Willie Zabar is a standup and character comedian from New York City as seen on Hulu and Time Out New York. He has performed at the International Human Rights Art Festival, SOLOCOM, and Showcation. He is also co-founder of Practically Safe Media, an animation studio specializing in hand-drawn shorts and fire safety PSAs.
Beth Farber is a stand-up comedian who has performed at comedy clubs, charity events and private parties all over New York City. She grew up in Brooklyn before “Made in Brooklyn” added value to merchandise and spent her professional career representing indigent criminals in Baltimore and New York City. These experiences, as well as being the mother of three adult children and now a bone fide Borscht Belt bubbie, are the source for her sometimes dark and always very funny comedy.
New Jersey’s Robin Fox Spent 17 years as a full-time mom on a diet. Then one day, Robin gave up dieting and decided to make her dream of being a comedian a reality. Today she is happier than she can ever remember and will never look back! Original and funny, she speaks from the heart about the frustrations of suburban living, marriage, and being an empty nester. No longer willing to just be the funniest mom on the cul-de-sac, this New Jersey mom is now a regular on the comedy scene playing at the top clubs in NYC and performing nationally.
