The Line Up!
Grant Lyon
Described by San Francisco Weekly as “a hilariously sharp observer, not one of those tired white-guy bellyachers,” Grant was once a collegiate soccer player. He decided to pursue a career on stage instead of on the field, and that decision’s been rewarded by being chosen as a New Face in comedy at the Just For Laughs Festival, winning the Laughing Skull Comedy Festival, and being a finalist in the Big Sky Festival.
He’s appeared on Comedy Central, Comics Unleashed, SyFy’s series The Movie Show, and he starred in the Amazon Prime feature film Killer Kate! In addition, he’s been a guest on the nationally syndicated Bob and Tom Radio Show and on numerous popular podcasts including Doug Loves Movies. “Scheduled Fun Time,” his comedy album with 800 Pound Gorilla records, hit number #1 and has been featured on numerous SiriusXM channels.
As well as being a contributing writer for the Huffington Post, the film he wrote and starred in, Interview Date, was eligible for a short film Academy Award. Funny or Die, MSN, Huffington Post, and others are among the sites that have featured Grant’s sketch videos on their home pages. You might also recognize him from a number of national commercials including AT&T, Johnsonville Sausage, CiCi’s Pizza, Sam Adams and more

Samantha has also performed in numerous festivals such as The World Series of Comedy Las Vegas, She Devil NY, and Laughing Skull Atlanta.
Tim Warner
It’s difficult being a human, and Tim Warner wants to talk about it. With his sharp wit, keen observation and a lot of sincerity, Tim dives deep under the surface to point out all of the hilarious truths about what it means to be part of humanity.
Warner is the ultimate antihero, finding strength in showing his vulnerability and sharing his own weaknesses and flaws. Rather than creating a diversion from the things that gnaw at us, he shines an interrogation light on them and makes you laugh about what a messy business life is.
Warner has appeared on K*ll Tony Podcast and his comedic insights were quoted in the book Behind the Laughs: Community and Inequality in Comedy By Michael P. Jeffries In 2019, Warner was a finalist on “Comics Watching Comics” on Amazon Prime and in December he is releasing his debut Comedy specumentary – “A Flawed Pursuit o’ Happiness”
Warner hosts his own podcast, The Joker in the Rye, which has been hailed as “Authentic” ”Gritty” and “a great window into comedy”. The Joker in the Rye is available for download on iTunes & Spotify or it can be watched on Warner’s Patreon.
