About the Comics
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.

Garrett Harvest is a comic out of Baltimore City who was born and raised in New Jersey. His unique life growing up in the mean streets of the suburbs gave him the ability to pick apart the simplest things that everyday people often overlook. Garrett Harvest is a sign that we are not all doomed.
After going viral via Facebook from his hilarious and relatable military skits, Chalee Jr began performing standup comedy in 2016. A native of Jacksonville, Fla., he quickly made a name for himself on the DMV comedy scene and across the U.S., all the while still serving as active duty Navy. He has become one of the top ambassadors for the United States Navy, promoting that he is more than just a servicemember.
Pearl Rose is a stand-up comedian, writer and performer originally from Minnesota. She has performed up and down the East Coast at venues such as the DC Improv and the Kennedy Center and has opened for Kelsey Cook, Jon Dore and Phil Hanley. She has been included in DC’s District of Laughs Festival and Limestone Comedy Festival, and was featured as “Best of the Fest” at 10K Laughs in 2023. Pearl has been featured in the Washington Post’s The Lily and was named one of Racket MN’s “Comics to Watch 2023”.

Peter Sullivan is a comedian and writer who got his start 9 years ago at the age of 17 in Washington, D.C. His combination of playful observations and dry delivery has allowed him to perform at venues such as The Laugh Factory in Chicago and Broadway Comedy Club in New York. He has opened for headliners including Kevin Farley, Tony Woods, and many more. Peter has also featured and headlined shows across the country and has written for national touring comics, including Howie Mandel for Just for Laughs in 2018.
Ross Benoit is a Massachusetts native who moved to Northern Virginia at age 6. Eighteen years later, he started doing stand-up comedy. You can see him hosting shows and performing at venues all around the DMV. Ross won Comedy Kumite 8.2 (winter 2017) at the DC Improv, as well as Kumite 21.2 (summer 2019).
