Ally J Ward is a queer and trans stand up comedian, improviser, and storyteller out of Portland, Oregon. She is a self-described dumb baby and good girl. In 2024, she was named one of the "Hottest Queer Comedians of Today" by Out Magazine as part of their Big Happy Comedy Tour. In 2025, the Willamette Week named her Portland's Funniest Person. She has appeared at Bumbershoot, The Moth Grand Stage, and hosted Dan Savage's HUMP film festival. She has featured for comedians Ian Karmel, Juno Birch, Gabriel Rutledge, Steve Hoffstetter, Rachel Scanlon, and Rosebud Baker. Her dry, petty wit lends her comedy to a more narrative approach covering her trans, queer, fat, and kinky identities. 

Andy Iwancio is a trans gal comedian from Seattle (by way of Baltimore). With her ten years of comedy she brings a witty, sardonic and slightly profane style to her jokes about navigating marriage, having a disability.

Her full-length comedy album “Better Living Through Femmistry” was released on the legendary label K*ll Rock Stars in 2024 charting at #1 on the itunes comedy chart and #1 on the amazon comedy charts. In 2025 her EP "Old School" for Burn This Records charted at #2 on itunes comedy chart and #1 on the Amazon comedy chart.

She has opened for Kyle Kinane, Whitmer Thomas, James Adomian, Gareth Reynolds, Josh Gondelman and Cameron Epsosito.
