More about the performers:

One of the BEST comedians who came from the Ding Ho, the seminal comedy club for the Boston scene, Mike McDonald has performed comedy all over the world on cruise ships and USO Tours. He has done comedy on planes, helicopters and in the Focselle of the USS America during air ops. He could see the air move when a fighter would take off and had to time his stuff to punch between the deafening roar of takeoff. He has worked Kuwait in August and Greenland in December, so do not tell him how your weather is horrible. In less than 9 months, he has had both frostbite and prickly heat. He has performed in 50 different countries and is universally loved except at the places they firebombed.

Jim Colliton is a confused middle-aged man who can spin soccer games, school drop-offs and lunches into his comedy material based on his life as a dad and husband. Talking about basic daily activities like yard work or dealing with peanut butter allergies, Jim’s love for performing comes across every time he takes the stage. His well-crafted jokes are weaved into his spontaneous crowd work bringing down the house at comedy clubs and cruise ships across the world. He recently released his first Dry Bar special, and has been seen on national television shows like Ed McMahon’s Next Big Star, Comcast Comedy Spot Light, and Comedy Central Laugh Riots. Jim can also be heard on Sirius XM Satellite Radio.

Chris Cameron has worked at comedy clubs, fund-raisers and theaters around New England. He's been the runner-up in the Boynton's Comedy Contest in Manchester, N.H., and the Witch City Comedy Contest in Salem, Mass. He has shared the stage with top headliners including Juston McKinney, Mike McDonald, Paul Nardizzi and Paul D'Angelo.
