Mike Eagan and Karen Faye & Kirsten Michelle Cills

Mike Eagan is a comedian’s comedian. This is one of those funny people that make all the other funny people stay after their set is done to watch a master. He tells the most simple stories in the most disarming – and hilarious – manner. Whether the topic is driving on a crowded highway, sharing a bathroom with his wife or visiting the family at Thanksgiving, Mike finds the humor with a quick and very sharp wit. He is so fast you can actually watch the audience trying not to laugh in fear they might miss the next side-splitting gem.

Karen Faye has an act you can see with your family, as well as your friends. She treats shows like she is at a party telling a group of people a funny story because she’s been doing that her whole life- but now she is taking her act to the stage-again and again and again for everyone to enjoy.

Kirsten Michelle Cills is a Philly-born comedian, actor, podcaster, and docuseries subject known for her bold, dry demeanor and the oxygen tank that often accompanies her. Kirsten considers herself truly blessed to spending her 20s as a terminally ill comic who will not live to see any consequences to her actions. When not correcting people’s pronunciation of her name or talking about the Philadelphia Eagles’ 2018 Super Bowl win, Kirsten is committed her addiction to the topics we aren’t supposed to discuss at the dinner table. Go Birds.
