Sarcastic, witty and just plain funny, Canadian stand-up comic Ian Bagg is known for his formidable ability to work a crowd. From Canada he made his way to NYC where his stand-up quickly landed him gigs on "Late Night with Conan O'Brien, The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson" and "Tonight Show with Jay Leno." He's also been seen in film and television from Tim Robbins' "The Cradle Will Rock" to appearances on the History Channel, the Food Network and the Biography Channel. His stand-up special "Getting to F**king Know You" recently debuted on Showtime and the title may clue you in on Bagg's style. He's got a razor-sharp tongue and extremely quick wit. His off-the-cuff style of comedy is crafted on stage as he works the crowd in a way that few comics can pull off. [less-]

Known for his animated stage presence, Bruce Jingles is a regular on stages throughout L.A. and surrounding areas. Jingles credits his comedic style to a youth spent in suburban Southern California.

He's performed alongside such big comedy names as Jeff Garcia, Carlos Mencia, Chris Tucker, Gabriel Iglesias, Damon Wayans, Dave Chappelle and Dane Cook, and his TV credits include two Showtime comedy specials, including "Jeff Garcia's Low Budget Madness".

If the little angel and devil on your shoulders ever hung out without you, became best friends and started their own podcast, it would probably sound a lot like "Mormon and the Meth-Head". The angel is Aaron Woodall, a former Mormon missionary turned comedian. The devil is Jessa Reed, a former teen mom turned meth addict turned comedian. Together they offer up their polar opposite perspectives on sex, drugs and love for one hilariously mismatched tag team. Aaron was named one of Team Coco's Top Ten Comics To Watch, and his jokes have been seen on FOX, Hulu and more. Jessa has brought her raunchy honesty to clubs and festivals around the country, and she made her television debut last year on Comedy Central's "This Is Not Happening."

Brooks Wheelan knows what it's like to live the ups and downs of the comedy world. After snagging a spot on Comedy Central's "10 Comics to Watch" list in 2012 and becoming a cast member of "Saturday Night Live" in 2013, he saw the other side when he was fired from "SNL".
