Jackie Kashian

Jackie Kashian is a stand-up comedian who has been seen on After Midnight, Conan, Corden, HBO, Netflix, and Comedy Central. She’s been heard on Bob’s Burgers and Strange Planet; and featured on NPR and Audible.

She has a new tiny comedy special "LOOKING BACK" shot from a Mazda 6 in reverse. She's currently sharing 966 sq feet with her husband, mom-in-law, two chihuahua mix doggos, and a cat. Working on a brand new genre of standup comedy: Positive Mother-In-Law Jokes.

Jackie will be performing Saturday, March 15th.


James Adomian

James Adomian is a comedian from California, but his impact can truly be considered global or even cosmic. As a voiceover artist he has appeared on a hundred cartoons and a thousand podcasts. As an on-camera (i.e. "real") actor, he has enjoyed some amusing failures and tolerated a few partial successes across television, cinema, and the world wide web. James is one of those performers who plays "deep characters” so people often do not connect that he was "that guy" who they loved so much from some particular thing.

On the stage he is a living god, an incarnation of Dionysus, meaning he is often drunk and largely available for bookings. He has been to Armenia twice but still can't seem to convince anyone that he is Armenian. James is a proud Aquarius, and he is very, very Aquarian to the point where you would think he's doing a bit when you meet him.

James will be performing Friday, March 14th.


Aparna Nancherla

Aparna Nancherla is a comedian and general silly billy. Her sense of humor is dry, existential, and absurd, with notes of uncalled-for whimsy. Think a wine you didn’t order.

Her book, Unreliable Narrator: Me, Myself and Impostor Syndrome (Viking), is currently available via Penguin Random House and was released on September 19, 2023.

Named by Rolling Stone “one of the funniest people right now,” Aparna has a half-hour special on the second season of The Standups on Netflix, as well as appearances on Late Night with Stephen Colbert on CBS and Two Dope Queens on HBO.

Aparna will be performing Friday, March 14th.


Hari Kondabolu

The NY Times called Hari Kondabolu “one of the most exciting political comics in stand-up today” and described his 2018 Netflix special “Warn Your Relatives” as “an incisively funny and formally adventurous hour that reveals a comic in command of his powers.” It was named on many “Best of” lists, including for Time, Paste Magazine, Cosmopolitan, E! Online, and Mashable. He was also named one of 2018 “Comics To Watch” by Variety. He currently co-hosts the Netflix food competition show “Snack vs. Chef” with Megan Stalter.

In 2017, his truTV documentary “The Problem with Apu” was released and created a global conversation about race and representation. The Nation described it as “a devastating critique of the ultimate comedic sacred cow: The Simpsons.” It is now used in high school, college and grad school curriculums around the country.

Hari will be performing Saturday, March 15th.


Adam Pasi

Adam Pasi is a stand up comedian from Portland, Oregon. Having been a northwest staple for years, he’s recently started to gain more notoriety with a set on Don’t Tell Comedy, as well as an episode of the PBS series Roots of Comedy. Often intense, but never taking himself too seriously, Adam enjoys bringing (sometimes dragging) others along as he picks apart the absurdity of his own life and the world in which he lives.

Adam performs Saturday, March 15th.
