Artie Januario (aka Artie J.) has spent 10 years living a double life as a pharmacist and one of Bostons premier comedians. He has been selected to perform at Denis Learys prestigious annual Comics Come Home concert, the longest running comedy benefit show in the United States, which has raised more than $4 million for the Cam Neely Foundation, which aids cancer patients and their families during treatment. Hes traveled the country, performing all over New England as well as in Las Vegas and Atlantic City, and is a favorite for fundraisers and corporate events. Among the acts hes worked with: Dom Irrera, Brian Regan, Jeff Dunham, and Lenny Clarke.

Dan Crohn's stories of family and friends have entertained audiences all over New England. A semifinalist in the Boston Comedy Festival and Laughing Skull Comedy Festival, he has performed with a number of well-known headliners -- among them Doug Stanhope, Jim Norton, and Pauly Shore -- and played shows all over the country. A former job of teaching 4th graders has provided him with endless amounts of material. Not bad for someone who wanted to be a comedian after stumbling upon his dad's Henny Youngman records at age 8.

Bill Simas takes passion to the next level with his story telling style, energy laced shows. A member of the Rhode Island Comedy Hall of Fame, he has worked in front of all types of crowds, tailoring his material to entertain rooms full of bikers, and rooms full of old ladies. He has worked at top clubs and casinos in Rhode Island and around New England, and gone on the road to the Catch a Rising Star in Reno, Nevada. Crowds relate to his funny and truthful stories on subjects from dating to marriage, parenting, divorced life, travel and weight gain.

Newcomer Karman Raye has impressed comedy audiences around Massachusetts and New Hampshire with funny observations on everyday life. He's won the Witch City Comedy Contest and North Shore Last Comic Standing. A veteran of the United States Air Force, Karman has worked with some of the top headliners in New England including Juston McKinney, Steve Sweeney, Dave Russo, Tony V. and Paul DAngelo.
