Nick Adams is an award-winning comedy writer who’s worked on BoJack Horseman, 2 Broke Girls, and Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, earning WGA Awards and an Emmy nomination along the way. He builds jokes that feel effortless, which usually means they weren’t. His work balances precision and absurdity, like a plan that somehow improves when it goes slightly off track.

Tom O’Connor is a writer, comedian, and former punk rock guitarist who somehow went from loud clubs to anime, videogames, reality TV, and print without lowering the volume much. His credits include DC Comics, McSweeney’s, and the LA Times, which suggests authority figures occasionally trust him by mistake. His work blends sharp writing with the energy of a set performed in a back-room club that may or may not pass inspection.

A longtime Groundlings performer, she’s brought her stand-up to clubs and festivals nationwide and built a following with her series I’m Triggered.

Stephanie Busey is a writer who treats structure like a polite suggestion. Her work starts organized, then slowly unravels in ways that feel both surprising and suspiciously planned. She builds jokes with control, then lets them wander just far enough to find something better. Whether that’s instinct or luck remains under investigation.

She’s proof that show business doesn’t leave you, it just changes departments.

Eric Charbonnel is a producer and writer who’s worked on Funny You Should Ask, Off Campus, and the Feeding America Comedy Festival. He’s spent enough time in development to know how ideas evolve, and enough time in production to know what survives. He brings structure to chaos, or at least makes the chaos look like a plan.

Ariel Kashanchi is a writer and comic who worked on Funny You Should Ask, which explains her commitment to answers that arrive slightly sideways. Her material blends sharp observation with emotional honesty, like a truth delivered in disguise. She builds jokes that land clean, then linger just long enough to file a complaint.
