Emo Philips has been described by Jay Leno as "the best joke writer in America," and considered by many, including "Weird Al" Yankovic, as one of the funniest people on the planet. Since starting out, at the age of twenty, in Chicago in 1976, Emo has had award-winning comedy albums, several cable specials (including an hour-long one on HBO), and many appearances on network television, in both America and the UK. He has appeared in films (most notably, as the table-saw demonstrator in UHF) and has lent his distinctive voice to animated TV shows (such as Doctor Katz and Home Movies).

Kurt Braunohler has topped many prestigious best-of lists, for his smart standup and his unbridled creativity alike: a fan of absurdity and adventures, his past projects include a documenting a jet ski trip down the Mississippi and hiring a skywriter to play a joke on an entire city. Braunohler's debut album How Do I Land? was the first comedy release for ndie label Kill Rock Stars, and he's currently developing a late night talk show with Comedy Central.

Standup Sean Patton started performing in New Orleans, and he's bouncing between coasts ever since, having quickly become a staple at the biggest clubs across the country and in New York and LA. He has been featured on Comedy Central’s Live at Gotham, Late Night, and Conan, and has made appearances on @midnight, The Meltdown with Jonah and Kumail, This Is Not Happening, Maron and Inside Amy Schumer.
