Jon has appeared on the Late Show with Stephen Colbert and the Late Show with David Letterman. A prolific monologist with universal appeal, Jon focuses on the idiosyncrasies of city living. Shortly after moving to NYC from his native Boston, he was chosen as one of Comedy Central’s Fresh Faces of Comedy and named one of Back Stage Magazine’s 10 Standout Stand-ups.

His appearance on Last Comic Standing 4 – where he was the New York City Capital One Audience Favorite – earned him wide recognition and a new legion of fans. His other TV appearances include Comedy Central’s Premium Blend, VH1, Celebrity Apprentice, and 3 Men and a Chick Flick on the WE Network where he served as a host.

Liz Miele

Ellen Karis is the “Greek Goddess of Comedy” and performs stand-up comedy all over North America. Born and raised in NYC in a traditional strict Greek home, her brand of sarcastic, observational humor is loved by all crowd types.

As an acclaimed actress, Ellen has worked in TV, Film and Theatre. She has been seen on Amazon’s “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel”,  Martin Scorsese’s “The Irishman”, Showtime’s “Billions”, NBC’s “Blacklist” and the Tina Fey/Amy Poehler feature film “Sisters”.

A former CPA who worked on Wall Street, she has appeared on many cable news shows, talk radio and Sirius XM. Her podcast available on iTunes “Karis Comedy Corner” has a weekly array of guests and has caught quite the buzz as a different and intelligent voice to hit the podcast arena. Ellen is currently working on her first humor book.

Shaun Eli

Stand-up comedian Shaun Eli has rightfully been called one of America’s smartest comics. Whether it’s a story about dining with a vegetarian or successfully fighting a parking ticket, master storyteller Shaun Eli shows you that there’s hilarity in the ordinary if you approach life with a comedic warp. Job interviews? Serving on a NYC criminal jury? How about the Ten Commandments? For just about anything he’s experienced Shaun has a hilarious story at the ready.

His jokes have been quoted everywhere from the New York Post to Readers Digest to Healthcare Finance News. He’s been featured on CareerBuilder.com and CNN, in local papers like the Scarsdale Inquirer and the Asbury Park Press and in the college papers the Yale Daily News and the Daily Pennsylvanian. Even in The Journal of Irreproducible Results, a scientific humor magazine. Yes, there is one. And his group The Ivy League of Comedysm was the subject of a front-page story in the Philadelphia Inquirer. Shaun was also the subject of a cover story in the Christian Science Monitor.

More than just smart, funny and clever, Shaun is determined to express his opinion passionately, not surprising for someone who wrote his first satirical essay at age ten. When profiled in Fortune magazine “Tonight Show” host Jay Leno quoted one of Shaun’s jokes, citing it as an example of the type of “smart comedy” he’s happy to include in his opening monologue. Jay and other late-night hosts have used Shaun’s topical material in their monologues for more than a decade.

Outside the world of comedy Shaun was a world-class athlete in two obscure sports (rowing and dragon-boat racing), worked as a lifeguard instructor and is an instrument-rated pilot. He is also an award-winning economic forecaster who once sold his car to a hitchhiker.

Shaun is a graduate of the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania. You can watch his videos and read some of his writings, including satirical political essays and hundreds of jokes he’s written for late-night television, on his web site BrainChampagne.com where his slogan “Brain Champagne: Clever Comedy for Smart Mindssm” rings true.
