Tom Wisdom is a standup comic and former scientist, still trying to live up to his alleged potential. He grew up all over the place but is currently based in Chicago, where he has been involved with local comedic cabals The Late Late Breakfast and The Whiskey Journal. Chicago is easily his favorite city, but he is currently on tour through the south, because February is Chicago’s least favorite month. He defaults to guarded enthusiasm, has been called ‘a real sweetheart’ in public on multiple occasions, and is available for odd jobs.

“I’m a weird guy but I come by it honestly, because my Mom is a weird guy too.” Since 2006, Sean Parrott has been bringing his charismatic stage presence and a unique point of view to comedy clubs and bars all over the Southeast. Brought up on Bugs Bunny and Monty Python, Sean is an observational absurdist with a keen eye for finding the humor in everyday life; our language, our friends and our jobs (What is the DEAL with those?) He has acted in award winning animated films (“Pound Dogs” has aired on the Independent Film Channel), appeared at the Laugh Your Asheville Off Comedy Festival, and was picked as one of Nashville’s Funniest Comics by Reader’s Digest. Energy, intelligence, and wry wit make Sean Parrott one of the best young comics working today.
Parrott is also a fantastic musician. His most recent album, “THE DTH OVE LOF” spawned a video for his single, “Summertime (Featuring Swagnum P.I.)” which is one of the greatest things on the internet. Stop everything and watch the video right now:
Here’s video of Sean’s standup from Corporate Juggernaut’s LINEUP #2 show:

Darik Santos was born in Providence, Rhode Island and has been performing his own brand of stand-up “comedy” for a little over three years. One-liners and an awkward personality make up this enigma wrapped in a conundrum. Darik has performed all over the east coast including Massachusetts, Maine, Connecticut and New Hampshire. Darik also performed on the street for two months in Antwerp, Belgium (saving up for ice cream money). He’s never won any contests or awards and probably never will, but his jokes are hugs for your ears and that is a magical award within itself!
Darik was featured on Season 9 of America’s Got Talent. He also performed 90 Seconds at Radio City Music Hall once.

Mat Alano-Martin comes to comedy from the world of rock and roll, where he spent 10 years touring North America as an Americana singer-songwriter, opening for a who’s who of indie rockers and roots revivalists and occasionally headlining his own smaller, less well attended shows. With a comedic style that bridges the alternative sensibilities of his indie-rock background with the more mainstream views of his rural and blue collar youth, Alano-Martin has appeared at comedy clubs, theaters, punk rock dives, redneck roadhouses, casinos, colleges, living rooms and everywhere in between.
Alano-Martin has appeared on the nationally syndicated The Bob & Tom Show, Laughs on Fox TV and at several festivals.
