IAN HARVIE: Having toured the world over with Margaret Cho, Harvie turned into a cross-country headliner and groundbreaking transgender comedian. He has performed at the world’s most prestigious comedy festivals: JUST FOR LAUGHS in Australia and Canada, and the MELBOURNE INTERNATIONAL COMEDY FESTIVAL in Australia. Unafraid to joke about subjects no other comedian has ever touched, Ian’s unique act challenges the traditionally macho, sex-obsessed world of stand up in ways you won’t believe, proving that laughter cuts across all gender identities and ultimately unites us all. Ian made his acting debut as “Dale” in the critically acclaimed, Golden Globe and Emmy Award winning TV series TRANSPARENT on Amazon. Most recently, Harvie filmed his one-hour standup comedy special MAY THE BEST COCK WIN for SEESO (NBC’s digital network) and streams January 2017.
 
ALLISON GILL: Being voted San Diego’s funniest woman and famous comic not once but twice makes Allison a hot topic amongst the San Diego community. She performs regularly at major venues like The Improv, The American Comedy Company, the Laugh Factory and the Comedy Store to just name a few. In the world of comedy Allison has performed alongside the likes of Dane Cook, Doug Stanhope and the head writers of laughable shows like Tosh.O and Chelsea Lately.
 
JAYE MCBRIDE: Jaye McBride has performed stand-up all over the country, sharing the stage with stars like Aziz Ansari &amp; Jim Norton.

When not performing on-stage or on-screen Jaye writes “The Comedy Blog” for the Albany’s Times Union and speaks at colleges all across the country with her lecture about being transgender called ‘Trans 102: The Chamber of Secrets”  Having transitioned in 2007, Jaye is uniquely qualified to talk about awkward first dates, strained family relationships and self- acceptance.  Due to a death in the family, Ian Harvie will not be able to perform we will postpone this show.
