Steve Mittleman was launched when he won The Big Laff-Off on SHOWTIME! Steve is one of the rare comedians that appeared on The Tonight Show with both Johnny Carson and Jay Leno. He has also appeared on David Letterman, HBO, COMEDY CENTRAL and many more. He has worked with Leno, Seinfeld, Ray Romano... and many more.
Nathan Habib brings a friendly personality on stage while delivering a confidently vulnerable attitude, quick banter, and tightly written bits. He's based in New York City where he quickly gained the respect of his peers resulting in regularly performing at the New York Comedy Club, Carolines on Broadway, and other established venues. During the pandemic, Nathan has been co-producing a widely popular comedy show at a park in Brooklyn called Comedy at Cooper. His unique perspective on the most ordinary situations elicits laughter and is appreciated by a diverse audience. You may have caught Nathan in the 2019 at Kung Pao Kosher Comedy in San Francisco.
Emily Van Dyke, originally from the Midwest, loves pools and telling inappropriate stories at baby showers. Emily has opened for Colin Quinn and Judah Friedlander, she has performed in SF Sketchfest, and she's a local favorite in the San Francisco Bay Area.
Arline Geduldig, mother of San Francisco comedian Lisa Geduldig, is a Florida-based budding stand up comedian who took to the (virtual) stage for the first time in July on her daughter’s Zoom comedy show, Lockdown Comedy. Arline grew up in Brooklyn, raised her kids on Long Island, and retired to Florida, as is Jewish law. She offers her keen observations on aging, hearing aids, and hot young firemen and reminisces about her first kiss. Arline, who just turned 90 years young, has always been funny, and it was time for her to take the stage.
Lisa Geduldig is a San Francisco-based comedian and comedy producer who is most known for her annual comedy tradition Kung Pao Kosher Comedy™ — Jewish comedy on Christmas in a Chinese Restaurant, which celebrated its 28th year in December (albeit this year in Cyberspace). Before the pandemic, Lisa had been running a monthly decade-long comedy show at El Rio in San Francisco where her comedy career began 30 years ago. Lisa also does freelance arts PR in both English and Spanish…again when there’s not a pandemic. Media Coverage:
