Keith Bergman, Sam Rager, Omar Nava, Sammy Azner, Kayla Evans, Aaron Weber & Chad Riden at Spiffy Squirrel comedy show at The East Room 10/9/2016.
KEITH BERGMAN has been swilling coffee and driving around the country telling stories for six years. Before that, he spent a long time playing drums in rock and roll bands. He hasn’t bought any new clothes since then. His comedy veers from smart, sardonic observations to ridiculous personal tales of keeping it together in a world gone weird. He’s performed from LA to New York, in A-list comedy clubs and small town dive bars, and when he’s not at home being an adequate father and husband, he’s on the road seeking the next adventure and the perfect Reuben.
SAM RAGER, often described as charmingly dark, has been honing her comedy across the Midwest since 2012. Not one to shy away from touchy subjects, she is able to derive hilarious commentary from her personal sob stories, and helps audiences feel comfortable enough to unpack the skeletons in their own closets. When she isn’t slinging jokes on stage she helps produce Detroit Comedy Underground.
OMAR NAVA is a stand-up comedian, writer & performer based in Los Angeles. A graduate of Rice University, he realized shortly after graduating that there are no refunds for college. He moved to LA in 2010 to pursue a career in comedy and quickly became a local favorite performing regularly at many clubs across the city including The Improv, The Comedy Store & The Ice House.
Omar’s comedy is a mix of personal stories and social commentary based on his unique life experiences conveyed with a likability and wit that audiences can’t help but fall in love with. He’s performed in a number of festivals including The Coup de Comedy Festival in Irvine, CA, The Eagle Rock Comedy Festival in Eagle Rock, CA, The 10,000 Laughs Comedy Festival in Minneapolis, MN, The Dallas Comedy Festival, & RIOT LA.
In addition to stand-up, Omar also writes, directs, & produces a YouTube web series with fellow comedians called GRINGO and has guest-starred on other web series such as Creepy Caress and My Super Over Active Imagination.

Jay Whitecotton at SPiFFY SQUiRREL Comedy Show at The East Room 9/25/2016.
Jay Whitecotton is the product of a clinically diagnosed schizophrenic family of drug addicted Star Trek nerds, who would rage tweak all night while playing Dungeons and Dragons. Somehow this was not a setback. He’s performed at Funny or Die’s Oddball Festival, Las Vegas Punk Rock and Bowling Festival, Moontower Comedy Fest, and more. In 2016 his debut album hit #1 on iTunes comedy and he taped for FOX and Hulu.

Carlos Valencia at Spiffy Squirrel Comedy Show at The East Room 9/18/2016.
“A gorgeous level of hilarious wrong…” -Patton Oswalt
Sharp-tongued and hilarious. Intelligent and profane. Silly and provocative. Honest and off-kilter. Carlos Valencia has been described as a comedy insurgent intent on subverting PC oversensitivities and exposing cultural hypocrisies with an arsenal of unapologetic observations and laugh-out-loud irreverence.
Through years of honing his craft in comedy clubs, colleges, theaters, casinos, boats, dive bars, coffee shops, diners, prisons, military bases, churches, sex conventions, bowling centers, back alleys, airplane hangars, dance halls, redneck pubs, gay bars, jazz venues, punk rock clubs, hip-hop joints and heavy metal dives in over 30 states from Miami to Seattle and almost everywhere in between, Carlos Valencia has built an underground following nationwide and earned the respect of both new and veteran comics alike – including the recognition of underground comedy legend Doug Stanhope who tapped him to be his opening act during Stanhope’s Big Stink Comedy Tour.
If you enjoy social commentary that straddles the edges of darkness yet doesn’t take itself too seriously and is never above embracing the absurdity of the human condition (poop jokes), Carlos Valencia might be the comic you’ve been waiting for.
