Meet the Comedians

Jen Murphy

Jen is a nationally touring comedian whose innocent looks, paired with a sharp and witty delivery, landed her headlining gigs at comedy clubs and festivals nationwide. After starting her stand-up career in New York, Jen relocated to Los Angeles and has been seen on "LaughsTV" on FOX, NBC's “Last Comic Standing,” ABC's “Comics Unleashed with Byron Allen,” and filmed her half-hour special for TLC called “This is Why You’re Still Single.” In 2014, Jen Murphy was named one of the "Five Comics to Watch Out For" by OC Weekly, and she can also be seen in the independent comedy “Dumbbells,” along with Jon Huck and Carl Reiner, released in 2015. Jen is also a writer with a stand-up career, having published two articles in the L.A. Times this past year.

Feraz Ozel

Fezaz was recruited by the CIA but turned it down for a life in comedy. This LA-based comedian tours internationally, providing crowds with an energetic brand of insightful stand-up, often stemming from his perspectives as an Afghani-Pakistani American. Also a formally trained actor and improviser, Feraz has appeared on national television on 2 Broke Girls, Hollywood Darlings, Comics Unleashed, Conan, and Hulu's Coming to the Stage, and recently shot his lead role in the feature film "Hollywood Dirt." Feraz is also a seasoned writer. He recently directed the film "Curious Georgina," which starred Himself and Bobby Lee, screened at Just for Laughs in Montreal, and distributed by Kevin Hart’s LOL Network.

Dan Gabriel

The comedy bug in college bit Dan. His fellow students at UC Davis told him he was funny, and luckily, he was gullible enough to believe them. The next few years were spent in class by day and searching for scraps of stage time at night. After graduation, Dan returned to his hometown of San Francisco and immersed himself in the tight-knit comedy community there. This allowed Dan to tour and open for comedy legends like Dave Chappelle, George Lopez, and Bob Saget. After moving to Los Angeles, Dan won the LA Take Out Comedy Competition and was the runner-up in the San Francisco International Comedy Competition. Word spread and led to television appearances on Comedy Central, Star Search, Showtime, The Late Late Show, Comics Unleashed, and many more.

Bryan Kellen

Comedian Bryan Kellen is a dynamic performer known for his mix of storytelling, observational humor, and physical comedy, creating captivating shows. He regularly opens for George Lopez, who appreciates Kellen's ability to turn uncomfortable experiences into comedy.

Kellen quickly rose to fame, winning the Rocky Mountain Laff-Off in Salt Lake City two years after his debut. He also secured 2nd Place in the prestigious Seattle International Comedy Competition, and later earned the title of one of the “Top 100 Comedians in the Country” by ‘Entertainment Business Journal.’
