Vince August is the audience warmup comedian for Comedy Central's The Daily Show, tours internationally with Trevor Noah and is a series regular on ABC's What Would You DO?
Born and raised in New Jersey to Sicilian immigrant parents, Vince was dubbed the "Joking Judge" following the New Jersey Supreme Court hearing determining whether he could be both a Judge and entertainer. The New Jersey Supreme Court gave Vince the option to choose. Vince chose entertainer over Judge.
Billy Prinsell is a New York City based stand-up comedian who was one of Comedy Central’s ‘Comics to Watch and has a new comedy special "Hunka Bunka" available on AppleTV.
Ben Rosenfeld's comedy is “playfully dark, seriously smart.” Ben’s comedy blends his family’s experience as Russian Jewish immigrants in America with his philosophical beliefs, political observations and unique characters. Ben has been seen on BuzzFeedVideo and is slightly “TikTok famous” with over a quarter-million followers, 11 million likes and 100 million views. He’s also appeared on FOX’s Laughs, Travel Channel’s Mysteries At The Museum, CBS This Morning, Nat Geo’s Brain Games, Netflix’s Brainchild, NPR’s Weekend Edition, FOX News Saturday Night, SiriusXM Radio, The New York Post and been featured as TimeOut New York’s Joke of the Week. He has twice headlined at Caroline’s on Broadway, hosted at the Lincoln Center and performs nightly in New York City. Ben has five comedy albums and two illustrated humor books.
Cyndy Cecil gave a speech at a conference with the hopes to move people…make them feel something…maybe even make them cry. They ended up laughing. Friends said, “Do stand-up.” Now Cyndy grabs every mic she can in New York City at night, while by day, she produces content for companies like Apple TV+, Nat Geo, Hallmark and others.
