Apple Brown Betty

Apple Brown Betty connects to audiences with the familiarity of your favorite aunt. Hailing from Richmond VA, her polished, southern style allows her to tackle taboo topics in a way that is accessible to all. Selected as a Rising Star of Comedy by Bob Sumner, legendary producer of Def Comedy Jam, ABB is blazing a trail up across the country. An evening with her is guaranteed to leave you laughing, and feeling a bit better about the world we live in.

Bill Monaghan

Hailing from the People’s Republic of Annapolis, Md., Bill Monaghan has been honing his comedic chops since 2006. He may possibly be the most immature mature person you’ll ever encounter. His absurd, one-liner style is “Rated R” due to strong language, adult situations, and brief nudity. You’ll be fine. Don’t be a prude.

Lafayette Wright’s obsessions with art and expression fuel who he is both onstage and off. He has spent close to a decade honing his skills on the DC comedy scene, and now has a razor sharp act and undeniable onstage likability. He was featured in an episode of Kevin Hart's “Hart of the City” on Comedy Central and recently filmed a set for Don't Tell Comedy that has garnered over 4 Million views across social media platforms. Lafayette won Comedy Kumite 11.1 (summer 2017) at the DC Improv, as well as Kumite 13.1 and 13.2 (winter 2018), Kumite 17.1 and 17.2 (fall 2018), and a Tournament of Champions (winter 2019).
