Nato Green
Nato Green
Nato Green was summed up more or less accurately by The East Bay Express as, “erudite and acerbic, a San Francisco-raised father, union organizer, gastronome, bibliophile, and political sparkplug.” His podcast The Nato Sessions is produced by 3200 Stories. His first comedy album, The Nato Green Party, was released by Rooftop Comedy. Nato has been named San Francisco's Best Comedian by the SF Weekly, Huffington Post, and CBS.

Nato is the creator of Iron Comic, the Iron Chef-spoofing comedy game show he co-hosts with Moshe Kasher. Nato has a regular column in the San Francisco Examiner, and his humor commentaries have appeared in VICE, Truthdig, Huffington Post, the San Francisco Bay Guardian, The Rumpus, and The Bold Italic. He also hosts FSFSF, a short spotlight on Bay Area comedy that airs every weekday during NPR's All Things Considered on 91.7FM KALW. Nato wrote for Totally Biased with W. Kamau Bell on FX and toured nationally with W. Kamau Bell & Janine Brito as Laughter Against the Machine.

Lieb is a comedian, writer, actor and street musician/Bone Thugs-N-Harmony cover band. He was named "one of my all-time favorite Bay Area performers" by the award-winning SF blog Courting Comedy and, in that same post, described as "extremely talented, charmingly dark and genuinely pleasant".

Kelly Anneken

Kelly has appeared at Iowa’s Green Gravel Comedy Festival and Boston’s Women in Comedy Festival. Her debut comedy release “Twenty Minutes to Sell” is available wherever digital recordings are sold.
Josef Anolin
Josef Anolin
Josef Anolin is a premier, up-and-coming performer boasting verve and nerve where “Def” meets deft. Josef reflects an eclectic appeal; a product of his melting pot, Bay Area upbringing and Filipino/Japanese American heritage. Onstage he’s known for on-point punditry, stylish substance and a palpable, affable freshness.

His humor has been described as, “incredulously profound while simultaneously embodying a playful deviousness. Challenging one stereotype or social norm one moment, to championing another with a faux willful ignorance the next.”

He currently co-produces 2 awesome monthly shows in San Francisco: "Live At Deluxe" & "Haters Gonna Hate" and if you'd like can be followed on social media sites @josefanolin
Natasha Muse
Natasha Muse
Natasha Muse is the C3P0 of San Francisco comedy: she's been mistaken for a golden god but in reality she's a bumbling gay robot. SF Weekly declared her the "Funniest Tranny in SF." She's a member of the stand-up collective the Business; has been in such comedy festivals as the SF Sketchfest and Bridgetown; and is a regular at the SF Punchline, Cobb's Comedy Club and Doc's Lab.
Natasha's comedy is so good it's not even funny.

His writing has been featured in Savage Henry Independent Times, and he has participated in the Savage Henry Comedy Festival. He's also been featured in SF Sketchfest three years in a row. He's really into Dim Sum. He has dope sideburns, but it's not a Wolverine thing, so be cool about it.
