Mike Paramore is the guy you fight to sit next to in a movie theatre, on a long car ride, or during a boring lecture. His natural ability to infuse everyday situations with energetic, uplifting humor, combined with a natural ability to put you at ease is key to his personal brand of comedy.
His smooth delivery and powerful punchlines are very apparent on his debut album 'The Things We Tell Ourselves' and in both of his Dry Bar Comedy specials 'You've Just Been Flirted With' and 'I Probably Shouldn't Say This.'
In addition to his resumé headlining comedy clubs and cruise ships around the world, Mike was a finalist in the 2014 World Series of Comedy, winner of the 2015 Cleveland Comedy Festival, winner of the 2016 Laughing Devil Festival, winner of the 'Best in the Midwest' competition at Gilda's LaughFest in 2017, and winner of the Loons on the Lake Comedy Festival in 2023.
He was featured on AXS TV's 'Live at Gotham, 'as well as a featured comedian on FOX's hit show "Laughs". He has one album on Amazon Prime and Sirius XM radio and two albums with Dry Bar Comedy.
Rob Coleman is a highly versatile comedian with over a decade of experience entertaining audiences. Rob's comedic journey began at the renowned comedy open mic spot called Robin's Nest, a breeding ground for talented comedians such as Cool TLC, Rob Allen, Ryan Dalton, Joe Wiley, Courtney G, and many others. It was here that Rob honed his skills, laying the foundation for his ascent as one of Cleveland's most beloved comics.
In his early days, Rob's comedic prowess earned him multiple wins in prestigious comedy contests, propelling him into the limelight. His talent caught the attention of esteemed comedy veterans like Martini Harris, Black Coffee, and even the legendary Dolemite himself, Rudy Ray Moore, leading to invitations to participate in their shows. These experiences further solidified Rob's reputation as a formidable comic in the industry.
Throughout his career, Rob has garnered several accolades from the Ohio Urban Comedy Council, including the titles of "Most Creative" (2003), "Most Original" (2005), and "Comic of the Year" (2006). These awards are a testament to his unique style and ability to captivate audiences with his fresh and innovative brand of humor.
In recent years, Rob has expanded his performance horizons, taking his comedy beyond traditional comedy clubs. His material transcends age, race, and religion, enabling him to connect with diverse audiences at various venues, including local churches, benefit events, colleges, and retirement communities. As a regular host at the esteemed Cleveland Improv and a sought-after emcee throughout the city, Rob continues to leave a lasting impression wherever he goes.

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.
