Brian Parise started out comedy in Washington DC and then moved to New York City after being selected to perform as one of the New Faces for the Just For Laughs Comedy Festival in Montreal. He's performed at the Boston Comedy Festival. Laugh Your Asheville Off Comedy Festival, and Laughing Devil Comedy Festival. Brian has also been recognized as a sharp political comic, winning Pardon the Pundit’s Political Comedy Competition and then roasting Washington’s political elites at DC’s Funniest Celebrity (where he was threatened with a tax audit). He's performed with great comedians like Dave Attell, Patton Oswalt, Patrice O’Neal, Bill Burr, and he brings smart, fresh humor wherever he performs.

Chelsea Shorte is originally from Richmond, Va. After moving to the DC Metro for work, Chelsea discovered comedy as a way to stave off the boredom of being a beautiful twenty-something. Beginning in 2010, Chelsea has been studying and performing improv at several of Washington DC’s improv theaters, including ComedySportz DC, the DC Improv, and the Washington Improv Theater. Since first taking the stage as a stand-up in early 2011, she has flourished on the local scene. In addition to producing and hosting the monthly, all-female Little Spoons Comedy Showcase, Chelsea frequently hosts and performs at various local shows in DC.
