Naomi Karavini Headliner
Featured on Comedy Central and NPR, NYC comedian and writer Naomi Karavani brings her razor-sharp, darkly funny stand-up to Thornton this February. Voted by Time Out Magazine as one of “NYC’s Best Comedy Shows” for her work on Bitches Brew, Naomi is known for her sardonic wit and captivating storytelling. She’s a regular performer at New York’s legendary Comedy Cellar, has opened for Dusty Slay and Jim Norton, and tours nationally, headlining top clubs and festivals across the U.S., including the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. Her debut album Firecracker (Comedy Records) can be heard on SiriusXM, and her hour-long solo show Dominant earned rave reviews at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. She was a writer and cast member of the political satire show Redacted Tonight for five years, and has performed at top festivals across the U.S. and abroad, including NY Comedy Fest, Brooklyn Comedy Fest, Limestone, Cape Fear, Women in Comedy, Bentzen Ball, and more. After putting out her 2024 special, Naomi tackles some darkly twisted subjects in her current touring hour — from wild animals to medieval kings, absurd family moments to the tangled mess of love and dating. It’s smart. It’s subversive. And it’s hilarious from start to finish.

See profile Pat Treuer
Pat Treuer is a comedian, author, producer, and corporate mundane life escapee. Pat was born and raised in Colorado, skied as soon as he could walk, and starting making people laugh as soon as he could talk. He lived the American Dream in the corporate world until he realized it was a nightmare, so he packed his bags and headed to Chicago to attend Second City and be a standup comedian.
During the pandemie, he founded Treuer Laughs® which made over a million dollars producing over 400 comedy shows on zoom and was one of the only providers of work to comedians during that weird time. Pat put all of the profits into producing Of The Comics, a standup comedy series on YouTube thinking it would be the next BIG thing! It was not. Of The Comics made zero cents and sent Pat into a deep hole, so he wrote a book to get out! WIll I Hate Myself? is Pat Treuer's raw, witty memoir about self-acceptance through creation (available on Amazon).
You may have seen Pat on his appearance as a contestant on the TV Game Show The $100,000 Pyramid or you might have seen his self-produced comedy special Non-Practicing Straight White Male, available on YouTube now. When not performing nightly in Denver, Pat can be found in the mountains or writing his next book This is The End. This is The Beginning. Follow Pat on instagram and YouTube at @realfunnypat.

Raised by nature, living in a van, and armed with narcolepsy, Cole spends his time involuntarily collecting bizarre experiences and wondering, "If I dreamed that, why is there evidence?" Somehow, this became a comedy career.
