About Mike Gaffney

Growing up in the gritty streets of Jersey City, NJ, Mike quickly realized that he needed to learn how to fight or be funny. He chose the latter. Mike was the class clown and the ball buster of his boyhood crew. He spent most of his twenties recovering from addiction and having a family. In 2002 Mike decided to grab the mic and do what he knew best. Armed with a shaky past and bright future, Mike takes the stage each night with great energy and love for life. No one in Mike's life is safe from being a part of his act. Mike holds nothing back and is rarely offensive. He recently started a website for humor in recovery and tours regularly in the recovery convention circuit. Mike has a great way of making us laugh at some of the most-touchy subjects from addiction to children. He is a regular at some of the most renowned clubs in and around NYC.

About Nick Guerra

With just under a few years into stand up, Nick Guerra has won over crowds from all walks of life. Whether it is performing from clubs to colleges or just any place with a stage, Nick has shown that dedication and continuous work has paid off. His style balances all topics; current events, relationship humor, and personal stories have become his arsenal when given a microphone. The crowds never knew what to expect with Nick and are rarely disappointed. Nick has written, asst. directed, acted and story produced for the "Mun 2" reality show "Pitbull's La Esquina" (2nd season), performed on Comedy Central's "Gabriel Iglesias Stand Up Revolution" (2nd season) and just filmed for Nuvo TV's "Stand Up & Deliver" (2nd season).

About Erin Jackson

The Washington Post was stated saying, "Washington has been the home of a number of very good comics and a few great ones (Wanda Sykes, Dave Chappelle, Lewis Black, Martin Lawrence). Erin Jackson could be next in line." Armed with a megawatt smile and a pocket full of dreams, Jackson is poised to conquer the world of stand-up. In fact, she'd probably be well on her way to superstardom by now if her friends and family hadn't spent so many years hating on her dreams and stealing her joy. Since first making a name for herself at colleges and east coast comedy clubs, Erin's warm, conversational style and relatable humor have helped to propel her onto the national stage. She has performed on "The Ellen DeGeneres Show" and Comedy Central's "Live at Gotham," and she was a semifinalist on season 6 of NBC's "Last Comic Standing."
