Thank you to our Presenting Sponsor, Blue Water Oral Surgery Center!
 
Brinn Daniels (HOST)
Brinn Daniels is a Nashville-based comedian and filmmaker. She originally hails from Florida, and if that doesn’t drive you straight into comedy, I suppose being born in a toilet and matching with family members on dating apps will. Brinn has performed at Zanies, Nateland Live, Don’t Tell Comedy, Third Coast Comedy Club, 731 Comedy Club and more, alongside some of the top nationally touring comedians. She is here to bring the family-friendly funny straight to your venue!
 
Joey Nickel (FEATURE)
2022 Champion of the Savannah Comedy Competition
Since his stand-up comedy debut at the 8th grade talent show, Joey Nickel has been addicted to making people laugh. In 2014 he quit his job at Apple and today relies solely on stand-up comedy and his wife's income to support his family of 5. In the wake of isolation and live comedy shows closing in 2020 he began his hugely successful web series "Comedy Super Friends" and continues to produce episodes if he feels like it. Currently he runs CSF live shows every first week of each month in the Jacksonville area. He has been described as clean and hairy both in comedy style and appearance. You can catch him regularly at the Jacksonville Comedy Zone and Madcaps Comedy Club and other clubs, bars, breweries, and Mexican restaurants all around the nation.
 
Tara Brown (HEADLINER)
Tara Brown is an award-winning comedian who performs clean and family-friendly comedy across the country. CharlotteFive.com named her as one of “The Standup Comedians You Need to Know in Charlotte;” while Queen City Nerve named her as “Best Comedian” for 2019. She is the most recent winner of Jeanne Robertson’s “Comedy with Class” Humor Competition. Tara can be seen on the 2nd season of the television show “Stand Up Nashville” on the Circle Network; on Dry Bar Comedy; on Open Bar Comedy; and on the high seas performing for Carnival Cruise Line.
