Comedian Vanessa Hollingshead
Vanessa's is the straight daughter of two drug-addicted, alcoholic, hippy parents. In fact her dad is the man who gave Timothy Leary his very first hit of LSD. Closer to Leary than he was to her, he'd say things like, "The three most important people in my life are 'me,' 'myself,' and 'I' -- setting the scene for some serious low self-esteem issues. But like the phoenix from the flames, Vanessa was able to rise up and turn all the wild characters from her life into comedy gold. A comic, natural story teller and accomplished actor, Vanessa has a unique repertoire of heart-felt, funny characterizations of all the people that cross her path, daily. Constantly writing new and original material, Vanessa is able to transcend a variety of audiences and always leaves them wanting more.
Having just taped her Showtime Special, Funny Women of a Certain Age, hosted by Fran Drescher, she also is on the critically acclaimed WTF Podcast hosted by Marc Maron. She's had a special on Comedy Central, performed for the troops in the Middle East, and opened for Bill Maher Richard Pryor, Chris Rock, Jim Norton, Jerry Seinfeld, Ray Romano, amongst others.
Vanessa is currently writing a TV series, based on the true story of her father, called, THE DIVINE RASCAL.
Comedian Donna Lee
Donna Lee blends her Thai and Irish heritage into a unique comedic voice, bringing audiences together through hilarious, heartfelt stories about family and cultural identity. Donna burst onto the comedy scene in 2006 as a finalist on Nick@Nite’s Search for the Funniest Mom in America, hosted by Katey Sagal. In 2012, she stepped away from stand-up comedy to focus on raising her family and advancing professionally.
Donna made her triumphant return to comedy full-time in May 2024. She's currently touring the nation’s top comedy clubs and is a proud member of the national stand-up group Moms Unhinged. She was also recently on Kill Tony (episodes 722 & 738) where, after her interviews and performances, she advanced with an exclusive invitation to the coveted “Secret Show” both times.
Donna is also the host and producer of three entertaining podcasts: The Armor Men’s Health Show, The Ryan Wayne Salon Podcast and The Victory Medical Podcast. She recently co-authored the book Building Wealth, Building Legacy with original Shark Tank judge Kevin Harrington, contributing a powerful chapter about how humor helped her survive—and thrive.
Comedian Amy Dingler
This former rodeo clown, bullfighter, and stunt person decided to move on to something riskier and switched to stand-up comedy. Amy is funny, likable, and edgy all at the same time
