The Bios for the night:

Guest Feature Joseph Christopher performs comedy all over the IL/WI brat belt; he takes mustard and saurkraut. He delights crowds with sharp, concise jokes and a lovable grin. He recently cried during an episode of Bar Rescue.

Main Feature Michael Palmenderi is a Rockford native. He’s a regular with Fats Productions Presents and has performed all over the Midwest, including Tom Foolery Fun Club, On the Fox Comedy Festival, and the Great Spirit Comedy Festival.

Main Feature Peter Daniel began his stand-up career in the comedy Mecca of Chicago in 2009 after being the first in his family to attend (and also first to drop out of) college. He still managed to moonlight as an engineer by day and while working as a comedian by night, he honed his act and became a regular at clubs throughout the country. Always a crowd favorite, his comedy focuses on the struggles of parenting, marriage and growing up first generation Mexican-American. Peter has appeared on One Mic Stand on FOX, Nickelodeon’s Mom’s Nite Out and is the co-creator of the web-series The Upside of Down Sketch Show.”

Headliner Ben Hamilton always knew he wanted to entertain people. It just took a heart attack and 2 failed marriages by the age of 34 to figure it out. Ben has spent the last 12 years of his life traveling the country telling his story to anyone that will listen. With his quick wit and relatable life stories, you are sure to find at least 2 things you like about him. Even if one of the things is him getting off the stage.
