SOPHIE BELLONE

Sophie Bellone is a standup comedian, writer, and producer based in Los Angeles. A graduate of Emerson College with a degree in Comedic Arts, Sophie began her career writing 10-minute plays for middle schoolers, which are still produced annually. She has produced several sold-out variety shows at The Yard Theater in Los Angeles, blending stand-up with music and other clownery. Sophie is currently writing her first feature film, a stoner comedy set during the Trojan War. Sophie aspires to bring comedy to as many people as possible (technically, it's to win The Nathan's hot dog eating contest, but she's five feet tall, so that's less realistic).

JACKIE COTTER

Jackie Cotter is a regular girl but if regular meant so so so weird. She performs comedy often but not often enough. She is 23. All natural, can you believe it?

LINDSAY JAYE

Lindsay Jaye is a comedian and writer who was probably put on this earth just to vibe. When not co-writing, directing, and starring in niche podcasts such as Airrobbed, she's probably zoning out doing puzzle games or being too invested in cooking competition shows.

KAT MONDOR

Kat is a lover of all things salty, sweet, furry, round, slimy, good smelling, soft, or scary. She also likes sketch comedy, I guess.

ADAM RUSSELL

Never touched a frog.

SETH STEINBERG

Seth Steinberg is an actor, artist, and winner of multiple Gorkies including Best Gork, Coolest Gork, Best Pun Gork, and the illustrious Gork For Change award. He recently made his on-screen debut in Zia Anger’s My First Film, which is currently streaming on Mubi. By “recently” he means a while ago, but he still won’t shut up about it. He's done some shows at the yard, seen lots of shows at The Yard, and will miss the yard very much.
