Maxx Eddy

Maxx is a stand-up comedian based in the Bay Area comedy scene. His act primarily focuses on the queer experience in San Francisco, living with his parents, and the foibles of his infamous stepdad, Dino Dan.

Maxx is a paid regular at many Bay Area comedy clubs, where he has opened for Tim Dillon and Hal Sparks. Maxx was also a featured performer at San Francisco Sketchfest and the Portland Queer Comedy Festival. Doug Stanhope once tweeted that Maxx was a “very funny kid,” and Maxx regularly opens for Doug on his California dates.

Jide Okonkwo

With an international background, Jide brings a worldly (and sometimes otherworldly) perspective to the stage. Although based in the Bay Area, Jide has performed on many stages around the world, including at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. A lover of laughter and mangoes, his sweet tooth is the perfect foil for his sharp tongue. Catch him light up the stage with his smooth & cheeky style.
