Growing up, Jody Sloane had a knack for finding humor in the darkest corners of life. Whether it was the absurdity of a government cheese sculpture or the quirks of her mother’s self-medicating with Winstons and Ring Dings, nothing was off-limits for her infectious laughter-inducing commentary. Her friends quickly learned that any situation could become a comedy goldmine with her around. Fast forward to mid-life, Sloane cut her entertainment teeth doing her sit-down schtick as a cheeky conductor on the Boston duck tours. Her duck tour experience was the perfect tee up to becoming a standup comedian. She’s now a regular at esteemed comedy venues from New York to Maine and has been featured in several comedy festivals, including Laugh Your Asheville Off, Boston Comedy Festival, and The Women In Comedy Festival.
 
Growing up, Ryan Ellington was the kid always cracking jokes with his friends. “I always felt the most comfortable when I was being funny,” said Ellington, who grew up in Wilbraham and attended Minnechaug Regional High School. “Whether it was just trying to have a good time with friends or trying to mask my insecurities, that was just kind of my role.”
