Steph Tolev
Steph Tolev caught fire on the “BILL BURR PRESENTS: FRIENDS WHO KILL” Netflix Special. She’s opened for Burr on his most recent arena tour, has headlined across the country on her FILTH QUEEN Tour, and at home in LA, is a regular/favorite at The Comedy Store. A Canada native, Vulture recognized Steph as one of Toronto’s funniest exports in their annual COMEDIANS YOU SHOULD AND WILL KNOW. Steph can be seen in Bill Burr’s movie OLD DADS on Netflix, as well as in the upcoming feature DRUGSTORE JUNE. She’s been in Hulu’s THIS FOOL, Comedy Central’s CORPORATE, the Sarah Silverman produced PELASE UNDERSTAND ME, and has voiced characters on HBOMax’s 10 YEAR OLD TOM.
Jefferson McDonald
Whether managing the largest family operated organic farm in the Northeast or playing a Bach piano concerto for thousands of people, Jefferson always approaches things with maximum effort.  Jefferson was born into a showbiz family and seeing the success of his uncles, Daniel McDonald (Tony Nominee, Steel Pier) and Chris McDonald (Happy Gilmore, Requiem for a Dream), Jefferson dreamed of a time where he might not have to gut chickens for a living.  But he did gut those chickens, and faster than anyone else in the world. His fingers were so lightning fast, in fact, that a music teacher asked him to close his eyes and place his hands on a keyboard and imagine he was gutting something: He started playing Mozart with a natural ease and would never stop.

From that time, music would become an important part of his life.  His two records, Memphis & Man of the Road can be heard just about anywhere music exists.

As a playwright, Jefferson has written nine plays. Two of them were even produced: JERRY LEE LEWIS VS JERRY LEE LEWIS at Playhouse Stage Co and RUMPELSTILTSKIN. JERRY LEE LEWIS VS JERRY LEE LEWIS received rave reviews from Nippertown’s Patrick White who declared the inaugural production a “thrill” that “ends explosively.”

Jefferson’s pursued his passion for acting at the Moscow Art Theatre (MXAT), with Tom Todoroff at his studio in NYC, in London with Patsy Rodenberg and holds degrees from Ithaca College and an MFA in Acting from the FSU/Asolo Conservatory for Actor Training.  It is there that he worked with Andrei Malaev-Babel, whose work on Method Training techniques had a significant impact on Jefferson’s approach to character development.

At the Asolo, Michael Donald Edwards cast McDonald as Spike in Vanya and Sonia and Masha and Spike, which caused him to be featured – shirtless - in a New York Times article.  Since then, comedy and nudity have been essential trademarks for Jefferson.  In subsequent years, McDonald received critical acclaim for playing Jerry Lee Lewis in thirteen productions of the Tony Award winning musical Million Dollar Quartet. His interpretation of Jerry Lee Lewis has been described as “an unparalleled performance that defies description” (Broadwayworld) and “one of the most shockingly brilliant performances I’ve seen anywhere by anyone” (The Frenetic Peripatetic). He recently won Best Performer and Music Direction for a production of MDQ at Studio Tenn, in Franklin, TN. Jefferson hasn’t read any of these reviews, of course, and maintains a very humble disposition.

You can find Jefferson touring the world with his rock and roll band, making sketch comedy videos with his lovely girlfriend, or putting finishing touches on his new musical, THE BALLAD OF BILLY STONE WALKER.
Mark Serritella
Mark Serritella was born in Upstate New York and is the son of a secretary and a butcher. His mother probably smoked when she was pregnant, because he has almost no reaction to cigarette smoke when people light up around him... although he and his mom have never discussed this.

Mark moved away to college, graduated, became a first grade teacher and started getting on stage. He left teaching and now his time is primarily devoted to stand up, writing, producing screenplays and kicking ass.

His fans can catch him on Adam Devine's House Party on Comedy Central, AXS Gotham Comedy Live and various podcasts... some of which can be found under the 'Media' section of this very website.

Mark has done 6 tours for the troops and broken two arms while playing basketball. He can also be seen regularly at The Hollywood Improv, Comedy Store and Laugh Factory.
Taylor C Grate
Get ready to laugh until your sides ache because Taylor Grate is in the house! Hailing from the land of towering pizza slices, New Haven, Connecticut—Taylor now calls the sunny shores of San Diego, California home sweet home. Standing head and shoulders above the rest, both literally and comedically, Taylor's humor is as tall as his stature. From recounting the trials and tribulations of being too tall for doorframes to navigating the perils of low-hanging chandeliers, Taylor's life experiences are a never-ending source of comedy gold. Having traded pizza for fish tacos and snowstorms for sunshine, Taylor's transition from East Coast to West Coast has provided endless material for his comedy. Whether riffing on the quirks of Californian surf culture or the absurdity of East Coast bagel elitism, Taylor's wit knows no bounds. So, grab a seat, buckle up, and get ready to be a part of a comedic journey with polished roastmaster, Taylor Grate at the Mic Drop comedy club. Just be sure to watch out for any low-hanging punchlines—they hit hard, just like Taylor's head on a too-short ceiling!
