CARL YARD
(Co-Headliner)

Carl Yard is originally from the Caribbean island Barbados. Carl's comedy career started in the early 90s on the Boston Comedy scene. "My original plan when I first came to America was to get an education in computer science and return to Barbados." But that all changed when Carl walked into Stitches Comedy Club on Commonwealth Ave in Boston. That night Carl signed up, got on stage and rocked the house. "It was all nervous energy that night." "Next week I went back brimming with confidence and fell flat on my face."

Carl Yard is now one of the top comics touring the USA today. Carl Yard has been featured on HBO and was the opening act for The Aretha Franklin New England tour. Carl's high energy act snatches people out of there seats and brings them into his comedy world . Which he describes as comedy with a touch of spice. We dare you not to have a fun time with this gem of the Caribbean.


KAREN JAFFE
(Co-Headliner)

Karen has been making people laugh since the age of six, when she punched an actor from Sesame Street LIVE in a rather sensitive area in front of a theater full of people.  As an adult, she has found appreciative audiences in comedy clubs and independent shows all over the country, and she is a semi-finalist in the 2019 World Series of Comedy Festival.  Her podcast, "Everybody Dies," will debut later this year.  She has worked with such notable and varied comedians as Stewart Huff, Greg Hahn, Bobcat Goldthwait, and Mark Normand.
