About the Comics
Chris Gethard
Chris Gethard is a comedian, actor, author, and podcast host best known for The Chris Gethard Show, the hit podcast Beautiful/Anonymous, and his HBO special Career Suicide. He’s appeared in The Office, Parks and Recreation, Broad City, Inside Amy Schumer, Space Force, and films including Don’t Think Twice, The Heat, and Anchorman 2. Known for raw honesty, chaotic storytelling, and heartfelt comedy, Chris has become one of the most unique voices in stand-up today.
Meredith Dietz
Meredith Dietz is an NYC-based stand-up comedian and headline contributor for The Onion and Reductress. Her writing has appeared in The New York Times, CNN, NPR, Buzzfeed, and HuffPost, and her stand-up has been featured on WNYC. Smart, sharp, and delightfully unhinged online.
Jaye McBride
Jaye McBride is a regular at New York City’s Comedy Cellar and has performed at venues ranging from Red Rocks to Madison Square Garden. She’s appeared at the Netflix Is A Joke Festival and Just For Laughs as a “New Face,” and recently won a Writers Guild Award for her work on Inside Amy Schumer.
Rob Christensen
Rob Christensen is a Brooklyn-born comic, actor, and writer whose credits include This Is Not Happening, Adam Devine’s House Party, and Last Comic Standing — where Roseanne Barr once told him, “I didn’t like you from the moment I saw you.” Most recently, Rob was a staff writer on Apple TV+’s The Problem With Jon Stewart, earning four Writers Guild Award nominations.
Tony Sykowski
Tony Sykowski is a Brooklyn-based comedian who has opened for Geoffrey Asmus, Raanan Hershberg, and Mike Recine. He’s performed with Second City Theatricals, appeared at festivals across the country, and had his writing featured on Second City Network.
Over the past two years, the Crooked Mouth Comedy Fest has become one of upstate New York’s fastest-growing independent comedy festivals — and 2026 is shaping up to be the biggest one yet.
