Bill Bushart was named the “Best Comedian in Detroit 2010” by the Metro Times. “A drill sergeant with a smart mouth” said The Detroit Free Press. “Best Bet!”, The Detroit News. Bill’s fast paced, high energy, in your face of comedy has kept audiences laughing across the country. He has appeared on Detroit’s “Drew & Mike”; WJR 760 with Frank Beckman and FOX TV. He has worked with comedy greats Greg Geraldo, Lisa Lampanelli, Gilbert Gottfried and headlines clubs across the country! “A bitter pill to swallow” is how Bill Bushart describes his brand of humor.
Kate Brindle has performed her sarcastic yet upbeat and spunky style of comedy on the Canadian Broadcast Channel, Cox Cable, and Comcast Cable. She advanced in the California’s Funniest Female Contest, and was featured in the Oddball Comedy Festival and International Great Plains Comedy Festival. She’s also opened for Louie Anderson, Dave Attell, Bill Burr, Kevin Nealon, Kevin Pollak, and Sarah Silverman.
Jim Carney is what happens when a pipe fitter grabs a mic and stops pretending to be normal. He turns personal chaos into constant punchlines. His comedy is sharp, unpredictable, and brutally blue-collar, like if a union job site had a podcast. Jim’s the kind of comic who makes you laugh at stuff you definitely shouldn’t, but can’t stop thinking about on the drive home. He finds laughs in all the wrong places and somehow makes them feel right. He also hosts a monthly comedy open mic in Mt. Pleasant, Michigan at Rubble’s Dive Bar.
