"Matt McClowry is a tall, clean-cut comedian out of Detroit. His standup is smart and analytical, full of unexpected leaps of logic, and delivered in a deep, distinctive deadpan. He's funny and engaging." - Brett Hamil, CityArts
Matt McClowry: "With a voice for radio and movie star looks, McClowry can be intense and a bit intimidating in person. But on stage, he becomes your smart-mouthed brother who dares you not to laugh, and you want to get to know him better signs of a real star." With his towering frame, faintly sinister good looks, and a mild case of Asperger syndrome, Matt McClowry does not easily fit the stereotypical image of a stand-up comic. But after a few moments of watching him on stage, it's clear he's a natural; with a laconic yet still faintly annoyed delivery underscoring sharply observed gripes about a host of modern absurdities. Originally from Detroit where he was voted "Best Local Comic" by the Metro Times, Matt now making his home in New York City, and has been receiving national exposure, touring coast to coast as well as posting appearances at many prestigious comedy festivals, like the Oddball Comedy & Curiosity Festival with Dave Chappelle, and racking up contest victories at the Laughing Skull Comedy Festival in Atlanta as well the World Series of Comedy in Las Vegas. He has made several appearances on the Fox Television series "Laughs" and his album, "Uncomfortable," can be heard on Pandora, Spotify, and SiriusXM.
Brad Wenzel is most known for his offbeat, one-liner comedy. His youth, unique writing style, and dry delivery set him apart from many up-and-coming comedians. Audience members have told him he sounds like Bill Clinton, Jimmy Stewart, and JFK. In short, he sounds weird. Brad's act rapidly jumps back and fourth between everyday observations and surrealism. By drawing material from both his life and his imagination, he comes off as a relatable weirdo. KnightArts.com described his act as, "not so much clean in content as very wholesome in its delivery." Currently based out of Michigan, Brad began doing stand up at the age of 17. After being successful in a number of local contests, he got his first taste of national success in 2012, when he was selected by Ricky Gervais as a finalist in the Conan Jusy Sayin' Contest. In 2013, Brad made his festival debut at Laughfest in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Later that year, he took first place at The Cleveland Comedy Festival. In 2014, Brad performed at the Limestone Comedy Festival, was a finalist in Funny or Die's "Road 2 Oddball", and was selected to be one of the "New Faces" at the prestigious Just For Laughs Festival in Montreal. This year, he has performed at Riot LA, returned to the Limestone Comedy Festival, and won first place at the Great American Comedy Festival which is held in Norfolk, Nebraska to honor Johnny Carson. Brad has opened for: Brian Posehn, Kathleen Madigan, Gilbert Gottfried, Pete Holmes, Jerrod Carmichael, and Patton Oswalt.
