Keith Correy: Known for being a kid with a shy attitude from Washington DC, Keith Correy started Stand Up comedy at the age of 16, merely to prove something of himself. While lying to his single mother about working a normal job every night, his quiet but weird demeanor gave him the opportunity to observe his surroundings and present them on stage every night. Keith Correy's sense of humor is a deep abrupt weird aspect of his life, surroundings and even issues of today. His truth in every joke brings light and appeal to smiling faces to stages and venues around the country.
Brittany Carney: Brittany is a standup comic based in DC. She appears regularly at the DC Improv Comedy Club, Drafthouse Comedy Theater, and with Underground Comedy DC. In 2018 she returned to the Kennedy Center District of Comedy Festival.

He has made several television appearances, including a starring role on RLTV's "Second Act" and was seen in a print ad for GEICO."
Shelley Kim: Hailing from suburban Southern California, Shelley Kim is a DC-based stand-up comedian, satirist, producer, designer and huge dork. Shelley’s fostered her love for stand-up comedy in college while remaining ignorant of any party scene. She can be seen performing and hosting all around the DMV area, sharing her insight as a savvy-yet-clueless minority female in the 21st century. Most recently, she co-produced the Underground Comedy Fest 2018, a DC festival with over 60 comedians and national headliners in conjunction with Underground Comedy (named “DC’s Laugh Leader” by Washington Post).
