Appearing at four previous comedy events in Westfield and so much enjoying the people in this community, comedian Rhonda Corey has invited seven of her funny friends to join her for this free night of entertainment.

Corey, from Rhode Island, truly embodies the New England spirit. It’s no wonder that her authenticity with a twist of lovable sass has resonated with audiences from Rhode Island to California and back to Indiana.

Leslie Rob is a teacher and award-winning standup comedian. Her mission is to bring clean, comedic entertainment and encouragement to teachers on stages and newsfeeds worldwide. She is from Virginia.

Not many comics make the cover of The Wall Street Journal, have released eight 100-percent clean comedy videos, warm up audiences for Hollywood’s top sitcoms, can perform the entire Bible in under 30 minutes, or have written and directed a feature motion picture. Meet Robert G. Lee.

June Colson is a comedian, writer, and podcaster born in Indiana and raised in the Bluegrass State. She holds the prestigious title as 2020’s Nashville Clean Comedy Champion.

Hailing from Texas, Dorie McLemore is a storyteller and joy-bringer who believes that caffeine is keeping her alive, popcorn should be its own food group, and that true joy comes from knowing that we are worthy of God’s love in the middle of our imperfections.

From Arizona, Mike James’ brand of humor fueled by his general confusion of being a husband, father, and just a human being keeps his audiences laughing.

Also from Arizona, Brian Kohatsu spent 20 years as an award-winning director before stepping away from the camera for a career in comedy. He quickly found success in radio and gained national recognition when he was featured on Sirius/XM radio.

Comedian Christy Conder has been pursuing clean comedy and bringing laughter to all ages. She has performed at Zanies in Nashville, Gutty’s in Indianapolis, various churches and special events, as well as being the warm-up comedian for The Huckabee Show.
