Luca Spinoso and the Stabbing Stories

Send us a textLuca Spinoso started doing stand-up a couple years ago in Harford County, Md., a little bit north of Baltimore. He moved to Florida as a kid and came back to Maryland when he was 19. He and his buddies went to an open mic one night and they signed him up. Since then, he's joined a group of comedians called The Barrel Boys and they've been pushing each other. He's part of the Harford County Comedy Festival, which starts on Monday, Feb. 9 and goes through Valentine's Day. Also, he's done meth accidentally and gotten stabbed. But who hasn't done those things?Follow Luca Spinoso: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lucawoodspinoso/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@lucaspinoso1Support the show

Danny Pee and the Man in Manchester

Send us a textDanny Pee has been doing stand-up in Manchester, N.H., for about five years. He got the taste for it during a best man's speech at his brother's wedding. Once the pandemic came to a close, he decided to give it a go. He began hosting the open mic at Strange Brew Tavern less than three years in and is helping to produce shows with the Laugh Attic. Between raising two kids with his wife, he's been able to make his mark across the New England comedy scene.Follow Danny Pee:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/dannypeecomedy/Facebook: TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@dannypeecomedyThreads: https://www.threads.com/@dannypeecomedyYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@dannypeecomedySupport the show

She spent three years in Los Angeles before moving back home in 2020. She's married to another comedian, Tyrel Frazer, so the competition is right inside the house.

Josh Prygon and the Comedic Integrity

Send us a textJosh Prygon started doing stand-up in Buffalo about three years ago. The first two tries didn't stick, but this one has. He's part of the newer class of comedians in a very experienced scene. He's got the confidence now to tackle new topics and is working enough to keep developing at a strong pace. Plus he has his driver's license and a car, which comes in handy in Buffalo.Follow Josh Prygon: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/josh_prygon/Support the show
