Debra DiGiovanni
Comedy
Canadian comedian Debra DiGiovanni is one of a kind. She’s been called the “Best Comedian to see after a Messy Break Up” and for the years 2008/2009-she was named Toronto’s (her home town) favorite comedian. In 2008, she taped her second “Comedy Now!” special for CTV/Comedy network and in 2009 she taped her second gala at Montreal’s Just for Laughs Festival. She also taped her first special on Comedy Central with her Live at Gotham recorded in New York City. Her special, “Single Awkward Female” premiered on Showtime in January 2012. Debra’s comedy has a sharp edge while maintaining a playful, happy air and her persona is one of the best developed of any comic working today. Couple that with a hilarious act that is so personal everyone can relate and you see why Debra is so popular; her humour and charm lies in her unflinching honesty and openness. -

Sarah Tiana
Comedy
Most recently, Sarah was featured on the big hit show Roast Battle on Comedy Central in which she was the runner-up in a field of 16 other comics at the Just for Laughs festival in Montreal. She is a regular on @Midnight on Comedy Central, regular on Chelsea Lately, regular/writer on The Josh Wolf Show on CMT, regular at “ignoring red flags.” Writer for Jeff Ross and The Burn, Host of the Roast of Justin Beiber Red Carpet, Host of the CMA’s Red Carpet.
These are the things you know about Sarah Tiana.
What you don’t know is Sarah Tiana has been a “working” comedian/ex-waitress in Los Angeles since 2003. Originally from Calhoun, GA, Sarah's act emphasizes the thrills of growing up after “The War Of Northern Aggression” and trying to survive in the current battle of the sexes. She doesn’t call herself “single,” (she’s too old for that), she prefers to be called “sexually active.”
Sarah’s big break came after she was recognized for her "breakout performance" as Carmen in four episodes of Reno 911's 7th season. In 2005, she helped create a sketch comedy company called The Strait Jacket Society as a way to help young actors in Hollywood accelerate their stage time and gain exposure while still having fun (she has currently put over 500 actors through the program).
A downright ‘Merican, Sarah has done over 12 tours of comedy for the troops including Germany, Singapore, Afghanistan, Guam, Okinawa, and several Wounded Warrior Facilities. A trip to Iraq at the beginning of the war is highlighted in the documentary film, "We Love You Mrs. Bevins.” She has been a correspondent on “The Soup Investigates” as well as “Love You, Mean It” starring Whitney Cummings.
An avid sports fan, Sarah wrote for the ESPY awards and the Rob Riggle NFL segments on FOX. She can be seen at The World Famous Comedy Store, Twitter, and numerous unhealthy relationships in and around Los Angeles. She will never be seen in the three pilots she taped last year or be caught dead in the dress she wore on Craig Ferguson (it no longer fits).

Stand-up
Lisa Curry is an internationally touring comedian and TV writer based between New York and Los Angeles. She began her career as part of Second City Hollywood's house improv ensemble where she performed with some of the most well-respected names in comedy. Her quick mind and sharp wit have landed her jobs as a correspondent for both Alpha Networks in Los Angeles and State of Mind Media in New York. In 2017, PBS chose Lisa to represent comedians in Los Angeles for their docu-series, 'Angeleno.' Months later, she performed on the four-time Emmy Award-winning 'The Mystery Hour' at the legendary Gillioz Theatre in Springfield, Missouri. Lisa has completed four national tours and continues performing across the country between staff writing jobs. Most recently, she completed her first tour of the UK, which kicked off with a sold out headlining show at the prestigious Mach Comedy Festival in Machynlleth, Wales. Lisa was the first American to perform at the festival in it's eight year run and she will be returning to perform a new hour in 2019. Lisa has worked as a creative on ad campaigns for both Amazon and Comedy Central. She has also written for Mtv, Fuse, and TruTV, where she was a staff writer for their hit show, 'Comedy Knockout'. Her work is best described as smart, dark and deeply personal. -
