WHO IS SECRET SOCIETY COMEDY?
We are a nomad comedy club, popping up at different venues around Northeast Ohio every weekend. Featuring local favorites, nationally touring headliners, and more, our mission is to get you in on the best-kept secrets in stand-up comedy. You never know who you'll see...
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.

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.

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.
