Bernice is a fresh face in the Seattle comedy scene and is taking it by storm. Her calm style of delivering jokes is disarming to the point you won’t see her punchlines coming til it’s too late. She made you laugh and now she’s got your soul. Sorry. Them’s the rules.
Meet Srishti, the code queen from India, now soaking up those Seattle vibes. Daytime? She's all about crushing code. But come nighttime, it's comedy central—she went from open mics to getting those paychecks in just two months, showing off her killer comedic skills. Srishti spills the tea on mental health, work chaos, and all the funny stuff her crew gets up to.
Zahnae Aquino is a Seattle-based up and coming comedian. Pivoting from her TEDx Talk, she performs all across the West Coast by gracing the stage with her unique perspective as a young, ethnically ambiguous woman. She produces across the city of Seattle, curating comedy to target the fun and flirty.
Ishtiaq Qureshi is a stand-up comedian from Seattle. He is originally from a state called Kashmir between Pakistan and India. Ishtiaq grew up in an active war zone area called Line of Control. President Bill Clinton once called this area ‘The world’s most dangerous place’. Ishtiaq brings a unique comedic perspective from a conflict zone and performs regularly at comedy venues in Seattle and Tacoma area.
Jackie Calipristi is a singer, songwriter, self taught software engineer, and total nerd based in Seattle. Professionally, she’s leading frontend software at a startup with a mission of getting blood tests to those who need it most. Outside of work, you can find her on a yoga mat or never finishing a comedic poetry book about software engineering.
Valerietakes their day-job as a scientist very seriously, except when they're doing science comedy, which is most of the time. After moving to Seattle in 2018, she founded "Geeky Comedy Seattle,” and you can now find her performing, singing, and producing geeky content wherever they'll let her.
