Originally from Columbus Ohio, Vince Morris is one of the hottest up and coming comedy veterans on the scene today. No stranger to television, Vince has appeared on Showtime, B.E.T.’s Comic View, H.B.O’s Def Comedy Jam, Sex and The City, CBS’ Late Late Show, Comics Unleashed W/Byron Allen, and his own Half Hour Comedy Central Special just to name a few. In addition to headlining comedy clubs, theatres and his television appearances, Vince Morris has been featured at the very prestigious Montreal Comedy Festival, and the H.B.O. Aspen Comedy Festival. Vince has also been honored to perform overseas for the US troops in such places as Baghdad, Kuwait, and Japan. Always speaking from his heart, Vince is dangerously funny. With his diverse style, and original material, Vince appeals to audiences from all walks of life. Vince’s unique ability to “switch gears,” allows his comedy to go from “risqué” to squeaky clean, from personal to improvisational, from thought provoking to just down right silly. Predictably unpredictable, Vince is guaranteed never to have the same show twice!

Bright Star Theatre Presents Dino Academy: A Dinosaur Discovery Show

Suzanne is a DC-based comedian, podcast host of Mean But True, and internet personality. Known as “the Regina George Liberal,” she delivers engaging and biting wit to an audience of over one million fans across social media (itssuzannelambert). Her style could best be described as quick, sharp, amused bewilderment; she pairs strangely strong opinions about inconsequential topics with beauty tips and hot political takes. Originally hailing from Georgia, she had a very normal upbringing in a gun-loving Bible Belt town and remains totally unaffected to this day. Suzanne is on a mission to make the internet more fun, politics less boring, and for everyone to get off their phones and get outside. Mean But True has featured guests like Jonathan Van Ness, Phoebe Robinson, Liza Treyger, Sydnee Washington, Adam Rippon, and Gavin Newsom. Suzanne has performed at nationally acclaimed venues like the DC Improv, Laughing Skull, Arlington Drafthouse, Side Splitters and the legendary Friars Club—with national acts like Matthew Broussard, Mark Normand, Katherine Blanford, and Tony Woods.
