Lisa Gilbert’s stand up comedy career began in her hometown, San Diego, CA. She will keep you laughing with her storytelling style comedy. She tours the Country performing in clubs, churches and corporate events. She is recognized as one of the “Best Of” at The Comedy Store, and has a Dry Bar Comedy Special. She has been featured in several Comedy Festivals.

JJ Barrows is an artist, writer, and stand-up comedian who spends much of her comedic energy devoted to making comedic YouTube videos about her life’s foibles. She’s performed in comedy clubs, conferences, churches, and awkward dinner parties all over America. Her refreshing story-telling style relates to anyone who’s experienced the awkwardness of being a human, getting older while remaining young, and most recently the mystery that is marriage after 35 years of single-hood. She most recently published her first book “it’s called a spade,” and filmed her first Dry Bar Comedy Special, proving to be relatable from coast to coast. When she’s not doing stand-up, you may find her performing live art, traveling with her husband (pre and post-quarantine), or spending time at home on the beaches of California, surfing, biking or crying at sunset. Life’s too beautiful not to cry.

Brian Apprille is a stand-up comedian, author, and speaker who has been performing since 1997. He’s appeared on Dry Bar Comedy, NBC, Disney feature films, Sprint TV and AOL’s “Comedy Spotlight.” He is also the winner of the 2016 Clean Comedy Festival and the 2019 CCA Comedy Contest. Critics describe him as “brilliantly entertaining,” and “coast-to-coast funny!” Brian is best known for his high-energy comedy and impressions; he has been dubbed “The Man with A Thousand Voices” and throughout his performances slips between Homer Simpson, Peter Griffin, Alan Rickman and hundreds of other characters both real-life and animated. Brian’s career took a turn for the serious in 2009 when he developed facial paralysis as a result of a rare disease called Ramsay Hunt Syndrome. He found humor in the midst of his challenges and got back on the stage after over a year of fighting Ramsay Hunt Syndrome’s debilitating symptoms. Now an activist and a comic at once, Brian raises awareness of facial paralysis and inspires hope with plenty of belly-laugh healing along the way. He was featured on NBC’s Inspiring San Diego and “Voice of America” along with multiple newspaper articles to share his story.

Natasha Collier got her start in Santa Cruz, California at 19 years old. Rising quickly in the bay area comedy scene, she has since gone on to perform comedy all over the country and world. She has performed at the Santa Cruz Comedy Festival and Savage Henry Comedy Festival, and was the winner of the 2018 Pink Flamingo Comedy Contest and placed second in the 2019 Lilly Macs Comedy Competition. Currently, Natasha is a regular at all the major clubs in San Diego.
