rory Scovel, Chad Daniels, the Sklar Brother and Big Jay Oakerson (among others) and he has released two comedy albums (Skunkman & Not the Worst Dad) that debuted at number one on the comedy charts and are, regularly, spun on SiriusXM.

 

If the problem is “(Dark Jokes + Delightful Delivery) x Big Energy” then Zach Martina is the ANSWER. Come see for yourself! xoxo

Ziggy Klett was born in the deep north. The youngest of six children, he is four generations deep into an evil brew of Catholic rage and Jewish guilt. Often ridiculed as a youth for sporting bizarre hairstyles and colorful Norwegian sweaters, he quickly developed a twisted sense of humor. As a prolific bed wetter, his imaginary childhood friend, Mr. Peanut, guided him skillfully through a peculiar childhood of dumpster fires and petty theft.

A shaving scandal involving the girl’s archery team marred junior high for Ziggy; high school lowlights include being named valedictorian of his summer school class, being selected most likely to be water boarded, an unfortunate period of incarceration for his involvement in a pyramid-marketing scheme of homemade Tasers. Luckily, all charges were later dropped and he did, eventually, graduate.

 

College was a continuous blur of raucous parties and sophomoric stunts. Then classes started. After graduating (sort of) cum laude, Ziggy spent a brief period of time teaching Driver’s Ed at The Sorbonne in Paris and English as a Second Language in Detroit.

Comedy came quite naturally to Ziggy because, frankly, there was nothing else left to do. His comedic style can only be described as a bizarre cross between Sam Kinison, Robin Williams and Yves Montaigne. He is fast and furious, deep and shallow, high and low, but, mostly, he is simply pure, unadulterated Ziggy.

Steve’s stand up comedy style is sharp-tongued, often dark, and frequently self-deprecating. He draws on his experiences growing up as a child of baby boomers in the 70s and living in Detroit, Chicago, Boston, and L.A. He looks for the humor in life’s frustrations and traumas. Steve’s ideal joke is one that makes you laugh . . . and then feel ashamed for laughing. He performs regularly at venues throughout Michigan and elsewhere in the Midwest and has opened for Tom Papa and Kyle Kinane. He is a founding member of the “Lighten Up Comedy Show.”

Weighing in at 265lbs this comedian comes to you from the small town of Marine City Michigan which is known for its gas station pizza and 9 antique stores .

 

As a kid Wesley Ward had nothing but time to think and when you come watch him do stand-up comedy live you might realize he’s been thinking too much

 

His debut album “White Forest Whitaker” grew a cult following on indie comedy scene. It debuted at number 1 on iTunes and has amassed over 300,000 streams on various streaming platforms
