Blake Hammond
Blake Hammond is a fat and loud comedian from Cincinnati, Ohio. Blake is a staff writer for the nationally syndicated morning show Bob and Tom. His fat and loud comedy has been put on Audible.com and he was a featured performer on the 2018 Limestone Comedy Festival and in 2023 was accepted into Skankfest in Las Vegas. Blake has opened for Patton Oswalt, Mark Normand, Kyle Kinane and Doug Stanhope. Most recently, his first fat and loud comedy special titled “Blake 182” and his Don’t Tell Special “Everybody’s Mad at Taylor Swift”was released on YouTube.
Carter Dockerty is just a kid from Akron, Ohio who started comedy in 2019 at Funny Stop Comedy Club. Winner of Funniest in Cincinnati 2022, Carter was an emcee and feature act at Go Bananas Comedy Club while he attended Miami University. He then made his way to Chicago where he became a regular at Zanies and Laugh Factory and began touring with Jordan Jensen. Carter is an awkward 24 year old who is just trying to figure it all out. His comedy consists of talking about his dick and his opinions. And most of his opinions are about his dick.
John Brown hails from Akron, Ohio and has a laid back delivery, combining observational humor with story telling and a touch of his herb-induced daydreams. John has won best of fest awards at Rubber City Comedy Festival (2024), Cleveland Comedy Festival (2023), and was a finalist at the Loons On The Lake Comedy Festival (2023). He went from his first open mic to headlining at Funny Stop Comedy Club and is a regular feature/host at the famous Hilarities in Cleveland. John has opened for comedians such as George Wallace, Zoltan Kazsas, and Brooks Wheelan. This up and coming rust belt comedian is one that you don’t want to miss and will surely be telling your friends at work about the next day.

Bryan Sternik is the maestro of mishaps and the sultan of silliness! Half Puerto Rican and half Polish, this meeting of diverse backgrounds makes Bryan's life reads like a script from a sitcom. With a talent for turning everyday blunders into belly laughs, he's the undisputed champion of charming chaos. Whether he's tripping over his own shoelaces or mistaking a potted plant for a new coworker, Bryan Sternik is a one-man show you didn't know you needed in your life until the middle of his performances, whether you see him at a comedy club, on a tour bus, or at a bowling alley.

With a last name like that, Cleveland-based comic David Horning learned at a young age to lean into what bothers him using humor, and his comedy is a reflection of this. His optimistic slant on both mundane and heavy topics has gotten him selected to the New York Comedy Festival, Laughing Devil Comedy Festival, the Cleveland Comedy Festival, and on stages around the country. On top of stand-up, David regularly appears on conference stages as keynote speaker and teaches the leadership value of Thinking Like A Comedian to managers and executive teams across industries. He is a co-founder of Secret Society Comedy, a pop-up comedy club bringing the best up-and-coming comedians from around the country to Northeast Ohio.

Gheramy is the owner and operator of Golden Ox Studio, which specializes in podcast and live event video production. He can be seen on comedy stages across the city and has recently performed in the Mutiny Radio Comedy Fest, Cleveland Comedy Festival, Sixth City Comedy Fest, and the Midwestern Queer Comedy Festival. He is the host of the "Not Weird, Just Homeschooled" podcast because he's not weird, he's just homeschooled. Renowned failure and a well educated idiot whose only contribution to this world will be when he is no longer in it, Gheramy is not sorry that you wasted your time reading this bio.
