Zach Russell’s sharp joke-writing and animated stage presence have captivated audiences across the U.S. since 2015. Early on, Zach was named a finalist in Boston’s Funniest College Kid Contest, finalist in Empire’s Stand Up Competition, and he currently performs at clubs across NYC, including West Side Comedy Club, The Grisly Pear, The Tiny Cupboard, and Brooklyn Comedy Club.
He has performed in the Best of Boston Sketch Fest (2018), Cleveland Comedy Festival (2019, 2021), 6th Borough Comedy Festival (2020), and is currently featured on this season of Food Network’s “Worst Cooks in America.” Zach is also the creator of Overshadowed Podcast and content for the drooling scrolling masses.
Jimmie Graham is a Cleveland-based stand-up comedian known for his unique, sometimes dark yet charming point of view that keeps audiences guessing... is a quote that everybody uses, but has never actually been said. Not even once.
He has opened for the likes of Dave Attell, Dan Soder, Big Jay Oakerson, Shane Gillis, and more. He also appeared on Bleacher Report's "Sneak This" where he somehow pissed off thousands of sneakerheads. He runs a regular crowd work show at Hilarities called "Joke's On You." His penis is just okay.
WHO IS SECRET SOCIETY COMEDY?

Bryan Sternik is an up-and-coming Cleveland comedian whose conversational style and upbeat demeanor can make even his darkest jokes feel lighthearted.

He is the co-host of "The Guiltless Podcast" and "Dude, Nobody Cares."

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, teaching the value of humor in business to managers and executive teams across industries. He also produces 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.

Kevin Morrison is a youngish yet crafty stand-up comic hailing from Cleveland, Ohio. His irreverent style and wit will have you in agreement that he's not the sharpest tool in the shed but one of the funniest. When he's not onstage cracking jokes, he's digging ditches wishing he was onstage cracking jokes.
