SANDY EHLERS (Co-Headliner)
Sandy Ehlers knows how to weave everyday life into side-splitting stand-up. A twelve-year comedy veteran, she’s commanded stages at New York’s top clubs — from Gotham and Broadway Comedy Club to The Comic Strip — delivering sets that are as big-hearted as they are hilarious.

Her style? Eclectic, eccentric, unfiltered — with a voice so distinct, an audience once dubbed her the female Frank Sinatra of comedy.

JODY SLOANE (Co-Headliner)
Growing up, Jody had a knack for finding humor in the darkest corners of life. Whether it was the absurdity of a government cheese sculpture or the quirks of her mother’s self-medicating with Winstons and Ring Dings, nothing was off-limits for her infectious laughter-inducing commentary. Her friends quickly learned that any situation could become a comedy goldmine with her around. Fast forward to mid-life, Sloane cut her entertainment teeth doing her sit-down schtick as a cheeky conductor on the Boston duck tours. Her duck tour experience was the perfect tee up to becoming a standup comedian. She's now a regular at esteemed comedy venues from New York to Maine and has been featured in several comedy festivals, including Laugh Your Asheville Off, Boston Comedy Festival, and The Women In Comedy Festival.
