He also took second place at the Boston Comedy Festival, and his performance at the prestigious Just for Laughs Comedy Festival in Montreal was praised in Time Out New York. He's delighted audiences at Sydney’s Comedy Store and Laugh Garage where The (Australia) Daily Telegraph remarked “his show features hair trigger laughs with a deadly aim, all the more so because while some comedians overestimate their own intelligence, Norelli never underestimates ours.”

She’s just funny. She’s clever and cool and very human.”

Her CD, Princess, was released by Grammy award-winning producer, Dan Schlissel. She joined an impressive list of artists recorded by Stand Up! Records (including Lewis Black, David Cross, Patton Oswalt, Marc Maron). The Serious Comedy Site selected the album as a “2012 Top 10 Stand-up Comedy MP3 albums and CD“.
The Louisiana native has settled in Los Angeles where she caught the attention of the legendary founder of the Improv chain, Budd Friedman. He bestowed the title of “America’s Next Funniest” comedian upon her at Harrah’s Improv in Las Vegas in 2010. The competition was sponsored by the DVD release of the movie, “Funny People”, and ijoke.com. In addition, Alysia was a finalist in many more competitions, including the California’s Funniest Female Competition.
She was selected as a Hot Comedian by Campus Activities Magazine. College audiences agree, “Wood can turn almost anything into a joke.”

Ian Bagg, Thurs., Aug., 8th - Sun., Aug., 11th
Ian Bagg is the first name in this sentence, and chances are it will be the last. Ian started comedy in a small country off the coast of Japan called Canada. He proceeded to do all the show business things that every successful Canadian entertainer does. He went to a “Hockey Night in Canada” game on a Saturday night performed at the “Montreal Comedy Festival,” kissed a fish in New Foundland and did a “Comedy Now” special on CTV. So what does a Canadian do when he has done all? He boards a train to NYC, lives in youth hostel and ends up on “Late Night with Conan O’Brien,” “The Late Late show with Craig Ferguson” and “Tonight Show with Jay leno.” It is not always fun and games. He was forced to do “Make Me Laugh,” “Showcase Comics with Louie Anderson,” “Fridays” on NBC and the “Late Late Show with Craig Kilborn.”
Acting, although not his first love, has been fun. Bagg has acted in Tim Robbins’ “The Cradle will Rock,” “MVP 2,” and “MXP” and a cut out of the movie “Coyote Ugly.” And here is something interesting—he’s the only one known for working with famed director/producer Judd Apatow and not becoming a multi billionaire. Life has been amazing for Bagg being on the History Channel, the Food Network, the Biography Channel and being the first ever Canadian to meet three presidents-- Ronald Reagan, Jimmy Carter and George Bush, although only one was in the White House at the time while he met one on a plane and the other at a hockey practice.
While working red carpet interviews, Ian has pissed off Brad Pitt, been hit with a champagne bottle and asked for chocolate covered pretzels by Alec Baldwin. You probably wonder what kind of man does this and without imploding? The answer is a man whose dog survived a three- story fall and who’s been known to think he is twelve--but may actually be twenty-nine or seventy-two.
Ian went to school to be an explosives engineer, but a lucky chance at an open mic made him the volatile one. If you dare to see a comedian who was named the number 2 out of 11 comics to see live in 2012 by “Crave Online,” he will be in your area soon because this manchild does over 100,000 air miles a year…or you could listen to his radio/podcast show on XM Radio channel 160 or The Toadhopnetwork (The Ian Bagg Show.) And soon after two successful half-hour specials--one on “Comedy Central Presents” and HBO’s “A Comics Climb,” he taped his first one-hour special. “Anyway you get to know him you will remember him” ~ Ronald Reagan
Quinn Dahle, Thurs., Aug., 15th - Sun., Aug., 18th
With appearances on networks such as Showtime and Comedy Central and television shows such as The Tonight Show, Lopez Tonight and Last Call with Carson Daly, Quinn is quickly establishing himself as one of the most available comedians in the country. He has headlined from Las Vegas to Atlantic City and nowhere in between. His comedic brilliance is obvious with such lines as “It’s good to be here” and “Who’s drinking?”
His early influences were Denny Hicketts and the Texas Four as well as such legendary acts as Rip Adams and the Tomato Sisters. Quinn likens himself to a young Brian Birdtrap without the goggles. Originally working in sales, Quinn longed for something more fulfilling. Finally, one night on a dare, Quinn got drunk and did an open mic. That’s when he knew he’d found his true calling…..drinking.
People in and out of the comedy business consider Dahle to be a smart, clean, and witty stand up comic with impeccable timing. Young Mr. Dahle is already working in clubs, colleges, and on corporate events. Dahle has worked with such names as Robin Williams, Drew Carey, Dana Carvey, Norm MacDonald, Jon Lovitz, Bill Maher, Frank Caliendo, David Alan Grier, John Witherspoon, Tommy Chong, John Pinette, and Harland Williams.
According to Dahle, “People told me I should do stand up since I was a kid.” It just happens that this talented young man comes from a show business family. Mr. Dahle Sr. played in the band Copperhead and had an album out in the early 1970s. Mr. Dahle Jr. decided he would rather write jokes than songs.
Never afraid to jump in feet first, Dahle looks out for his fellow comics and actually saved another comic's life one time while on the road. “I was opening for a fat guy at a casino in Nevada early in my career. He was about 30 minutes into his act when he started choking on some rock salt from a shot of tequila. The room was packed with about 500 people and they thought it was a joke at first. Then he came backstage pointing to his throat. No one else knew the Heimlich maneuver so I gave it a try. I could barely get my arms around him because he was so overweight but it did come up eventually. He told me I saved his life but I just did what any hero would do.”
The future is bright for Mr. Dahle and he aims to have industry people know his name. Projects in the works include touring his stand up act, constantly writing new material, and breaking into television and movies.
Willie Barcena, Thurs., Aug., 22nd - Sun., Aug., 25th
Comedian Willie Barcena, a 18-year comedy veteran, never shies away from a challenge. He just completed a two year run with The Morning Show on KSFM 102.5 Sacramento. During that time The Morning Show shot to the number one spot in this highly competitive market.
Willie’s talent has garnered him 10 appearances on “The Tonight Show with Jay Leno.” Jay even invited Willie to perform for the troops in Afghanistan. Barcena helped provide much-needed laughter to that part of the world.
Willie’s numerous jobs prepared him for his comedy career. His security guard, plumber, roofer, and limo driver gigs gave him a background for his humor about everyday life. After 12 years of stand-up road work Willie is now ready for new challenges. He has written and performed a one-man show entitled “Cry Like a Man.” This highly acclaimed performance demonstrates the struggle of a blue-collar comic in today’s society.
In addition to being a comedy road warrior, Willie has appeared on many TV shows including: “Moesha,” “The Wayans Brothers,” and he was chosen to be the host of the popular Si-Tv production “Latino Laugh Festival – The Show.”
He’s also made multiple appearances on tours such as “Que Locos,” “Latino Laugh Festival,” “Montreal’s Just for Laughs,” and “Crown Royal Latin All Stars Comedy Explosion.” Most recently, Willie had his one hour Comedy Central which was received with raved reviews.
