About the Comedians

Joe Matarese has been on The Howard Stern Show, WTF with Marc Maron, The Late Show with David Letterman, Comedy Central Presents Joe Matarese (1/2 Hour Special), The Late Late Show with Craig Kilborn and Craig Ferguson, Last Comic Standing, Chelsea Lately, and The Better Half where he and his wife took home the winning prize. Matarese was also featured on America’s Got Talent, where he received a standing ovation from all four celebrity judges. Matarese has three comedy specialsMedicated and The Poster's Wrong, and the recently released, Mullets and Mixtapes.

Lopes is the House Comic at the Stress Factory Comedy Club in Bridgeport, CT and the Cohost of the You Should Be Worried podcast. His credits include Don’t Tell Comedy, West Side Comedy Club, and New York Comedy Club. When Lopes is not onstage he’s making sketches and content on social media.

Comedian Jackie Fabulous captured America’s heart as a semi-finalist on the 2019 and 2022 season of America’s Got Talent and America’s Got Talent Allstars. She’s got charms that can make even Simon Cowell blush, as she was the only contestant Simon walked on stage to hug! Jackie Fabulous is a hilarious and affable stand-up comedian, writer, actor, producer, motivational speaker, and headliner who uses her jokes and sparkling nature to simultaneously entertain, encourage, and empower audiences while keeping them laughing, and easily navigating the comedy gamut from family friendly to naughty.

He has appeared on Last Comic Standing, the Jim & Sam show, the Bennington show, Comedy Central, Montreal Just For Laughs Festival, TED Talk, CT's 99.1 WPLR's Chaz and AJ In the Morning, Preston and Steve Show, John DeBella Show, NJ 101.5 with Bill Spadea, and on the best stages in NYC and Los Angeles.
