Description

Two of the best comedians in Omaha in one night! Born and Raised in Omaha Nebraska, Rachel Ware started as a voice actor, staring as voices in cartoons like Strawberry Shortcake, Horeseland, and Dino Squad. She went to a small college for theater performance, quickly dropped out, as well as getting fired from her job at Party City. Having nothing else to lose, she tried improv, and quickly blossomed in the growing Nebraska comedy scene. In 2016 she won an Nebraska Entertainment and Arts award for Best Comedian in Omaha, and later that year landed a 8-series commercial agreement with KIA, and a callback to Boom Chicago. Winner of the Omaha Entertainment and Arts Award for Best Comedian in 2017, David Burdge has established himself as one of the best comedians in the Midwest. He created the much loved GAY AF comedy show that has played to packed audiences in Omaha and Lincoln. He has performed at the World Famous Comedy Store in Los Angeles as well as on RuPaul's Drag Con. He has been the MC for Heartland Pride in Omaha numerous times and as well as sitting on the board of directors. His comedy is loved by LBGTQ folx and straights folks alike! Brad Stewart began his comedy career shortly after moving to Los Angeles from Nebraska in 1995 and winning 1st place in comedy contest. He beat out hundreds of comedians to win $500. Brad used it to register his car in California. Since that time Brad has performed at many different clubs and theaters all over the country to rave reviews. From The Nokia Theater in Los Angeles to the Hilton Casino in Atlantic City, Brad has entertained many diverse audiences with his high energy, observational style of humor.  In early 2010 Brad had the honor of becoming a favorite opening act for comedy legend Joan Rivers. Joan said Brad is "so talented and a joy to work with" Brad has also opened for The Temptations, Jon Lovitz, Keith Sweat, Rob Schneider, The O'Jays, Barry Manilow, and 80's rockers Loverboy.  In 2012 Brad was picked by TV Icon Marlo Thomas as a "Comedian to Watch" for the Huffington Post.  Brad's comedy is a mix of his observations about life and his love/hate relationship with pop culture. Music is a big love of Brad's and a lot of his comedy comes from his frustrations with the state of popular music which should be relatable to anyone with ears.
