About the Comedians

Kerry McNally:

  • Versatile Entertainer: Kerry McNally is recognized as a dynamic broadcaster, comedian, and U.S. Marine with two Emmy Awards and a New York State Broadcasters Award.
  • Engaging Host: In a 2021 interview, McNally expressed his enthusiasm for hosting, stating, "I love hosting, and being a cheerleader for other comedians... And I can really whip a crowd into a frenzy."
  • Audience Acclaim: An audience member at Comic Strip Live in New York City praised McNally's performance, noting, "The Host, Kerry McNally, was smart and really funny!"

D.C. Benny:

  • Storytelling Comedian: D.C. Benny is celebrated for his storytelling approach to comedy. A 2025 article highlighted his style: "He doesn't tell jokes, per se; rather, he is a storyteller. A gifted storyteller who can bring on the sort of laughter that starts small and quickly evolves into the rolling belly-laugh variety."
  • Diverse Performer: Benny has an extensive career spanning over 35 years, with performances on Comedy Central, NBC's "Last Comic Standing," and acting roles in various TV series and commercials.
  • Unique Style: An editorial review of his album "Funny Motherflower" describes his early comedic development: "When a bunch of drunk rednecks started heckling him, he abandoned his prepared act, started insulting them, and had the whole place laughing."

Both comedians bring a wealth of experience and unique styles to their performances, promising an engaging and memorable evening for the audience.
