Andrew P. Reymer (Guest Spot)
Andrew P. Reymer grew up in small town Pennsylvania in a family-owned funeral home which went bankrupt despite the town having a “Ridge of Death,” which explains both his sardonic sense of humor and his inability to enjoy most anything. Now based in Baltimore, he’s performed at Magooby’s Joke House, the Lou Costello Room, and at several comedy events (including a few that should not have been comedy events).

Ellen Wesley
Ellen Wesley is a real-life ER doctor who does standup for fun. They say laughter heals, but only when you give it away! Based in Chicago, she flies around doing shows from coast-to-coast-to-coast! And it is absolutely true that life can BEGIN at, umm, let’s say 60?

Frank Vignola is a Delaware native who got his start in the business at Candlelight Dinner Theater doing productions of “Camelot” and “Fiddler on the Roof” the summer between his senior year of high school and his freshman year of college. “If memory serves, we got $5 a show for being in the chorus but the big money was in waiting tables in costume.” After college Frank moved to NYC and has been a transplanted New Yorker ever since. Besides appearances on Comedy Central, Amazon Prime and SiriusXM radio, Mr. Vignola also has performed at Montreal’s prestigious “Just for Laughs” Comedy Festival and toured the Middle East with Armed Forces Entertainment.

And as a teacher has taught stand-up at some of Manhattan’s finest comedy clubs (including StandUpNY, The Laugh Lounge and Broadway Comedy Club) in addition to mentoring and private coaching two decades worth of aspiring comedians.
