Paul Varghese

Paul Varghese's act includes a number of observations about being Indian, providing outsider-looking-in and insider-looking-out commentary, while also exploring an array of topics and issues outside that realm. He was named by the Dallas Observer in 2007 as the "Best Stand-up Comic in Dallas" and won the Improv's 2009 "Funniest Comic in Dallas" contest.

Varghese has performed at the Vancouver Comedy Festival, Great American Comedy Festival, Rooftop Comedy's Aspen Comedy Festival, The HBO Comedy Festival, the Montreal and Toronto's Just For Laughs Festivals and the TBS Comedy Festival. His TV credits include Telemundo 2's "Loco Comedy Jam", NBC's "Last Comic Standing," Comedy Central's "Live At Gotham" and Showtime's "Russell Peters Presents"

Gretchen Young

Step into the world of Gretchen; a wannabe high caliber person lacking the moral compass to actually be one. This Dallas based comedian is living life in her 30s making terrible decisions but doing the best she can. Actively hiding her standup from her dad, her comedy has called “wildly inappropriate” so please keep that in mind if you are easily offended or a child. Gretchen performs and produces comedy shows all over the country. You can watch her self titled web series on her GretchYo YouTube channel. @GretchYo on all social media.

KeLanna Spiller

“KeLanna Spiller, originally hailing from Pine Bluff, AR, now calls Dallas, TX home. In just a few short years, she's graced the stages of renowned comedy venues like the Addison and Arlington Improv alongside national headliners. Her talent landed her as a finalist in the prestigious Funniest Comic in Texas competition at the Improv Comedy Club. Spiller's dynamic storytelling and keen observational humor have earned her a cherished spot among Dallas' comedy scene favorites. However, it was her unforgettable Comedy Central television debut on Kevin Hart Presents: Hart of the City that catapulted her onto the global stage. Since then, she's been delighting audiences at clubs across the globe with her infectious energy and wit.“

Dante Martinez

The youngest child of immigrants Dante grew up stomping around the suburbs of Dallas. Growing up and never quite fitting in Martinez finger-paints a picture of a man trying to find himself while always disappointing his parents. Starting from going to college to learn how to become an actor and then soaring to such great heights as waiting tables deep into his 40’s Martinez tells the story of a working class Latino artist trying to figure out why people are laughing at him.
