Your headliner is Chris Coccia

His act is a perfect combination of hilarious material and the ability to present it “in the moment”. Flowing seamlessly between material and improvised interaction with the crowd, Chris is able to open the audience up as he pulls them into a shared recognition of our own human-ness.Chris keeps a full schedule working everything from the country’s top comedy clubs to corporate events to colleges. Inaddition, Chris Coccia won the 2008 Purina Pet Comedy Challenge, a national event with a $10,000.00 prize. He was also invited to be part of the Great American Comedy Festival in Johnny Carson’s hometown, Norfolk, NE put together by the talent coordinator of the Late Show with David Letterman, Eddie Brill. He has appeared on Comedy Central, The Game Show Network, and XM Radio. Chris is also a frequent and favorite guest on several Philadelphia based radio shows.

Featuring Jared Stern

He has been making complete strangers laugh at him for twenty years and counting. From humble beginnings at a hole-in-the-wall club in Baltimore in 2002, he is now the most humble person in the world, not that he’s one to brag about it. He was recently told that his comedy was “top drawer”, which is where he keeps his socks and underwear, so that makes sense.

During his career he has performed with the likes of Mike Birbiglia, Judah Friedlander, Richard Lewis, ISMO, Orny Adams, John Witherspoon, Jon Lovitz, Emo Philips, and Caroline Rhea. He was voted the 2023 & 2024 (and 2013) Best Comedian in D.C. by the readers of the Washington City Paper. He was a featured performer at the 2017 What A Joke Fest, the 2018 LaughFest, the 2019 Oak City Comedy Festival, and the 2023 & 2024 North Carolina Comedy Festival. His new album, Live On Broadway*, is available on all digital platforms. He can be seen in the comedy special, A Couple Of Characters, available on Prime Video, Apple TV+, and other streaming platforms. He is also the co-Jared Stern of the Between Two Sterns podcast.
