Izzy Salhani is a standup comic who packs a small punch. Their dry wit and quick punchlines explore the American psyche. Izzy cut their teeth in the Belly Room of The Comedy Store in West Hollywood, CA then moved to the midwest to pursue improv because they have a tendency to do things backwards. Now a graduate of the Second City Sketch Conservatory and a semi-finalist at Louisiana's Prize Fest (2022), Izzy tours their standup routine nationally. Based in Chicago, they co-produce Comedians That Are Gay at the Lincoln Lodge and are an ensemble member of SWIPED! Improv currently in its fourth season at The Annoyance Theatre. In their spare time they enjoy playing pool, badly. Izzy blames the pool sticks, they're too tall.

KJ Whitehead
Kujichagulia Juniper Whitehead, or just KJ, is Chicago's Queen of Radical Comedy. Unapologetically black, queer and trans! For over a decade, she's shared her experiences through observation and storytelling, but also blunt and vulnerable honesty about herself and how she sees the world. A graduate from Columbia College Chicago with a BA in Comedy Writing & Performance, Comedy Studies Alumni and someone who can occasionally be found convincing folks that Tucker Carlson is a soggy waffle and that Mitch McConnell swallowed his own neck!
