Host, Mark Moccia. Mark is the founder of Moccia Comedy Productions which, as of this writing, has raised nearly $92,000 in a little over two years for local charities from Northern Vermont to Rhode Island!
Headliner, Jody Sloane. Growing up, Sloane had a knack for finding humor in the darkest corners of life. Whether it was the absurdity of a government cheese sculpture or the quirks of her mother’s self-medicating with Winstons and Ring Dings, nothing was off-limits for her infectious laughter-inducing commentary. Her friends quickly learned that any situation could become a comedy goldmine with her around. Fast forward to mid-life, Sloane cut her entertainment teeth doing her sit-down schtick as a cheeky conductor on the Boston duck tours. Her duck tour experience was the perfect tee up to becoming a standup comedian. She's now a regular at esteemed comedy venues from New York to Maine and has been featured in several comedy festivals, including Laugh Your Asheville Off, Boston Comedy Festival, and The Women In Comedy Festival. If you're ready to embrace the perversely hilarious, and you're not afraid to explore the comical underbelly of life, then Sloane is your guide. Get ready to indulge your inner imp and join Jody Sloane for a night of comedy that's delightfully twisted and wickedly entertaining.
Featuring:
James Dorsey. After receiving his first D- for conduct in the second grade, James realized school was not his cup of tea and took his “disruptive in class” trademark to the stand-up stage and never looked back! He shares life experiences through high energy, witty act outs and facial expressions. His use of imitations and characters is incredibly vivid and entertaining. James was the national winner of the Catch a New Rising Star competition, the winner of the Plymouth Rock Comedy Festival, Runner Up at the Hoboken Comedy Festival and a semi finalist at the prestigious Boston Comedy Festival. James has been featured on the cover of Worcester Magazine, in Pulse Magazine, The Boston Herald, on Spike TV, the MyTV Network and Comcast on Demand Spotlight. James’ performance on stage has been described as “Flawless, smooth and original. A born professional”. James has shared the stage with Jerry Seinfeld, Patrice O’Neal, Jim Gaffigan, Joe Rogan, Gilbert Gottfried, Lenny Clarke, Bryan Callen and Steven Wright. He can be seen in every major comedy club in New England and will remain in your head and heart long after he has made his exit from the stage!!

She has performed in the Women In Comedy Festival, the WOOtenanny Comedy Festival, and at several clubs in New England including Nick's Comedy Stop and the Comedy Studio. She is a contributor for The Onion, Reductress, and The Hard Times, and her satire writing has been featured in McSweeney's. Kathy's stand up material touches on embarrassing topics such as food allergies and being a fake goth in middle school. Her favorite hobbies are making kombucha and mediocre crafts.
