The Comics

Kelly MacFarland has an extensive resume including comedy clubs, theaters, colleges and television appearances
including Comedy Central, Today Show and Cartoon Network. In 2010, Kelly was voted Best of the Fest at the
Aspen Rooftop Comedy Festival. Kelly captivates the crowd with her charm and non-stop energy. Her playful point
of view makes her irresistible. Kelly is a must see! www.kellymacfarland.com

Sean Sullivan has appeared on Comedy Central’s Live at Gotham and will be competing in the Great American Comedy Festival in Norfolk, Nebraska in June. He is undoubtedly the greatest living comedian under the age of thirty and also over the age of twenty-six and under twenty-eight born in June. His cock is also impressively average.

Josh Gondelman is the winner of the 2010 Laughing Skull Comedy Festival. He is generally very pleasant and well-mannered.

Matt D. was voted best Boston Comedian by the Boston Phoenix in 2011. The booker of the David Letterman show hand picked Matt to be one of twenty comics to compete in the 2011 Johnny Carson Great American Comedy Festival. You can hear his jokes on XM Sirius satellite radio, NBC, or via echo if he performs near a canyon or cave. www.simplymattd.com

Andrea Henry is like a Long Island ice tea. Sure, she may look innocuous, but her jokes will tear your face off like a concoction of vodka, gin, rum, and tequila. Andrea Henry’s credits include: Last Comic Standing- NYC Showcase, Nickelodeon’s Search for America’s Funniest Mom, Comedy Central’s Open Mic Fight, Comic in Residence at The Comedy Studio, Yuk Yuk’s Great Canadian Laugh Off, Butterfinger Stand Up Show Down Comedy Finalist (she won a year’s supply of Butterfingers).

Gary Petersen is without a doubt one of the rising stars of Boston comedy. His unique brand of comedy draws in crowds, guiding them through the ridiculousness of life, highlighting the humor in ordinary situations and imagining even funnier ones.

Tim Vargulish has been doing comedy since 2006 all over the New England area. His quirky style and nerdy sense of humor has made him a favorite of comedy fans all over. Tim writes for www.unscenecomedy.com

The Bands

The Byrdfeeders are four guys from various bands around town who really dig
the music of the early (1965-67) Byrds. After wondering why there wasn’t
already a band playing this music, they decided the time was right.

The Milkman’s Union is an enigmatic three-piece based in Portland,
Maine. While their sound can most easily be characterized as
indie-rock, idiosyncrasies abound. Drawing from classical, jazz,
electronic, and various non-western musics, the band infuses rock
grooves with deft melodic hooks and rhythmic flourishes that combine
for an original sound.

Over the past two years, their sound has been broad enough to share
the stage with incredibly diverse acts such as Deerhunter, Santigold,
The Morning Benders, Ben Kweller, Wintersleep, Woods, S. Carey, White
Hinterland, and Ducktails. They’ve grown popular in the New England
college circuit and have played at Dartmouth, Wesleyan, Trinity,
Middlebury, Wellesley, Mt. Holyoke, UMaine, Bowdoin, Bates, Clark, and
Colby in the past year alone. They were recently named the Deli
Magazine’s New England artist of month for March and nominated for the
Portland Phoenix’s Indie Act of the Year. Their latest album ‘Roads
In’ is currently in rotation at more than 100 independent radio
stations across the U.S. and Canada.

They have a two nice videos up here: http://vimeo.com/19237394 and here:
http://vimeo.com/22571717. There’s also four tracks from their last
album up at www.myspace.com/themilkmansunion.

Rough Francis hails from Burlington, Vermont and are well known across the country and have been positively reviewed by Seven Days to the New York Times. Having been born into in the hardcore and punk scene since their fathers are members of and inspired by the power and magnitude of their father’s (members of the ledgendary punk band, Death) recordings, Rough Francis reincarnated their fathers’ music with a more catch, new wave accents. Check out their track Hangin’ On here:
