About Amy Miller:

Amy Miller is a nationally touring comedian known for her sharp wit, authenticity, and engaging stage presence. Amy is a Comedy Central “Up Next” alum and is a regular performer at iconic comedy venues like The Comedy Store, The Comedy Cellar, The Hollywood Improv, and The Laugh Factory. She has a half hour special on Comedy Central called Ham Mouth.

Amy has made memorable appearances on CBS's After Midnight and was a breakout star in the final season of Last Comic Standing, where Keenen Ivory Wayans declared she delivered one of the “fiercest jokes” he’d ever heard. She has also been featured on Viceland's Flophouse and Epix’s Unprotected Sets.

A favorite opener for comedy heavyweights like Tom Segura and Wanda Sykes, Amy continues to captivate audiences with her personal, political, and hilariously relatable material. The Laugh Button praises her for “finding a wildly creative way to spark empowerment and laughter,” while Courting Comedy highlights her “unassuming demeanor juxtaposed with unflinching assurance.”

Her debut album Solid Gold (K*ll Rock Stars) was hailed as one of the top 10 comedy albums by The Interrobang, and her follow-up album California King (Blonde Medicine Records) is equally acclaimed. Amy’s work has been showcased on platforms like Viceland TV, Don’t Tell Comedy, Sirius XM, NPR, and a slew of popular podcasts including Doug Loves Movies, All Fantasy Everything, So True, Bad Dates with Jameela Jamil, and Why Won't You Date Me? with Nicole Byer. Amy also hosts The Basement Tapes Podcast with none other than The Osbourne Family—yes, those Osbournes!

Originally from the East Bay, Amy honed her comedy chops in Oakland and remains a favorite at San Francisco's legendary clubs, including Cobb's Comedy Club and the SF Punch Line. Her festival credits include Moontower, SXSW, High Plains, Laughing Skull, Big Sky, Bridgetown, and SF Sketchfest, among many others. Whether headlining a club, performing at a festival, guesting on a podcast, or doing voice-over work, Amy Miller guarantees audiences a fresh, fiercely funny experience every time she picks up a microphone.

About Josef Anolin:

From Oakland, California currently living in Los Angeles, Josef has opened for the likes of Tom Segura, Whitney Cummings, and Michael Che. He likes telling irreverent stories based on his life and observations. He has an Android phone because he likes pissing you off with his green text bubbles.

About Becky Lynn:

With a dark, but charismatic style and dry, but engaging delivery, Becky Lynn has made herself one of the brightest young stars in the Northern California comedy scene opening for such heavy hitters as Maria Bamford, Jen Kirkman, Tom Papa, Erica Rhodes, and Rhea Butcher.
A finalist in the 2017 Sacramento Comedy Competition, Becky covers a large range of topics including death, modern love, and the best way to help out at a kid's birthday party. She navigates her way through life uniquely and hilariously and in a way that translates perfectly to the stage.
