Janae Burris  A “Pro” on the coveted regulars list at Comedy Works in Denver as well as the 2016 Comedy Works New Faces Champ and 2019 Just For Laughs New Face.

Merit Kahn is a producer, playwright, and comedian, taking her one-woman inspiring comedy show on the road to dazzle audiences from coast to coast—whether in packed theaters or at lively nonprofit fundraisers. As a professional keynote speaker and conference emcee, she expertly weaves business lessons into her humor-filled, interactive sessions, delighting sales and leadership audiences. Embracing her motto, ‘Tragedy plus time equals comedy, but who says it has to take a long time?’ she proves that a quick wit can make anything funny, fast.

Stacy Pedersen has almost died several times, was raised by hippie parents, and has accidentally blown the button off her pants on more than one occasion. She recently won first place out of comedians in “Colorado’s Got Talent” and appears in many commercials. She is a national speaker and likes to speak to organizations of all types for the simple fact she gets to stay in hotels, and hotels have housekeepers.

She also suffers from terrible stage fright.
