About the Comedians:

Glenn Milo Price is a rising star in the comedy scene, known for his relatable humor and sharp wit. With a unique perspective as a husband and father of three daughters, Glenn taps into the everyday hilarity of family life, bringing laughter to audiences at renowned venues such as the Greenwich Comedy Club in NYC, Broadway Comedy Club, Comix Roadhouse in Connecticut, and the Stress Factory in Bridgeport.

Glenn's performances are a delightful blend of personal anecdotes and observational humor, making his comedy both engaging and accessible. His ability to turn the challenges and joys of parenting into laugh-out-loud moments resonates with audiences of all backgrounds. Whether sharing the chaos of family life or the quirks of marriage, Glenn's comedic style invites everyone to find the humor in their own experiences.

Vincent McElhone was born in New Jersey but has lived in Connecticut ever since he turned 10. Due to an Irish Catholic upbringing, his stage persona reflects his self-deprecating demeanor as well as a very conservative view on marriage, kids, politics, sports, travel, current events, family upbringing, and all other influences that have forced him to express his hilarious and genuine observations. He stays busy with such things as keeping up with his two boys, couch coaching the NY Giants and Mets, possibly selling some 1/2″ Polycarbonate sheet, and making his wife the happiest woman in the state of Connecticut. He continues to travel performing at clubs all over the country. He is very popular at the corporate level, where he relies on his experience as a plastics salesman for “customizing” a company’s needs for sales meetings, fundraisers, retirement dinners, etc. His work is extensive in political fundraisers, state and town social functions, and private family parties.

Johnny Rizzo has won the Funniest Comic in Connecticut contest and was anointed the "Funniest Man in Connecticut" by the Hartford Courant and Fairfield Weekly. He started his comedy career doing schtick to Treehouse Comedy Club owner Brad Axelrod while the first Treehouse was being constructed in 1983. Johnny's career has blossomed since those early days. This Bridgeport, CT native headlines comedy clubs and colleges all around the country. He's a favorite at The Cabaret Theatre at Mohegan Sun and is a regular at the Borgata Hotel and Casino in Atlantic City.

Born in raised in Bridgeport, Connecticut, Johnny cut his comedy teeth in some of the most hallowed clubs in New York City, including Catch a Rising Star, Caroline's, Dangerfield's and The Comic Strip. Before long, Johnny was opening all over the country for superstars including Jay Leno, Richard Belzer, Dennis Miller, Tommy Chong, Joan Rivers, "Weird" Al Yankovic, Ray Charles, Little Anthony and the Imperials, The Mamas and the Papas, Pat Cooper and Henny Youngman.
