Comedian Bios:

Vince August is the audience warmup comedian for Comedy Central’s The Daily Show, tours internationally with Trevor Noah and is a series regular on ABC’s What Would You DO?

Born and raised in Hackensack, New Jersey to Sicilian immigrant parents, Vince was dubbed the “Joking Judge” following the New Jersey Supreme Court hearing determining whether he could be both a Judge and entertainer. The New Jersey Supreme Court gave Vince the option to choose. Vince chose entertainer over Judge.

Sonya Vai was born and raised in New York City but is constantly asked, “Where are you really from?” by drunk men in bars. Sonya’s subversive brand of comedy – challenging not only gender but ethnic and religious stereotypes – has been featured at comedy clubs as well as independent shows across the country.

Sonya recently participated in the CinderBlock Comedy Festival in Brooklyn, NY. Last year she opened for the ‘PBS Socal Presents’ film screening of the award winning documentary Meet The Patels. She was also on the ‘Comedy’s Best Kept Secret’ tour, performing in 25 shows over 23 days across 21 cities from Las Vegas to New York.

Lance Weiss has been a national touring comedian for nearly 20 years. Originally from Brunswick, Georgia, but beginning his comedy journey in Washington, D.C. and then later moving to NYC, Lance most recently served as a co-executive producer as well as an on-camera talent for KarmaNetwork.com‘s comedy sketch show “Hey Gordon”. Prior to this, he was co-host of CNBC’s “Common Cents” on digital channel Make It, as well as a co-host in several videos for Conde Nast’s channel The Scene. He was a Top 4 finalist in CMT’s “Next Big Comic”, and has been seen on NBC’s “The Today Show,” FOX’s “Laughs,” MTV’s “World of Jenks,” Bravo’s “The Love Broker,” PBS, Comcast, NY1, NY’s FOX 5, NY’s PIX11, Sirius/XM, ESPN Radio, Today.com, Cosmo.com, AOL.com, NYmag.com, Aboveaverage.com, VisitFlorida.com, Complex News, and in the NY Times, NY Post, and commercials for AT&T, Bud Light, Kit Kat, Liberty Mutual, IBM, and MLB.com.

He has written for CNBC.com’s “Common Cents,” MTV’s Video-on-Demand, HuffingtonPost.com’s “Celebrities Have Issues,” Luckymag.com, Elite Daily, iHeart Radio and brands such as PlayStation, Motorola, Honeywell, USPS, as well as several television pilots.

Lance was a semi-finalist in the New York Comedy Festival’s “NY’s Funniest Standup Competition”. He’s a past champion in Like2Laugh’s March Comedy Madness, beating out 64 other comedians. He has performed at the Bridgetown Comedy Festival, Boston Comedy Festival, Out of Bounds Comedy Festival, Laughing Skull Comedy Festival, San Francisco Comedy Festival, Rogue Island Comedy Festival, Asheville Comedy Festival, Woodstock Comedy Festival, Magners Comedy Festival, North Carolina Comedy Arts Festival and the Hoboken Comedy Festival.

Two days after Michelle Slonim gave birth to a baby girl, Michelle received an email saying she was cast in a sketch for Late Night With Seth Meyers. Michelle had gone on tons of auditions: once in a chicken costume, another time in a bikini while eight months pregnant, and she never got the part. Now a week after her baby was welcomed into the world, Michelle’s in hair, makeup and wardrobe, on set for a major network television show. She plans to have a second child so she can make an appearance on Colbert. Michelle has appeared on web-shows for Comedy Central and HBO and on SiriusXM Radio. You can see her performing stand-up comedy in most clubs and bar shows in New York City.

Ben Rosenfeld’s comedy is “playfully dark, seriously smart.” Ben’s comedy blends his family’s experience as Russian Jewish immigrants in America with his philosophical beliefs, political observations and unique characters. Ben has been seen on BuzzFeedVideo and is slightly “TikTok famous” with over a quarter-million followers and 11 million likes. He’s also appeared on FOX’s Laughs, Travel Channel’s Mysteries At The Museum, CBS This Morning, Nat Geo’s Brain Games, Netflix’s Brainchild, NPR’s Weekend Edition, FOX News Saturday Night, SiriusXM Radio, The New York Post and been featured as TimeOut New York’s Joke of the Week. He has twice headlined at Caroline’s on Broadway, hosted at the Lincoln Center and performs nightly in New York City. Ben has five comedy albums and two illustrated humor books.
