Colin Kane
Don't be fooled by his boyish looks; Colin is a disarmingly honest comedian who believes in telling it like it is. He pulls no punches and is lightning-fast on his feet. When he's not ripping up colleges and clubs across the country, you can catch Colin demolishing crowds all over New York with his raw, hilarious, anything-goes humor.
He can be seen at the city's top clubs, including Carolines on Broadway, Comix, and Stand-Up NY. And he now hosts two weekly shows of his own.
"The Colin Kane Event," every Tuesday night at Carolines, is a unique mix of stand-up, sketch comedy, video clips, and a live DJ, featuring well-known pros as well as the city's funniest up-and-comers. And "The Donkey Punch," every Saturday night at Village Lantern Comedy in the heart of Greenwich Village, draws capacity crowds to see some of the hottest new comics on the scene — as well as some of the biggest names, who regularly drop in to work on new material.
If you don't know Colin yet, you will soon. He won Howard Stern's "Kill or Be Killed" comedy competition and was a semifinalist in the New York Comedy Festival's "Funniest Stand-Up" contest. The famously straight-talking Cringehumor.net calls him "one of the most focused and intense performers Cringe Humor has ever met."
When you go to see Colin Kane, be prepared for anything. You won’t know what hit you, but you’ll want to come back for more.

Jenn Kwok
She's witty, she's quirky, and she sings! Comedian Jen Kwok ditched corporate America for the stage three years ago. Now the hilarious ukulele-toting Californian is rocking comedy clubs and basement burlesque shows all over New York City. That’s right, she is a badass.
Jen’s badassness has led her to become a top-11 finalist in NBC Stand Up for Diversity, a nationwide search for the country's top comedians. This stereotype-smashing girl crushes audiences with her idiosyncratic humor, and her melodious voice has charmed entire comedy club staffs to stop working and listen up to her awesomeness. Among Jen’s other accomplishments, she was a semi-finalist in New York Comedy Festival’s first ever New York’s Funniest Stand-Up competition, and has a cult following on the international ukulele scene. That’s right, there is a ukulele scene.
Jen has trained at the Upright Citizens Brigade Theatre. and The PIT in New York, so she knows how to make herself look like an idiot for the amusement of others and herself. Jen is also one-half of the ridiculously hard-rocking musical comedy duo JENERIC.
Matty Goldberg
One would find that I'm a simple man closely knit to my family. I was born in Woodstock, New York to hippies who provided me a loving warm home, Bob Dylan records, and the words of Lenny Bruce. They became powerful role models for me. In fact, if I hadn't written a thesis on the anti-authority views of Lenny Bruce, I would have failed high school English. But, my life took a sudden turn after High School. My hand would go numb, and I discovered that I had a brain tumor. The process of recovery was painful and difficult, but I pulled through, resolving to be a strong human being and later a hard-working comedian. Upon graduation from SUNY PURCHASE (major in Sociology-fastest way out of school) I befriended a group of comedians. Instantly, I was enraptured by the power of stand-up comedy, or more likely the act of standing in front of strangers and baring my soul. I had found my calling. Today, I have conquered all odds to become an engaging stage presence. The love of jokes seems to come naturally, as though it's in my blood. In my own words, "Being in comedy is tough because there isn't much money in it, but if I never make a dime, I will still perform with all my heart."
