Shane Clark - Shane's comedic style is a paradox that's hard to explain – an uncanny ability to address the uncomfortable with a dose of warmth and likability. He takes his audience on a rollercoaster of emotions, from uproarious laughter to introspective contemplation, and all emotions in between. His genuine approach allows him to connect with people on a deeper level and create a real camaraderie with his crowd

Headliner: Kathleen McGee - Did you have that babysitter who was the first person to explain what a bikini wax was?
She was the one who always snuck into your mom’s scotch, gave you a nip, then had a screaming fight with her boyfriend on your land line, warned you off all men, then the boyfriend showed up and they spent the rest of the night making out on your couch. No? You do now.
Kathleen has been seen at Just for Laughs on The Nasty Girls Show, JFL Northwest Nasty Show, a finalist in SiriusXM Top Comic, Winnipeg Comedy Festival, CBC Debaters, CBC Television and the Oddblock Comedy Festival. She has been a returning guest on Stop Podcasting Yourself, Ari Shaffir’s Skeptic Tank and can be heard regularly on Sirius XM Radio. Kathleen also hosts her own popular podcast
Kathleen McGee is a hot mess. She has opened for some of the biggest names in comedy right now including Russell Peters, Hannibal Burress, Dave Foley & Ari Shaffir. This girl's unapologetic and dark sense of humor will have you talking long after the
show is over.
