Featuring the comedy of Andrew Sleighter
Andrew Sleighter started in comedy looking for the perfect funny line to open a biography. Since then, Andrew’s laid-back style and clever writing has won him appreciation from fans and respect from his peers.
Andrew performed on Last Comic Standing, recorded a comedy special for Dry Bar and made his late-night stand-up debut on Conan. He's also written and performed sketch comedy for Comedy Central and wrote and blogged for the Sports Show with Norm Macdonald on Comedy Central. Most recently Andrew appeared on the Late Late Show with James Corden.
A regular at colleges and comedy clubs across the country, Andrew’s also performed at some of the most prestigious comedy festivals in and out of the country including Bumbershoot, Bridgetown, Gilda’s Laugh Fest, The Aspen Comedy Festival, Laughing Skull, and the Johnny Carson Great American Comedy Festival.
Andrew’s comedy has the ability to reach wide ranges of audiences and works in a diversity of rooms. Reliable and consistent, he rarely ends a show by lighting the stage on fire out of rage. Most importantly, he’s constantly fascinated by and eager to keep learning about stand-up.
Our returning MC Tyler Boeh
How do you go from being a nationally recognized vocal percussionist in a college acapella group to a nationally touring headlining comedian? Ask Tyler Boeh, a comedian whose comedy has been described as high-energy, intelligent, physical, and silly. His quick wit and award winning "beat-boxing" talent bring audiences to hysterical heights.
Tyler started his stand-up career in his hometown of Portland, OR, but after placing in the finals of comedy competitions in Seattle, San Francisco, Boston and at the World Series of Comedy in Las Vegas, Tyler made his way to Los Angeles. Within a year of his move to Hollywood he had established himself at the top comedy clubs, completed work on two television pilots, and Tyler’s debut comedy album, "Carpool Companion" was chosen as LaughSpin Magazine’s album of the year when it was released in 2012.
In 2015 Tyler held his own with Craig Fergusson on his new show, "Celebrity Name Game", was featured in numerous BuzzFeed videos, and appeared in 3 episodes of "Laughs on Fox". 2016 culminated with a college tour that took him to nearly 40 campuses across the country and a return visit to showcase for the third season of "Laughs" on Fox.
In 2018 Tyler released his second album, "Full Circle" which was selected in January as the SiruisXM 98 artist of the month and debuted at #2 on the Billboard Comedy Charts. In 2018 Tyler also released his Dry Bar Comedy special "Wait for it" which has already received over 5 million views online.
Tyler continues to perform across the country at comedy clubs, colleges, and theaters bringing his incredible brand of humor wherever he goes. You can hear his comedy on Sirius XM Radio, Pandora, iTunes, and many other platforms online, but don’t miss the chance to see Tyler perform live!
