Jesse Fernandez
I live in the Bay Area most of the time, professionally writing, telling, and drawing jokes. It's what I've been doing for a decade and a half, and I love it. I even wrote my master's thesis on the linguistic mechanisms that elicit laughter.
I've had the pleasure to write for countless organizations, including ABC, MSN, Starbucks, Frito-Lay, Hitachi, TED Talks, and AJ+, Onion Inc. I teach writing, comedy, performance, and more at Google. I was a staff writer at eBaum's World for about 4 years and head writer there for 3 years. I once gave a talk at the International Society for Humor Studies, gave comedy presentations in 10 countries, became a two-time finalist (one-time champion) in the National College Comedy Competition and performed in 10 consecutive SF Sketchfests.
Pete Ballmer
Born in Seattle Washington, Pete Ballmer is a stand up comedian currently based in San Francisco. Pete's sharp but friendly style of comedy brings the whole room together through seamlessly weaving together his insights on concerning societal trends, mundane human experiences, romance and his own upbringing.
Pete has been featured in SF Sketchfest, the Santa Cruz Comedy Festival, the Motor City Comedy Festival, the Savage Henry Comedy Festival and the San Francisco International Comedy Competition. Pete is the lead producer for Don't Tell Comedy in San Francisco and can be seen weekly at Don't Tell Comedy shows in SF and the North Bay along with a variety of other local showcases.
Nancy Lee

Nancy has been selected to showcase her stand up comedy talent for HBO Max’s Ha Festival as well as the San Luis Obispo Comedy Festival where she was the only female to make it to the final showcase. Her style incorporates animation and commitment which creates a strong stage presence that stands out in the comedy world. Not only is she talented in stand up, she’s also an accomplished actress with her appearances on television and film including ABC’s Grey’s Anatomy, The Blacklist, and Dr. Ken.
