About the comedians:

Mike Peters, a Binghamton comedian, specializes in self-deprecating, observational humor. A contributor for Funny or Die, Peters is the founder of Homebrewed Comedy. He hosts at the Syracuse Funny Bone and Wise Crackers in Wilkes-Barre, Pa., won the Utica Brews Laugh Contest and Uptown Roast Battle and opened for Super Troopers’ Rabbit, Erik Stolhanske and Gilbert Gottfried. Peters produces shows all over New York and hosts his weekly podcasts, On the Mic with Mike Peters and It’s About Time: A Sopranos Watch Podcast.

Amanda Roberto moved to Binghamton from New York City and started doing stand-up in 2023. She’s part of the Puzzled Players improv team in Binghamton. She’s funny, relatable and taller than she looks. She’s someone you’ll want to see.

Ryan Manzo started doing stand-up in 2023, but has quickly become a favorite in Scranton, Pa. His witty humor and quick one-liners keep the audience on its toes. Manzo has featured at Spacement Arts and headlined at the Keystone Stage.

Greg Owens is a Philadelphia transplant who moved to western New York to raise his family. He’s been entertaining audiences with his sardonic takes on suburban life, teenagers and middle age ever since. He recently left the corporate world because making laughs is way more enjoyable than making money. Owens has featured for Bobby Collins, Bobby Slayton, Jimmy Shubert, Moody McCarthy and Earl David Reed.
