She was highlighted in Chicago Parents' Magazine's Four of Chicago's Funniest: Stand Up Parents and was featured on Team CoCo's House All Star Showcase, and Nick Jr.'s Moms' Night Out debut stand up special. Jeanie has set herself apart with her quick observations and no-apology take on teaching, parenthood, and American culture. Her sharp wit draws on her experiences growing up on the South side of Chicago and 20 years as a public school teacher to deliver comedy that reaches audiences of all walks of life.

Kayley Horton – feature comedienne -  is a larger-than-life comedian whose bombastic personality enraptured audiences everywhere. Her audacious sense of humor and sharp wit make her comedy an enthralling experience for everyone.
