❤️ Ryan Cox is a touring stand-up comedian based in Asheville, NC. Ryan's relaxed delivery weaves twisted storytelling with crafted one-liners and unique observations on our ever-changing world. Ryan has performed up and down the East Coast, from Comedy Key West to Bomb Shelter Comedy in NYC. He's opened for Reggie Watts, Sean Patton and Jessimae Peluso. Ryan hosts Home Planet with Ryan Cox, a weekly podcast that explores the creative process through conversations with comedians, musicians and artists from all walks of life.
❤️ Roman Fraden’s comedy is laid back and conversational as he moves seamlessly between absurdist humor about life, sexuality and other things, observational stories and engaging crowd work. He peddles his brand of comedy out of Asheville these days, but he’s performed in Los Angeles-based Hollywood venues like The Comedy Store, The Laugh Factory, and The Hollywood Improv and has trained with the Upright Citizens Brigade (UCB) theater. He’s opened for Mark Normand, Margaret Cho and Patton Oswalt and has also worked with various projects on film and stage – including the one man show ‘Back in the Closet’ that he did at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival in 2018. Pulp and other Slice of Life shows are always glad to have Fraden’s playful, sharp sense of humor on stage.
❤️Makenzie Manent is a Greenville native who’s been making her way up and down the East Coast, telling jokes and entering arm wrestling matches she has absolutely no chance of winning. In 2024, she was crowned “Greenville’s Most Hilarious,” and since then, she’s opened for a slew of hilarious comics like Geoffrey Asmus, April Macie, Therapy Gecko, Rocky Dale Davis, and more! Her bangs are definitely hiding a massive forehead—but she won’t mention it if you don’t. Makenzie’s comedy finds humor in the everyday situations and flips it on its head, leaving you with a fresh, funny perspective. Winner of the Spring 2025 Slice of Life Comedy Standup Comedy Pageant. https://youtube.com/shorts/4Pq9jjzOMnk?si=OTmmU9oSNuXGmDGj
