Ron McGehee (Irish/Korean)
 

Ron McGehee is Half Korean, Half Irish...Yep a dime a dozen. Born in Flint, Michigan and later raised in Orange, CA, Ron started performing comedy at church and corporate venues, where he was discovered to be a natural wit and incurable ham.

Ron's unique upbringing has allowed him to see things from a "different" perspective. His likable attitude and easy going charm allow him to get in touch with his audiences so they not only laugh with him but get to know him.

Ron has since broadened his performances to colleges, corporate venues, and into clubs. He has been able to do so without compromising his refreshingly clean style of humor, while at the same time not skimping on the quality of laughs.

Ron McGehee brings laughter to all audiences. He focuses on his comedy goals without neglecting the important matters of his faith.


Joey
Nibras (Iraq)

THE WACK IRAQI! Born as Nibras Joseph Abboud/Kasmihkah, Joey started doing stand up comedy in his hometown of Detroit, Michigan. His comedy takes on a unique flavor like peanut butter and flafel, due to his Middle Eastern heritage and charismatic personality. Joey integrates the conflicts of growing up in a Middle Eastern household with the current issues of today and breaks the myths and mysteries of his culture. For example Middle Easterners do take showers, once a month! Also, not all the women have moustaches. He has taken controversial subjects and turned them into a humorous situation. His animated personality and face shines while on stage. His goal is to entertain and educate audiences about the differences in Middle Eastern cultures through laughter. Joey gives thanks to his dysfunctional family for their comedic inspiration. Just for the record, Joey is not responsible for the gas prices! You can blame all 150 of his uncles and cousins.
