CARLY KANE: Carly Kane is a writer, producer, and stand-up in Chicago, IL. She is a producer of The Blackout Diaries, a critically acclaimed story-telling show and Afterthoughts a stand-up comedy roast show. She was a recent participant in NBC’s Breakout Comedy Festival and is a regular at The Laugh Factory and The Comedy Bar in Chicago. She has been published in The Pink Canoe and Comedy of Chicago. You can find her telling jokes throughout the city in clubs, bars, basements, and on the phone with her Mom.

AARON PUTNAM: Aaron Putnam got his start in comedy while taking classes at UCB NY. He is also a graduate of David Mamet Atlantic Theatre Company’s two year program. He found out quickly that the only drama he likes is his own, so he quit doing plays and auditioning and dove fully into improv. This is where he learned his most important lesson to this day, and that is: to BOMB! NIGHT AFTER NIGHT! Being the real ass dude he is, he thought it was rude to take all those innocent improvisers with him, so he started doing open mic stand up all over NYC. That was 2011 — flash forward to today: Aaron Putnam is a Chicago-based comic and the founder of Stand Up in Recovery where comics put on shows at recovery centers across the country. He has opened for Doug Stanhope, Erik Griffin, Robert Kelly, and many more. At this point you might be saying “I wanna know about the DRAMA, the RECOVERY, etc.” The truth is on paper and it’s downright scary, but when told on stage, through a mic — hilarious.

Aaron has performed at Gotham Comedy Club, The World Famous Comedy Store in LA.…and a Regular at Laugh Factory Chicago
