Mark Brady is a regular at Goodnights and has hosted for Donnell Rawlings. He performs all over the triangle even when he is sad.
No stranger to high profile shows, Mark made it to the finals of the Funniest Person in NC competition earlier this year, as well as performing in the 2015 Best of Raleigh Roundup show
Mark brings a great deal of performing experience to the competition and his consistent delivery style and writing chops make him dangerous in any comedy competition.
"If video games and cartoons had a lovechild........it might be me" When Dusty’s not dressing up like anime characters, he is doing comedy.
Dusty can be found at the Idiot Box most night it is open, whether for shows or open mics. In a relatively short time, he has gone from Idiot Box stand up class participant to making it straight to the 2nd round of the UCC. He is indeed a fan of cartoons, video games and anime and has been known to unashamedly bust out obscure references to them throughout his routine.
Dusty has a strong stage presence that puts him on par with the much more experienced comics in the competition. As his style continues to evolve, Dusty could be a club and competition regular for quite a while.
Aaron Cobb is a stand up comedian based out of Carrboro, NC. His offbeat humor, high energy, and commanding stage presence have entertained audiences across the far reaches of the galaxy.
Aaron’s comedy can hit you head on or sneak up on you without warning. His style makes him a comic with a wide appeal base.
Ryan Davis was born in Concord, NC. In two years of doing comedy, Ryan has won numerous comedy competitions, became a regular at The Comedy Zone in Charlotte, NC, and gained the respect of veteran comedians. Just like the comedians that influence him, Ryan's comedy style appeals to a wide range of audiences. His versatility has allowed him to open for top mainstream acts like Jay Pharoah, urban acts like Michael Blackson, & eccentric acts like Tom Green.
Ryan’s signature high energy and frenetic delivery makes for a memorable experience when you see him on stage. He hopes to repeat, and surpass, his efforts of last year when he made it to the UCC finals.
Ryan has stepped it up this year! His delivery even sharper than last year. And the experience of how he sets up and delivers his material is very akin to riding a rollercoaster; you think that you know where you are going and then suddenly he has you heading in an unexpected direction.
Melissa Douty is a comedian based out of Salem, VA. She currently has 4 jobs. When asked how her comedy career is going she said, “Um…I have 4 jobs.” but my mom thinks I’m hysterical.
Very personable with an almost ‘Aw, shucks’ delivery, Melissa ‘s comedy is sort of like that really smooth liquor that is so easy to drink and then hits you like a sledgehammer out of nowhere. A newcomer to the UCC and the Greensboro comedy scene, she is definitely making a name for herself quickly (and making her fellow competitors nervous)
Micah is very excited to show off what he's been working on throughout his first year in stand-up comedy. He hopes to bring the same energy and excitement he has on his podcast, The Open Mic’ers, to his 2nd round show. If you are at all interested in starting to do comedy, The Open Micers podcast is the podcast for you!
A two time nightly prize winner for most votes this competition, Micah is definitely putting the pressure on the other comics. If the way he stepped it up between 1st and 2nd rounds is any indication, the semifinals could be epic for him.
A long time comic and familiar face around the Idiot Box, Troy once again brings his unique perspective, quick wit, sharp delivery and strength as a storyteller to the UCC. He debuted as a stand up comic on February 4th, 2009 and has continued looking for, and finding, new material based on real life experiences . Troy enjoys sharing his passion for comedy with all audiences, no matter the size. When he is not out shaping up his comedy routines, he is busy shaping up people in his work as a personal trainer.
Back on the comedy scene and back to his winning ways, Troy is another two time nightly prize winner this competition.
Originally from New Jersey, Mike moved here to go to UNCG. Unfortunately, he was unable to leave behind the disabling personal issue of being a Jets fan. Using his personal life as the source of some of his comedy, he is trying to balance out the nights he performs on stage with those he ends up sleeping in the couch. Very personable with a easy delivery style, Mike connects with the audience in a style all his own.
With an kind of understated delivery style, and a look that kinda reminds you of that one guy..who was always in the dorm lounge... Mike’s comedy will sneak up on you and make you laugh in spite of yourself.
Zo Myers is a regular host at The Idiot Box's Open Mic & No Nonsense Comedy shows in Greensboro, NC as well as The Laughing Gas in Winston-Salem. Beyond that, Zo is committed to letting his material speak for itself.
hmm..ummm... what more could I add? :)
Joe Perrow is a stand up comedian from Raleigh. To everyone's surprise, Joe won North Carolina's Funniest Person at Goodnights Comedy Club earlier this year. The title has alienated Joe from other area comics because no one thinks he deserved it
A week ago, Joe made a joke about unifying all of the comedy titles in the state. Seheing him perform and seeing his success so far this year, that is one joke that may not have the other competitors laughing much. Of course, on the heels of his making the joke, the other competitors voted him as comic most likely to mysteriously vanish before his next set in the UCC.
Jay Stadler talks fast, so try to keep up and when u can't, just laugh when he drinks.
Jay is a UCC veteran, and has made an appearance in the finals. He also performs at various venues around the state. His rapid fire delivery makes his material even more effective. He has been doing comedy for a while now and performs at various venues around the state.
Another mainstay in the Greensboro comedy scene, Jay always makes an impact in the UCC. A blast to watch in general, but it is almost mesmerizing when he gets fully into his ‘sell’ mode. It is almost impossible not to buy into his routines and root for him.
