Whether performing at comedy clubs, breweries, casinos, corporate events or private functions, Joe brings professionalism, reliability and the versatility to tailor his clean-but-edgy material to any audience while delivering consistently big laughs with quick audience interaction, polished hosting, adaptable performances and a reputation for making every show feel memorable.

Quinn Fitzgerald

Quinn Fitzgerald is a rising stand-up comic out of Seattle, known for his clever storytelling, relatable observations and effortless stage presence. An everyman who’s not too proud to admit that most of the time he's just trying to figure out what's going on.

Mark Christopher

Mark Christopher is an old-school comic with a modern sensibility (meaning he tells jokes but not the "dad" type). His meticulous writing ensures that each performance is packed with ingenious twists and turns that keep the audience guessing (and of course laughing).

Mark is from Miami, but he started his comedy career in San Francisco, where he was a regular at the world-famous SF Punchline. Over the years, Mark has worked with many of the biggest names in comedy, including Bill Burr, Kevin Nealon, Laurie Kilmartin, Emo Philips, Nathan Macintosh, Jackie Kashian, Tommy Brennan, Bret Ernst and the late, great Mitch Hedberg. Side note: Robin Williams once whispered “you’re funny” into Mark's ear and Mark still carries the ear with him for inspiration (it's the left one).

More recently, Mark was a finalist in the 2024 Florida’s Funniest Comedy Competition and he has been performing with the soon-to-be-famous White Collar Comedy Tour. When he's not on stage, Mark loves to scuba dive and has even worked as a tiger shark wrangler.
