It's Melanie Hearn!!
Melanie Hearn is a native of Detroit and one of the most unique voices in stand-up comedy. You may have seen her as a cohost on WDIV Channel 4 “Live in The D.” From her unabashed style to her infectious energy, she always leaves audiences and fans wanting more. She began her career in Detroit and quickly became a favorite at Mark Ridley‘s Comedy Castle. Since then, she has opened up for Maria Bamford, Mark Curry, and Preacher Lawson (just to name a few). She has been privileged to perform at such world-famous venues as the Hollywood Improv, the world-famous Comedy Store, and recently headlined Mark Ridley’s Comedy Castle! You can't miss Melanie, she's one of Metro Detroit's BEST!
FRIDAY 5/17 OPENER: Meredith Dietz (she/they)

As a standup, she produces a popular open mic and show in the Lower East Side. She’s also managed to scrape together around 64k followers across Twitter, TikTok, and IG.
