Alex Barbag

Originally from Boca Raton, Alex Barbag is a Washington, D.C. based comedian who was described in the Washington Post as an “odd bird”. Initially, he took offense to that but now thinks it describes him well as he has an offbeat, deceptive stage presence that gets the whole room laughing.

Denise Taylor knew she wanted to be a comedian ever since her fourth grade teacher called her a "ringleader" for distracting the class with jokes. At 26, Denise's sharp material and commanding stage presence has led her to open for several national touring headliners, including Judah Friedlander, Chris Gethard, Kamau Bell, Moshe Kasher, and many more. Denise is currently a contributor for The Onion. She also appears frequently on two of DC's most popular comedy shows: Fale University and The Time Machine Roast.
