Cipha Sounds is a multi-talented performer with roots as a DJ in New York City’s rich hip-hop culture, and as a mainstay of NYC’s comedy scene. With a knack for observational comedy, a background in improv, and an arsenal of music industry anecdotes, Cipha’s sets are always unique – drawing on the energy of the room and the audience.

When he’s not on the road with comedians like Dave Chappelle, Michelle Wolf, Mo Amer, and Michael Che, you can find him performing at Manhattan’s legendary Comedy Cellar, headlining major clubs around the country, and starring and featuring on TV shows like Tru TV’s “Laff Mobb’s Laff Tracks”, Fuse’s “What’s Ur Thing?” and HBO Max’s “That Damn Michael Che”. Cipha also spent many years as a host on Hot 97’s morning show, he was the original DJ for Chappelle’s Show, and was a touring DJ for artists such as Lil Kim, Mos Def, and Rihanna.

With a Twitter and Instagram fan following in the hundreds of thousands, Cipha is making talk pop as the co-host of the podcasts Talk Clearlier (with fellow comedian Wil Sylvince) and Juan Ep Is Life (with Hot 97’s and ESPN’s Peter Rosenberg). Stay tuned for his debut half-hour special!



James Camacho is a Chinese and Puerto Rican actor and comedian. His likeability, easygoing style, and boyish charm make him one of the most fun and polished young entertainers performing today. Based in New York City, and a member of SAG-AFTRA, James' film and television appearances include the movie, "Before I Go" with Annabella Sciorra, the TV shows "FBI" and "Kevin Can Wait" on CBS, and Kevin Hart's "Road Comics" on the LOL Network. He is also a content creator with a following of over 180K fans and 40 million views across all social platforms. He is rapidly gaining a name for himself on comedy stages all over the country and is definitely a comic to watch!!



Julio Diaz is a Dominican-American stand-up comic born and raised in BROOKLYN, New York. His style of comedy is raw, witty, and deadass - all the while filled with a big dose of charisma. Beginning his career gracing East Coast stages, he’s risen to even greater heights on the NYC comedy scene where he is constantly booked and busy. Julio made his international comedy debut at the 2022 Netflix Is A Joke Comedy Festival in Los Angeles where he was 1 of 8 comedians selected for Introducing…Netflix’ platform to highlight the future stars of stand-up comedy! When he’s not on stage, he’s writing & producing hilarious sketches, and has a growing podcast audience (TJSquared). Julio is definitely leveling up the comedy scene!

You’ve seen him at The Stand, Stand Up NY, Gotham Comedy Club, Broadway Comedy Club, New York Comedy Club, The Stress Factory, and The Laugh Factory, just to name a few - and now he will be bringing his brand of hysterical observational comedy to clubs and theaters all across the US and internationally!
