ARTIST BIOS:
Danny Anderson
Danny Anderson (he/him) may be relatively new to the stand-up comedy scene, but is no stranger to using humor as a tool for navigating lifes obstacles. After having his Air Force career and profession as a building engineer cut short by Multiple Sclerosis, Danny finally took a very metaphorical leap into Comedy. He likes to point out some of the positives of his chronic disease like at long last a legitimate excuse for being 64 and absolute trash at basketball. Danny has been dragging himself up behind microphones all across Washington State, already having limped across the stages at Spokane and Tacoma Comedy Clubs, Nate Jacksons Super Funny Comedy Club, Comedy/Bar and Club Comedy on Capitol Hill in downtown Seattle and hes patiently waiting for his Keyser Söze moment where he confidently strides up and off a stage near you!
Forest Ember
Forest Ember (she/her) is a queer, neurodivergent Producer of Pun Intended Punslam a Clowntrepeneur who swims and splashes through life living with a swarm of diagnoses and danger. She plays washboard, trombone, drums, and tambourine in several local brass bands but her main instrument shell show and tell you is the audiences heartstrings.
Cheri Hardman
Cheri Hardman (she/her) captivates audiences with hilarious tales about being a plus size, menopausal babe. She won Tacoma Comedy Clubs The Comedy Voice, was a finalist in Nate Jacksons Super Funny Comedy Clubs Funniest MF Out Here and performed in Seattle International Comedy Competition. Her bawdy, sassy style makes her the perfect host for Heavy Petting with Cheri Hardman.
Andy Iwancio
Andy Iwancio (she/her) is a trans gal comedian from Seattle (by way of Baltimore). With her ten years of comedy she brings a witty, sardonic and slightly profane style to her jokes about navigating marriage, having a disability, and, most importantly, boob puns.

Festival-wise, she has done Bumbershoot, SF Sketchfest, Women in Comedy NW, Upper Left Festival, Altercation, and All-Jane.

You also may have heard her as a guest on many podcasts including: The Sarah Silverman Podcast, Bananas with Kurt Braunholer & Scotty Landes, Improv4Humans with Matt Besser, and Lady 2 Lady with Brandie Posey, Tess Barker and Barbara Gray.

Tambre Massman
