Mitch Gill- was a radio DJ for 13 year’s, several of those years as morning host. He is a paperboy or, rather, paperman and, he has also DJ’d hundreds of weddings. Mitch has a storied and mysterious past, some of which, even he doesn’t remember. He was the founder of the, now defunct “Get A Room Comedy Club”. He likes it when people say his name. Mike Ball say’s “Mitch Gill is one weird dude”. Mitch is from Michigan, his comedy is quirky and observational. You’ll be all, what? Omg! You never know what you’re gonna get from Mitch. Things Mitch Gill quit; Gluten, Drinking, Marriage, Meat, Dairy and Eggs. There’s got to be a joke in there!
Abby Veitengruber- After hosting her highschool talent shows for three years and making one slightly inappropriate graduation speech, Abby knew standup was an endeavor she wanted to dive into. Abby made a dent in the comedy scene from 2015-2019, quickly making a name for herself by winning the the Mark Ridley's Detroit to LA comedy competition in 2018. Abby has performed at The Comedy Store, The Ice House, Laugh Factory, Mark Ridley's Comedy Castle and more. She has worked with Zoltan Kaszas, Whitney Cummings, and Rob Little. Abby took a break from the stand up scene because life got in the way but is back in full force. Abby enjoys talking about her family because it will make you feel better about yours.
