Headliner - Cory Michaelis
After teaching high school for 12 years, Cory Michaelis "retired" to do comedy full time because he wanted to try out both of the lowest paying jobs in America. Now in his 12th year as a comedian (he's not THAT old...there was some overlap)
Cory has a Dry Bar Comedy Special -"Bad Teacher" - that snagged over 80 million views. His debut album, "The Collage Dropout," was released by 800 Lb. Gorilla Records and charted at #2 on iTunes & Billboard (because it was the only album released that week). Cory was a finalist in the Seattle Comedy Competition which means he didn't win and was in Season 2 of Netflix's "Huge in France" with Gad Almelah.
Feature - Timmy Booth

He brought his one man show to the 2024 Edinburgh Fringe Festival where it was reviewed as "a ramshackle hour of messy goodness that won't soon be forgotten."
Host - Bruce Detore
