Charlie loves making people laugh—almost as much as he hates pickles. His misspent youth in a boy band gave way to a career in marketing, but he never lost his love for the stage. He’s delivered four TEDx talks, lit up conferences around the country with his humor and insight, and even snagged second place at the PowerPoint Karaoke World Championships. If there’s a mic and an audience, you can bet Charlie’s first in line to deliver a keynote, belt out a Disney Princess anthem, or crack a few jokes. Charlie’s stand-up is a wild ride of big dad energy, Quixotic rants, and giggle-fits about pop culture, parenting, professional life, and—of course—his nemesis: the unrequested pickle. Laugh with him, or laugh at him—he's happy either way. Charlie always delivers a good time. Notable appearances including Mark Ridley’s Comedy Castle, McCurdy’s Comedy Theatre, Laugh Boston, LA Comedy Club at The Strat in Vegas, Comedy at the Creek in Lansing, and One Night Stans. He’s competed in the World Series of Comedy and performed at Gilda’s LaughFest.

Heather VanGheluwe (pronunciation may vary) has been delighting audiences across Michigan with her “innocently naughty” stand-up. She has often been described as ‘quirky’ by folks that are too polite to call her weird. When she’s not on stage, you can find her headbanging to musical theatre, binge-ing sitcoms, or at home being an ok-ish wife and mom. Look for her on Instagram @heathervangiggles (that’s easier!) or at shows around Metro- Detroit.

Normally dressed in all black attire, Drew’s comedy is sure to brighten anyone’s day!

Brett Mercer has been performing comedy and producing shows in Detroit since 2014. He’s performed in bars, coffee shops, living rooms, recycling centers, and (occasionally) comedy clubs all over the country, wondering what “the deal” is with a variety of topics, large and small.

He has performed at Motor City Comedy Festival (Detroit), Whiskey Bear comedy festival (Columbus), and Let’s Fest (Fort Wayne) and has shared the stage with Paul F. Thompkins, Andy Kindler, Todd Barry, and Stavros Halkias.

Ed Konyha Ed has the unique perspective of a comic who lived a lot before getting into stand-up. With his silly, observational style he targets himself, everyone else and himself. Ed was a fixture in the Vancouver comedy scene for seven years and in addition to performing regularly at local clubs, MCing and opening for the likes of Eric Griffin and Jessica Michelle Singleton, he also produced many successful shows in the Vancouver area, including the now legendary JFL Northwest Award-winning Stand-Up & Deliver! Comedy Open Mic. Ed now resides in Windsor, Ontario and can also be seen performing in and around the Windsor & Detroit area.
