Host of the Evening:
Trent Babb:
For 9 years, Trent Babb has been making crowds laugh as a shameless goofball and passionate performer. His humor focuses on his insecurities and life as a husband and father. Influenced by Jim Carrey and Brian Regan, Trent is a larger-than-life performer that gives his all on stage. He is a proud family man that doesn’t care for any drama, he gets enough of that at home.

He has shared the stage with notarized comedians like Derryl Hannah (SNL), Kabir Singh (AGT), and Darren Carter the Party Starter (BET).
Featuring Comedians:
Chris Flail:
Chris Flail started performing stand-up comedy during his final year of law school and never looked back. He has since become only a decent lawyer, but a tremendous comedian. His comedic style combines authentic, thoughtful storytelling with sharp technical joke writing - all told from the perspective of a maturing, renaissance meathead.
Based in Sacramento, Chris regularly performs all throughout California and has worked with some of the biggest names in comedy, including: Dave Attell, Nick Swardson, Joey Diaz, Al Madrigal, Erik Griffin, Theo Von, and Ms. Pat. He has headlined shows from Seattle, Washington to Bangkok, Thailand, and graced hundreds of stages in between. Chris also produces his own comedy shows, which have consistently drawn sold-out crowds since 2017 and helped build a powerful scene in his second-hometown of Bakersfield, CA. Chris hosts 'The Bomb Diaries' podcast, where he trades battle stories with stand-up comics, musicians, and other artists about the trials and tribulations of an up-and-comer.
Jessica Keenan:
Jessica Keenan is a Mexican/Lebanese comedian, born and raised in Las Vegas, Nevada. The consummate oddball, she spent her childhood making her friends and family laugh until she went into comedy professionally. Jessica stands out as one of the funniest and freshest faces on the LA comedy scene today. She can be seen at The Comedy Store, The Improv, Laugh Factory, Westside Comedy Theater, and in the movie “The Love Section” now playing on Netflix.

Headliner of the Evening:
Erik Griffin:
A towering force of comedy, Erik Griffin is most recognizable as the mustachioed Montez Walker on the hit Comedy Central series WORKAHOLICS, which recently wrapped its seventh and final season.
Griffin will next starred as a series regular in Showtime’s dark-comedy series I’M DYING UP HERE.
Based on the book by former L.A. Times writer William Knoedelseder, the fictionalized series is set in the celebrated yet infamous L.A. stand-up comedy scene of the '70s, and co-stars Melissa Leo, Al Madrigal and Ari Graynor, under executive producer Jim Carrey.
Griffin’s first hour-long comedy special, THE UGLY TRUTH, also airs on Showtime.
Previous television credits include a recurring role on Starz! comedy BLUNT TALK with Patrick Stewart, Netflix’s ONE DAY AT A TIME, FX’s YOU’RE THE WORST, Fox’s BOB’S BURGERS, ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT, and Nickelodeon’s HARVEY BREAKS.
On the big screen, Griffin can be seen in Jake Szymanski’s MIKE & DAVE NEED WEDDING DATES and Kerem Sanga’s FIRST GIRL I LOVED.
Distinguished as a nationally touring comedian who headlines comedy clubs and colleges nearly every weekend, Griffin’s comedy is immortalized on his debut comedy album, Technical Foul: Volume One, and his Comedy Central Presents half-hour stand-up special.
Griffin started his career in comedy after making the decision in 2003 to quit his job and pursue comedy full-time. He first gained national exposure in Comedy Central’s LIVE AT GOTHAM, NBC’s LAST COMIC DRIVING, Showtime’s COMICS WITHOUT BORDERS, nationally syndicated COMICS UNLEASHED and performing on the ALMA Award-nominated PAYASO COMEDY SLAM on Showtime and Comedy Central networks.
