Comedians

Mandee McKelvey was recently named one of the 50 best undiscovered comics in the country by Thrillist, and it's not hard to see why. As one of the midwest's most acclaimed stand-up comedians, her candor, touch of vulgarity, and infectious sense of humor reveal an earnestness and vulnerability that invites us to find the humor in tragedy.

Mandee was named a breakout performer at Limestone Comedy Festival and the Memphis Comedy Festival, and has recently featured for Whitney Cummings, Michelle Wolf, Laurie Kilmartin, Tig Notaro, Todd Barry, and Anthony Jeselnik.

Her one-woman show, “My Left Boob”, received the Underdog Award for it’s sold-out debut at the 2019 IndyFringe and Kansas City’s Best of Fringe award in 2022. In 2023, she received a grant from the Kentucky Foundation for Women to film her first comedy special.

Mandee produces the celebrated roast show Character Assassination and the storytelling show We Still Like You.

Nick Higdon began performing standup in Louisville in 2020 after months of boredom from being locked inside during the pandemic. He moved to Cincinnati a year later to work on his craft and has steadily found his place in the scene. He regularly hosts at Go Bananas here in Cincy and has opened for national talents such as Jeremiah Watkins, Sean Patton, and Steve Byrne.

Allison Stapp is an up-and-coming comedian based out of Cincinnati. Allison’s comedy thoughtfully showcases her very stupid ideas with subtle punchlines and a unique cadence. Allison is the amateur division winner of the 2023 Funniest Person in Cincinnati contest. For more funny business and show dates, you can follow her on instagram @allisonstapp
