Across Zanies, The Den, and the Hollywood Improv, Grace has opened for acts like Esther Povitsky, Amber Autry, Michael Ian Black, Sydnee Washington, Moshe Kasher, T Barb, and more. She's written for Reductress and the BOB & TOM Show, and just released an original web series she wrote and starred in for Laugh Factory, "C U Next Tuesday."

Jay Flats has spent the past 26 years thriving in Los Angeles as an accomplished Actor, Host, Audience Warm-Up, and Stand-Up Comedian. His dynamic hosting career ranges from leading the in-flight game show The Game Plane to emceeing a mock awards ceremony for Hell's Kitchen alongside Gordon Ramsay. For a decade, Jay energized fans as the In-Arena Host for the Los Angeles Kings, where he gave away 11 Toyota vehicles and helped rally the crowd as the team captured two Stanley Cup Championships (2012 & 2014). Beyond the ice, Jay has brought his humor and charisma to stages across the country. He has entertained audiences nationwide while touring with The Harlem Globetrotters as an announcer, and with The Magic School Bus Live!, inspiring kids and families alike. Remarkably, he has worked and spent the night in all 50 states. Recently, Jay has taken his talents to the concert scene, hosting live music events for Hitkor, a new streaming platform for live performances.
