COMEDIANS

Who is 5’3″, runs an 8 minute mile, has performed for the US troops on the Comics on Duty Tour in places like Bahrain, Djbouti & Greece and also announces baseball for the Detroit Tigers? It’s the Famous Kevin Kramis!! Noted for his universal appeal, with stage presence and off-beat improvisations that captivate and involve audiences. Kevin works successfully before all kinds of folks from mature, discerning audiences at outdoor venues like DTE to the inmates at the super-maximum security prison in Mansfield, Ohio.

Kramis has opened for Tim Allen, Louie Anderson, Kato Kaelin Jeff Foxworthy, Judy Tenuta, Gabe Kaplan, Richard Jeni, Billy Gardell, Pointer Sisters, Michael Feinstein, Three Dog Night, Brian Setzer Orchestra, JJ Walker, Tim Lilly, John Heffron, Steven Wright, Jeff Hobson, and Ben Creed.

Matt Conn has performed all over the country including the World-Famous Hollywood Comedy Store and is a regular at One Night Stan’s and Mark Ridley’s Comedy Castle where he was a finalist in the Detroit to L.A. competition. He’s been described as having a whimsical balance of witty observations combined with boyish charm. Matt’s clean and cleaver humor strikes a chord with audiences of all ages.

Natural likeability, original jokes and the knowledge to make it all look made up every time…this is what Comedian Mike brings to the table.

With a strong improv background, he takes you on a trip. While working with such luminaries as Tim Allen, Jerry Seinfeld.

He headlines the Comedy Stop at the Tropicana in both Las Vegas and Atlantic City, The Comedy Castle in Detroit, Funny Bone South Bend, Spellbinders Houston and countless other clubs and colleges from New York to L.A.

Though you might be fooled by Mike’s youthful appearance, his smooth and energetic act reflects that of a comedic veteran. Mike’s infectious enthusiasm and entertaining stories keep crows in stitches. Whether a college, club or corporate audience, if you haven’t seen Mike Green, you just aren’t very cool!

If you ask Melissa Hager to describe herself, she will tell you she is just a farm girl from Frankenmuth, Michigan, a mom to two stinky boys and a wife to a messy husband. But she is much more than that. She is a comedian, a producer, a radio and TV personality, and a friend to all. But even that barely scratches the surface.

Her likeability and original approach to stand up has made her a fan favorite. She has a popular YouTube channel (MelissaHagerTV), more than 70 thousand flowers on TikTok and a strong following as a radio personality in Michigan. She is so beloved that she had a fan club of support when she auditioned for America’s Got Talent. People don’t just like Melissa. They adore her!
