ABOUT YOUR PRODUCERS AND COMICS
NICOLE CALASICH is a Bolivian-American comedian, producer, and generally a winner. Based in San Francisco, she performs regularly at major clubs and intimate rooms including the SF Punchline, Cobb’s, and Doc’s Lab. Her humor is big words smartcool and her penchant for incisive audience rapport is the dumbest. She performs all over the country and has opened for Dan Cummins, Ali Wong, Adam Newman, and features for Iliza Shlesinger. When her Twitter account is not being featured on Comedy Central, she produces four monthly shows in the Bay Area: Attractive Camp, Brave New Jokes, Jokelandish and Resistance is Futile. These are top-drawer comedy events, sure, but are also humble offerings to the great and powerful Xenu. Nicole is available for bookings until Tom Cruise says otherwise.
EMILY EPSTEIN WHITE: Comedian, storyteller, and writer Emily Epstein White has been trapped in a self-cleaning toilet, has stitches from a treadmill accident, and once hung off the front of a truck like a hood ornament for half an avenue to avoid being run over. She performs all around New York City, the Northeast, San Francisco and the Bay area, and the West Coast, (not to mention a boat in the middle of the Yangtze River in China). She has been featured in many festivals and publications such as the New York Underground Comedy Festival, the 360 Comedy Festival, LAFF in Austin, TX, the She-Devil Comedy Festival, the Boston Globe, gawker.com, and has won and hosted the San Francisco MothSlam.
After a particularly harsh winter, WALKER GLENN descended from the foothills of Northern California in search of a mate and a career. Having met his wife and produced a son, he's almost there. Walker is a comedian, and while he initially captured the public's attention by being the only monogamist living in the Bay Area, he has since built upon his notoriety with a polished and original act. With one foot in young adulthood and one foot in actual adulthood, he speaks to those of us who feel at odds with our responsibilities (everyone). Self-recriminating but not self-damning, humble but not ashamed, Walker stands to his full height and lets us watch as he bumps his forehead on life's overhangs. Ingratiatingly funny and relatable, you will love Walker almost as much as Walker loves television.Walker co-produces the shows The Vice Principals of Comedy and The Smart Culture Show. He currently lives in Oakland.
STEVE AUSBURNE: Steve’s first attempt at actual stand-up comedy ended with him getting a lifetime ban from a church in Grant’s Pass, Oregon. Launched by that successful start, Steve now peddles his comedic wares throughout the Bay Area. Steve has performed in SF Sketchfest, competed in the 2016 San Francisco Comedy Competition, and cohosts the Barrel Proof Comedy Podcast. Also, he is allergic to cats.
LESLIE SMALL was born and raised in the beautiful SF Bay area, and is an avid meat eater despite this. She spent her formative years being awesome and doing drugs, basically the American dream. Sick of offending people on accident for free, she started doing standup comedy, where she offends people on purpose (also sometimes for free.) Since starting two years ago she has performed in the 2013 SF Sketchfest and the 2012 She Devil Comedy contest in NY, where she made it to the quarter finals and had the honor of hosting the winner’s showcase. As a published author for Savage Henry Magazine, she tackles the tough subjects like whiskey dick, really doing the Lord’s work. She also enjoys film making and has participated in the 48 Hour Film Festival for both San Francisco and San Jose, winning the 2013 SF fan favorite with the musical “Goyim on the Roof”. She has co-produced successful shows at the Sacramento and SF Punch Lines, Cobb’s Comedy Club and the Hollywood Comedy Store as well as other venues throughout the Bay Area. She’s probably the coolest person you haven’t met.
KARINDA DOBBINS: Dobbins moved from Michigan to California’s Bay Area and responding to repeated dares from a girlfriend who challenged her to try making the crowd laugh at an open mic, Karinda finally took the stage at Woody’s Café, and killed. Sure, she tried to fill the seats with supportive family and friends, and true, she had no competition since nobody else had signed up for stage time, but everybody, from the show’s host to strangers in the audience, was amazed that she was able to do 10 funny minutes of stand-up material her first time onstage. (She’d shrewdly spent a month writing her act in preparation, never anticipating she’d be put under pressure to perform all of it at once.) Spurred on by the enthusiastic feedback, Karinda decided to see where comedy would take her and began honing her craft at more venues. To date, she has appeared at the Bridgetown Comedy Festival; featured at Bay Area comedy clubs the Punch Line and Cobb’s; opened for Hari Kondabolu, Trevor Noah and toured with W. Kamau Bell. Karinda made her primetime national television debut on Coast-to-Coast Episode 1 on NickMom Night Out.
