Aaron Richter did his first stand-up set in Guatemala, like most comedians. He picked it up again when he got to Chicago and is now in West Lebanon, N.H. He runs a pair of open mics and produces shows at Bright Side Brewing in West Lebanon. He's also a music director and an organist at his church. And he might be a future TV producer. We'll see.

Cat Mattis started doing stand-up in September of 2022 while working on a Master's degree at SUNY Brockport. It's definitely a unique way to stand out in the Buffalo comedy scene. She got her start in Rochester, but moved northwest at the end of 2025. She worked for Audacy radio while in college and launched the Sarcasm Society podcast in January and is working her way through the Western New York scene. Give it a listen.

Nicky D is a very funny comedian in Cleveland. Despite the crippling anxiety, he's been doing stand-up for 13 years and is working himself all across the northern part of the country. He began his career in Chicago and considers himself, in hindsight, the worst comedian there for a few years. But with the help of some friends and a regular show, he began to pull himself out of it and get in position to chase a dream. He's got a wife and a daughter, too, so things are going quite well for him.
