Genevieve Rice
Genevieve Rice is a Phoenix-based comedian, human woman, and definitely not a bunch of raccoons in a trench coat. She founded Bird City Comedy Festival, which takes place in downtown Phoenix every spring. She co-hosted Thank You for Being a Podcast, a podcast about The Golden Girls with Anthony Desamito and recently launched Taste Buddies, a podcast about the best thing in the world: food. Genevieve also produces and hosts Jazz & Jokes, a monthly show that combines comedy & music to fight a common enemy: magic. She lives with her husband, two cats and a lifetime of regret.
Cierra Renee Miranda
Don't let her diminutive stature fool you, this pistol packs a punch. Born and raised in Phoenix, Arizona, Cierra Renee Miranda's fiery punchlines have been scorching the desert's comedy scene since 2008. Covering everything from the idiosyncrasies of public restrooms to the mundane events of office life, this little Latina's quick wits go unmatched. Whether you are seeing her for five minutes or 45, her curiously cantankerous views on life, love and happiness will leave you wanting more.
Trejon Dunkley
Trejon Dunkley is an actress, writer, and comedian hailing from Phoenix, Arizona. She performs all across Arizona, including hosting the #comedycorner open mic. She is a regular contributor to "The Bigger Picture" on Medium. You can follow her on Twitter, Facebook, Medium and Instagram @trejondunkley, where you can get her insights on feminism, media, and dead queens.

Iesha Renee
Iesha Renee is the Queen of the Mic. Down to earth, sexy, fun and vibrant.
