Meet our host, A.D. Garrett:

Stand-up comic, actor, and television host. As an actor, A.D. got his start as an extra on the 2002 sitcom "The Center" about the life of comedian Matty Blake. These days, he can be seen as the philandering Mr. Mitchel on the internet teen series "Orange Juice In Bishop's Garden". As a comic, A.D. started doing stand-up in 2007 at open mics in Boston. Now located in DC, A.D. can be seen at the 11th Street Lounge in Arlington, the Comedy Spot in Ballston, and several locations in Adams Morgan. He is also the host and producer of an increasingly popular comedy show.

You can see Adaylah again on April 30th at COMEDY SUPREME, an all-female show featuring a diverse group of dynamic divas from the beltway and beyond. Saturday, April 30th @ 8pm (301 John Carlyle Street, Alexandria, VA 22314). More info and tickets are available at http://cs043011.eventbrite.com.

Jenn Tisdale's comedic style has been compared to that of Janeane Garofalo...taking sarcasm, dryness, and a dash of inappropriate in order to create the greatest melting pot of comedy since America's inception. She can be seen at local clubs and colleges around the Baltimore/D.C. area. You can find her this weekend (April 2nd) at the University of Maryland, Baltimore and at Sully's Comedy Cellar in Parkville, MD for COMEDY SAVES: A Benefit for Disaster Victims of Japan, an event which she organized and will host.

Mekka is a shiftless ex-military brat who hails from no where at all. She currently resides in Washington, DC, and officially embarked on her career in comedy a little over a year ago. Since first stepping on stage, she has enjoyed the privilege of working with and opening for some very reputable comedians and has performed on some of the city’s hottest stages. Shedding her self imposed label as a slacker, she has hit the ground running, expanding her comedy talents to not just the stage but to television projects as well, working both in front of and behind the camera. She has joined the cast of a public broadcast television show, Reel Critics T.V., has been featured on A.D.’s comedy show, and is currently one of the five Riddick Bowe Comedy Allstars, which should begin touring by late 2011. Recently, she has put on the cap of Writer/Producer and is currently working on several creative television projects that will begin airing this summer.
