Matt Ward @ SPiFFY SQUiRREL Comedy Show (The East Room) 9/7/2014
Matt Ward is a father, comedian, comedy show producer, writer and musician. He is an anomaly among his pears focusing on balancing the most important parts of his life. To Ward, balance is the meaning of life. “As a lover of comedy I work hard to balance not only being a great comedy producer, but a strong comedian as well. I want to be great on both sides of the mic.” Ward says. Others marvel at the amount of projects Ward is involved in.
Ward appeared on Doug Stanhope’s CD “From Across the Street”. By appeared we mean he introduced Doug on the CD and then walked to the back and sat down. He also has shared the stage with comedians Shane Mauss, Nikki Glaser, Myq Kaplan and Kyle Kinane. He has performed at Zanies in Nashville and the Improv in Atlanta. He has also appeared at the Laughing Skull Comedy Festival, Laugh Your Asheville Off and the Memphis Comedy Festival. Matt was also retweeted once by Jose Canseco. Ward has a CD under his belt releasing his debut ‘Glamorous‘ independently in the Fall of 2011.

The NashvilleStandUp Showcase at Zanies Nashville 9/4/2014
Chad Riden with Andy Boyle (Chicago), Rob Haynes, Mark Anundson, Meredith Fitzsimons, Gary Fletcher, Josh Inocalla & Ben Sawyer. $10 at the door or $5 now at this special link: http://torch.ly/dMjibgpdDz
CHAD RIDEN’s comedy is about his chaotic reality. His last few years have featured bankruptcy, divorce, foreclosure and the best shows of his life. Riden tells self-incriminating stories of being a “recidivist vigilante instrument of karma” that embarrass his daughter and make everybody else shake their heads and laugh and/or contact the authorities.
ANDY BOYLE, a Chicago-area stand-up comedian, writer and web developer, has been delighting audiences across America with his jokes and giggly life stories for years. In 2013, Andy took his stand-up on the road throughout seven states, including a stop at Minnesota’s 10,000 Laughs Festival. In 2014 he was a runner-up in the Chicago satellite round of the Great American Comedy Festival and was selected for the 2014 Orlando Indie Comedy Festival. Andy’s writing has appeared in The St. Petersburg Times, The Boston Globe, The Chicago Tribune and other outlets that inspired Atari’s hit 1984 arcade game “Paperboy.” And once Andy made a website where he got drunk and raised almost $3,400 for a pet charity at drunkforpets.com. Andy’s mom says you won’t regret following him on Twitter at @andymboyle.

Raanan Hershberg @ SPiFFY SQUiRREL Comedy Show (The East Room) 8/31/2014
Crying Behind 3D Glasses: When Raanan Hershberg was 8 years old he saw Jurassic Park in theaters, and it was the greatest experience of his life. So twenty years later, when Jurassic Park 3D came out, he was very eager to relive that experience; in fact, he was desperate to, because let’s just say, in those twenty years, his life had not advanced in a manner he could reflect on positively: He was broke, living at his parent’s house, and a girl he had been sleeping with was pregnant.. A dark and funny look on how the movies and books and T.V. you loved as a child don’t always hold up, no matter how much you desperately need them to.
Raanan Hershberg tours clubs and colleges all across the country, cutting his teeth in some of the top rooms in the nation. He was selected for this year’s Laugh Your Asheville Off Comedy Festival, and was a finalist in the 2012 Funniest Person in Cincinnati Competition. Besides performing stand up, he has also written two one man shows (“Broke, High, and Horny” and “Crying Behind 3D Glasses”). He is also the host and founder of The Bard’s Town Theater Roasts and The Young, Dumb, and Full of Comedy Show- a bi-weekly showcase featuring some of the best young, working comedians in the Midwest.

Dusty Slay @ SPiFFY SQUiRREL Comedy Show (The East Room) 8/24/2014
Nashville based comedian Dusty Slay will be hosting a party for his debut album release “Making That Fudge” on Sunday, August 24 at the East Room in East Nashville.
“Making That Fudge” contains 55 minutes of cleverly crafted, sharply delivered comedy featuring Slay’s unique view on ordinary topics.
Slay was born in Alabama, splitting his time living with his mom in a trailer park and his dad on a farm. One would say he was born to be either a comedian or a meth addict. Slay then moved to Charleston, SC in 2004 and began performing improvised and stand up comedy. He’s been performing all over the country ever since. Slay recently relocated to Nashville, where he can be seen performing stand up all over town.
The album release party will feature performances from some of Nashville’s favorite comedians, and copies of “Making That Fudge” will be available for purchase.
“I wasn’t born with a silver spoon in my mouth. I was born with a plastic spoon in my mouth, and I was lucky to have that spoon.” –Dusty Slay
