The June 4th lineup features:

TALIA REESE (SiriusXM Radio; The Wendy Williams Showw) – https://www.taliareese.com

Talia Reese ditched the exciting world of bankruptcy law to pursue a more stable path as a stand-up comedian, which thrilled her parents to no end. Luckily, her career move has worked out. She regularly performs at the hottest comedy clubs and events in the US and Canada–and soon, Israel! Her jokes have appeared in major news publications and are mentioned frequently on Page Six. The Times of Israel says Talia’s “a rising comedy star who has a polish, panache, and a gift of jab reminiscent of her childhood hero, Joan Rivers.” Her parents were most proud when Talia’s comedy show was called a “Hot Ticket” by the NY Post. Her routines feature personal life stories, from growing up in Great Neck to life as a newly observant Jew, marriage, motherhood, and a unique take on being female in today’s society. A recent surge in interest in her stand-up clip “Female Privilege” has garnered over 350K views on YouTube. Passionate fans are blown away by the irony and intellect behind her jokes.

DAN ALTANO – (Comic Strip Live!; SiriusXM) – https://www.danaltano.com/

Dan Altano has carved a name for himself in stand-up comedy by blending brutal honesty, sharp wit, and genuine heart into high-energy performances. He headlines comedy clubs and theaters nationwide and was recently named the National Comedic Host of the 2025 “Best Of” Awards, an event held in major cities around the country to honor top businesses. Dan’s 2023 album, Stand-Up Dad, debuted at #1 on the iTunes Comedy Charts and now plays in regular rotation on SiriusXM.

Produced/Hosted by BEN ASHER (New York Comedy Festival; StandUp NBC; Iceland Comedy Festival headliner; Caroline's; Catch A Rising Star; DoublePlusGood Comedy) - http://www.benasher.net

Ben Asher, a writer and comedian from New York, is known for his “brave,” confrontational material, and his skills as a “brilliant joke writer” among fellow comedians. He performs regularly at comedy venues and colleges throughout the metropolitan area, East Coast, and Europe. Audiences are always quick to share their appreciation of Ben’s style of sardonic irreverence and absurd, satiric wit in which he doesn’t just dissect language and taboos - he explodes them. “What Ben Asher says makes me laugh, even though I feel like I shouldn’t."
