AMANDA MELSON is a comedian and writer who wrote for the late Greg Giraldo and has contributed to "Weekend Update" on Saturday Night Live. She competed in Last Comic Standing and performs comedy in many of New York City's finest basements. She once got sent to the principal for excessive eye rolling. Still a problem.
ALEX EDELMAN went to The Edinburgh Fringe Festival with his debut show, Millennial, and walked away with the coveted Best Newcomer Award in comedy. He's considered one of New York's promising "one to watch" comedians. Alex has performed in Spain, France, and Israel where he founded The Comedy Basement and he's been featured on NPR with Brian Lehrer. He started acting, writing, and doing standup when he was fifteen. He's still super-young. (Photo Credit: Idil Sukan idilweb)
