World Comedy Expo Stand Up Comedy

Show Lineup:

• Evan Hull (Chicago, IL) — Host
  Evan Hull was born and raised in Denver, Colorado as the middle child in a far too supportive Jewish family. Now living in Chicago, he performs on stages all over Chicago and the greater midwest with tales of vagrants kicking birds, misguided body dysmorphia, and other anecdotes told from the perspective of a “well adjusted” 25-year-old. Mothers and grandmothers love him.
• Peter Liu (Boston, MA)
  Peter is a Boston comic. He majored in chemical engineering and minored in sadness. Now makes drugs by day and laughs at night. He performs regularly across New England. He was a semi-finalist at the Boston Comedy Festival, New England’s funniest person contest and on Last ComiX Standing at the Mohegan Sun. Through stand up, he hopes to improve Asian representation in the media by relentlessly performing comedy and competing fiercely for film roles with Scarlett Johansson.
• Maria Palombi (Rome, Italy)
  Maria Palombi is an Italian comedian living in Boston. Maria recently performed during the Best of Boston Show at the 2021 Boston Comedy Festival. When she is not on the stage talking about the nonsense of this mortal existence, she is fighting for worthy social causes she cares about – like abolishing pineapple as a pizza topping once and for all.
• Joey Cerone (Bloomington, IN)
  Joey Cerone is a 20 year old Bloomington Comedian with 4 years of stand up experience. He is also the head writer of local sketch comedy group Boy in the Bubble. He is a two time quarterfinalist in the Bloomington stand up competition and he’s a pretty nice guy.
• Tanya B Crossley (Los Angeles, CA)
  Tanya B Crossley has been doing comedy ever since she came out her mama’s womb. She’s filled with nothing but love, truth and laughter. Her husband seems to think she’s his mother. Well! that’s what he tells her, when she tells him what to eat, what to drink, what to wear and how to drive. He calls it overbearing. She calls it, protecting her investment.
• Ibrahim Khalif (Newark NJ)
  Ibrahim Khalif is a NYC comedian and podcaster. Originally from Newark, NJ, Ibrahim adopted his thoughtfully abrasive sense of humor while growing up in several Newark housing projects at the height of the crack epidemic. In his career Ibrahim crafted his act in the peripheral doldrums of the NYC comedy scene, but has had the pleasure of sharing the stage with some of the best comedians in the industry. Ibrahim released his comedy album “Placebo” that debuted #1 on itunes comedy charts
