Headliner: Ashley Pontius is a Maryland-raised stand-up comic known for sharp punchlines, dark humor, and the kind of honesty that makes audiences laugh and occasionally question their life choices. She blends brutally real stories, sarcastic observations, and a fearless stage presence that proves nothing is off limits—especially her own bad decisions. Whether she’s roasting everyday life or herself, Ashley leaves crowds laughing hard enough to forget they were probably part of the joke.
Features: “Mike Pallotta is from Baltimore and a finalist in the 2020 Magooby's New Comedian of the Year Competition. Since then, Mike has performed at the DC Improv, Port Comedy Club, and Punchline Philly and featured for national touring headliners including Godfrey, Gary Vider, Mike Vecchione, and Hannah Berner.”
Sandhya Ganesh is a senior at Johns Hopkins and has been doing stand-up with her campus comedy club for the past four years. Her style is dry and observant, shaped by years of quietly watching chaos unfold in Florida.
Jules Posner has opened for major comedians and performs regularly at festivals, clubs, and indie shows nationwide. He’s a featured comic at the San Francisco Punch Line, Cobb’s Comedy Club, Punch Line & Helium Comedy Club in Philly, and recently appeared at SF Sketchfest, the Raleigh Comedy Festival, the Riot Comedy Festival & the Limestone Comedy Festival.
Karan Singh has spent the past several years doing stand-up across towns and cities up and down the East Coast. Raised in the suburbs of Northern Virginia as a thoroughly whitewashed, wannabe-black Indian kid, Karan mixes his slightly confused cultural identity with stories from the road and the questionable life lessons he’s picked up along the way.
Special Guests:
Isaac Hirsch is a stand-up comedian who has weird-looking wrists. He has performed at clubs and festivals all over the country. In July 2024, he won 9 games on Jeopardy and has since appeared on Jeopardy Masters, though he promises he actually is not very smart.
Lauren Cocroft co-hosts the By Chance / By Choice podcast and produces No Ragrets Comedy. She has performed across North America, notably winning third place at the Montclair Comedy Festival and featuring in the "Best of the Fest" at Craft Island Comedy Festival in Alberta, Canada.
Host:
Mike Quindlen has been running the Shit Show for going on 16 years! And he is still alive! What else can I say? Ya' know what I'm sayin'!
