Featuring Jason Cordova, Charles Engle, and Colin Armstrong <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x8JLgrK922k">Jason Cordova</a> is a Boston-based stand-up comic whose comedy blends sharp observation, personal storytelling, and social commentary with a relaxed, conversational delivery. A seasoned performer with a theater-tested presence, he has opened for nationally touring headliners including Roy Wood Jr., Sam Jay, and DeRay Davis, consistently earning strong crowd response in large-room settings. His material reflects a clear-eyed take on the current state of the world — thoughtful without being preachy, personal without losing scope — capturing the absurdity, frustration, and humor of living through a moment that feels increasingly off the rails. He has released a stand-up special with Don’t Tell Comedy and appeared on HBO Max’s Pause with Sam Jay. He is currently touring a theater-ready hour and expanding his national reach through select festivals and headlining dates. Originally from Arizona, <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3dsAZHcW1EQ">Charles Engle</a>'s comedy blends personal vulnerability with the absurdity of everyday life, delivering sharp observations with an honest and self-aware style.

Beyond festivals, Charles has toured internationally with Tours for the Troops, performing for U.S. service members stationed overseas. He also tours with nationally touring comedians including Preacher Lawson, Jessie Johnson, and Shapel Lacey. In addition to performing on stages across the country, Charles has gained traction online with viral comedy videos on Instagram, continuing to build a growing audience both on stage and across social media. <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XOaNiRfmIdI">Colin Armstrong</a> is a stand-up comedian born and raised in New Jersey. You might have heard his comedy on SiriusXM Radio, recognized him from his viral comedy videos, or seen him headlining clubs across the country. A fixture of New Jersey’s comedy scene, Colin is a regular at every major club in the state and has toured with comics like Chris Gethard, Rachel Feinstein, and Ben Bailey (Cash Cab). He was the winner of the 2024 Jersey Shore Top Comic Competition, placed Top 8 at The Riot Comedy Festival, and was featured as an Emerging Artist at the prestigious SF Sketchfest—all these accomplishments have really gotten to his head.
