Johnny Pizzi: With more than 20 years experience Johnny is a sure fire crowd pleaser.

Kelly MacFarland:
As an experienced stand up comedian, Kelly has an extensive and well-rounded resume including comedy clubs, theaters, colleges and several television appearances. She has been the opening act for the international craze, Puppetry of the Penis. She has opened for Melissa Etheridge and LeAnn Rimes at both the Cape Cod Melody Tent and South Shore Music Circus. Kelly has appeared on Comedy Central’s Premium Blend. Kelly worked along side Fred Willard as part of the rambunctious news team of “TV Network” on Turner Entertainment’s broadband site, SuperDeluxe.com. Kelly is currently traveling the country with the Loretta LaRoche Women in Comedy Tour. Aside from being an accomplished stand up comedian; Kelly is working her way to being a successful humor-wellness speaker. Speaking to diverse groups of individuals about fitness and health, she shares her life long journey to becoming an athlete through weight loss and acceptance of herself. Sharing her life experiences in the unique way that only she can, Kelly leaves audiences pleasantly surprised by her candor. She captivates the crowd with her charm, and her refreshing yet playful point of view makes her irresistible. Her alluring smile and intense energy keeps the audience wanting more.
Jim McCue:
A mixture of witty “A-list material” and his ability to work off-script has earned Jim McCue the title “Boston’s King of Crowd Work!” It’s not only his height of six foot six that makes Jim stand head and shoulders above club comedians of the “stick-to-the-script” variety. Jim blends thought-provoking material and uncanny improv skills with a style that encourages audience participation. No two shows are ever the same! Jim has been featured on Comedy Central, Comcast Comedy Spotlight, NBC’s “Last Comic Standing,” and “Roughing It” on NESN in his native New England. Jim also founded and currently runs The Boston Comedy Festival, New York Comedy Competition and Cheers Comedy Club. He works in top comedy clubs in Boston, Las Vegas, New York, Dublin, Montreal, Sydney and Edinburgh. Since 1999 Jim has also entertained U.S. troops at more than 100 bases around the world. An account of his experiences performing for the troops has recently been published in Embedded Comedian which Jim describes as a “field manual for comedians in a war zone.” With his unique act, Jim keeps the audience on its toes. Volleying between set material and working the crowd, Jim cracks jokes with amazing timing and whip-like precision. A unique blend that is sure to leave the audience roaring with laughter!
Boston comedy heavy-weights come together to raise money for fellow comedian Bobby Sieble who has been diagnosed with brain cancer. Hosted by Johnny Pizzi with performances by Kelly MacFarland, Stephen Bjork & Jim McCue.
