He moved out to San Francisco after college and began his stand-up career there. He quickly became a staple in the San Francisco comedy scene and went on to have immediate success by doing the Montreal Comedy Festival and Jimmy Kimmel Live. In 2010, Kevin won the NBC’s Stand Up for Diversity Showcase and went on a national college tour. Since then, he has been touring the country performing his stand-up. He also has the daily Mon-Fri “All I’m Sayin Podcast” which is available on iTunes. kevinshea.tv @kevinsheacomedy Fizaa Dosani is an Indian-American stand-up comedian, actor, and writer who was born and raised in Florida before escaping to Los Angeles. If you want conventional, look elsewhere, because Fizaa is probably unlike anyone you've met. As a comic, she is an energy rollercoaster who serves her audiences kinetic, side-splitting hilarity. Unable to predict her next move, audience members have said they can't take their eyes off of her while she performs. She once made a man laugh so hard that he peed himself, a work hazard that she has since come to terms with. Fizaa has toured widely and performs on well-known stages around the world. She has also had roles in acclaimed movies and TV shows such as Dear White People (Netflix), How To Get Away With Murder (ABC), and Snowfall (FX). In 2017, Fizaa created Facial Recognition Comedy, a rapidly expanding comedy brand which is now a nationally touring stand-up show with bicoastal residencies in LA and NYC, as well as a weekly podcast of the same name, which she co-hosts. Facial Recognition Comedy was founded to combat tokenism while showcasing diversity within marginalized demographics, starting with her own: female-identifying comics of South Asian descent. In November 2018, Fizaa was named as an up-and-coming comedian by The New York Times in an article listing Facial Recognition Comedy as one of the top 5 shows they were most excited to see at the NY Comedy Festival. In December 2018, the legendary Russell Peters asked to guest-host that month's Los Angeles show. In January 2020, Fizaa performed with Facial Recognition Comedy at the SF Sketchfest for her third year in a row. The show has also been featured on the Daily Beast and Vulture's Splitsider. @Fizaadosani Isak Allen isn’t your typical comedian. A half-Chinese kid who grew up in a redneck suburb during the ‘90s, he has always had a unique perspective on life ranging from his multicultural experiences with hardly any other Asians around, his marriage (and divorce), his observations on carpool lanes, and his hot takes on women in football and absentee fathers. Isak recorded a soon-to-be-released DryBar Comedy Special entitled “Culturally Unavailable”. He can be seen on television and new media in a State Farm commercial with Patrick Mahomes, as well as an American Airlines commercial and season 2 of HBO’s “Westworld” and the hit Crunchyroll series “Anime Crimes Division”. Not only has Isak shared the stage with the likes of Bill Burr, Joe Rogan, Tom Papa, Joey Diaz, and Taylor Williamson, but he is also a regular at The Comedy Store and has done audience warm-up at Comic Con for the Impractical Jokers. He tours clubs and colleges all over the country, and has written on the web series “LOL Parenting”. His short film “The Impossible Choice” has over 15,000 views on YouTube and was a finalist in the 2020 Austin Comedy Film Festival. @theisakallen Sammy Cantu is a Mexican/Vietnamese model, actor and comedian who started doing stand up in Escondido, CA. He’s been on numerous commercials, magazines and billboards played all over the nation. Sammy also performs all over Southern California at venues such as the Laugh Factory, The Comedy Store, The Comedy Palace and Madhouse Comedy Club.
