Carolyn Plummer (Headliner)

God help us. Some comics rely on the monumental events of the day or the faux pas of the rich and famous. Not Carolyn. She pulls material from the hum-drum, day-to-day monotony of the life of everyman — and she does it well. Carolyn learned early on that she could lament or she could make fun. Possessing an uncanny ability to introspectively pull from places most of us hide, Carolyn puts a nail through the heart of whiners, self-loathers, and the self-sorry of the world and makes the average seem hilarious and larger than life. Most of all, Carolyn’s twisted perception of our common existence leaves audiences hysterically shaking heads in agreement with her assessment that the world is indeed a very funny place.

He’s come a long way from his nights of frying up mozzarella sticks in the back room of a popular Boston comedy club. Today, Bjork is a polished veteran of the highly competitive Boston comedy. His material is intelligent and accessible, but first and foremost, it is funny.  Bjork takes everyday life and turns it upside down in a way that every demographic in any given audience can enjoy.

More recently, she was named “Best of the Fest” during the 2022 Burbank Comedy Festival in Los Angeles. When she isn’t performing, Rachel is doing God’s work as a Special Education teacher.

Becca Wolinsky is a future physician by day and Boston area stand-up comedian by night. She uses stand-up to pay her medical school tuition. You can find her telling jokes and occasionally tap dancing in her hotdog suit all over New England. She also hosts and produces a monthly show in Somerville called Rebel Hen Comedy, featuring underrepresented comedic voices in the area.
