PJ Baio
FLAPPERS COMEDY CLUB, THE ICE HOUSE, THE SECOND CITY CHICAGO, NO FUSS COMEDY BUS, BURBANK COMEDY FESTIVAL
PJ Baio is a stand up comedian who isn’t afraid to expose you to his slightly dark sense of humor. A kind of â€"Cynical Superman” he is able to see the light and humor in such dark situations as his mother’s dementia and his wife’s death from cancer, and is somehow able to turn them into hilarious and inspiring stories. Originally from Chicago, this mild mannered comedian creates tasteful humor in dark topics that you don’t often hear from today’s stand up comedians. PJ is also a huge horror movie nerd, and can be seen in the documentary, In Search of All American Massacre: The Lost Texas Chainsaw Film. @PJBaio

Jose Barrientos stands out in the world of comedy with a background as diverse as his humor. A hacker, ex-soldier, magician, and born prankster, he weaves a tapestry of laughs from an array of seemingly dangerous skills. Instead of exploiting his eclectic expertise for anything sinister, Jose chooses to light up rooms with laughter, cleverly intertwining tales of digital escapades, military life, magical mysteries, and playful pranks. His unique act not only tickles the funny bone but also showcases the power of humor to transform and transcend.

Comedian Saavan Patel
JUST FOR LAUGHS - 2021, UCCC 2019 - 2ND PLACE,
Saavan Patel is a first generation Indian American that lived in a motel in the heart of South Central Los Angeles. After disappointing his parents by failing to fulfill his stereotypical destiny and become a doctor, he decided to double down and started comedy at the ripe age of 23. Growing up in a traditional Indian household, his sense of humor was always under appreciated. His stand up talks about what it was like trying to fit in at a predominantly black high school, having strict parents which allowed him to master the art of lying, and the struggle of being an Indian while feeling like an American. These circumstances forced him to see both sides of every situation and comedy was a natural fit.
