Comedian Bios:
Chris Monty's latest high-profile projects include his stand-up comedy special titled "What's the Worst That Could Happen" (Amazon Prime), Vinyl (HBO), Red Oaks (Amazon Prime), Paul Bart: Mall Cop 2 (Sony Pictures), Kevin Can Wait (CBS), and Orange is the New Black (Netflix).
In his stand-up, Chris Monty channels a refreshing and unique style of the 1960's cool funnyman mixed with a modern chic. His unique take on current topics and storytelling are reminiscent of the comics that would keep The Rat Pack in stitches for weeks. He spans generations in that older crowds love his cool, retro style and younger crowds see a cadence that they haven't seen on stage. It is truly something unique to experience. Chris's experience as a stand-up lends itself to his wide ranging acting work also. He uses his quick improvisational skills and ability to use physical slapstick and timing to enhance his acting roles.
Aaron Kominos-Smith has appeared on Comedy Central’s Inside Amy Schumer, Live at Gotham on the Oculus NextVR Network, MTV, and American Movie Classic. Audiences connect instantly with Aaron’s charming wit and energetic characters. His humor varies from observational thoughts on the mundane to articulated commentary about society sprinkled with a few dashes of wackiness. Simultaneously performing comedy and studying architecture in college, Aaron went on to work as a professional architect. After he realized that buildings take years to complete while a joke can instantly bring people joy, he made the switch from constructing buildings to constructing jokes. Aaron regularly works the clubs in New York City along with touring colleges across the country.
Phil Hunt is a seasoned comedian who first honed his skills in his hometown of Indianapolis before moving to New York City. Phil has appeared on BET's On The Ropes, SiriusXM’s “Sway in the Morning” and he was runner-up in the 2017 "Caroline’s March Madness Competition" where he bested 62 of the top comics in NYC.
Phil was also a semi-finalist in New York’s Funniest Competition and the prestigious Boston Comedy Festival. He was also seen at The Apollo Theatre in Harlem where he even had his name featured on the marquee. In 2021, Phil was selected as a semi-finalist for The American Black Film Festival Comedy Competition in LA.
Poised, deliberate, and polished, Phil Hunt brings the house down nightly at a variety of comedy venues across the country. Phil’s style is a mix of very refined material that combines unique observational commentary and imaginative storytelling that is steeped in a perspective all of his own.
Two days after Michelle Slonim gave birth to a baby girl, Michelle received an email saying she was cast in a sketch for Late Night With Seth Meyers. Michelle had gone on tons of auditions: once in a chicken costume, another time in a bikini while eight months pregnant, and she never got the part. Now a week after her baby was welcomed into the world, Michelle’s in hair, makeup and wardrobe, on set for a major network television show. She plans to have a second child so she can make an appearance on Colbert. Michelle has appeared on web-shows for Comedy Central and HBO and on SiriusXM Radio. You can see her performing stand-up comedy in most clubs and bar shows in New York City.
Ben Rosenfeld's comedy is “playfully dark, seriously smart.” Ben’s comedy blends his family’s experience as Russian Jewish immigrants in America with his philosophical beliefs, political observations and unique characters. Ben has been seen on BuzzFeedVideo and is slightly “TikTok famous” with over a quarter-million followers and 11 million likes. He’s also appeared on FOX’s Laughs, Travel Channel’s Mysteries At The Museum, CBS This Morning, Nat Geo’s Brain Games, Netflix’s Brainchild, NPR’s Weekend Edition, SiriusXM Radio, The New York Post and been featured as TimeOut New York’s Joke of the Week. He has twice headlined at Caroline’s on Broadway, hosted at the Lincoln Center and performs nightly in New York City. Ben has four comedy albums and two illustrated humor books.
