Jo Belangia (he/him, gay, Aquarius) is a Chicago-based comedian and actor with a penchant for playing down-on-their-luck characters who are optimistic against all odds. His comedy is built from the deep-seated trauma of growing up as a little gay boy in the American South. His friends and family would describe him as "a joy to have in class" with "a little sugar in him." He’s completed Second City's conservatory & grad revue program and the improv programs at iO and CIC.

Catch him at theaters around Chicago playing with his indie improv team, Blue Text Bubbles (IG: @bluetxtbubbles). If you want to keep tabs on him (and his calico cutie, Ishka), follow him @belangiajo on Instagram and TikTok.

Lily Gaddis (She/Her) is an actress, improviser, and sketch comic from Raleigh, NC. When she isn’t suffering at her day job, she enjoys giggling, sleeping, and taking walks that her friends call “too long”. Lily can be found performing around the city in whatever show or group has currently peaked her interested. She wants to thank all her friends for proofreading her ridiculous sketches, and her parents for the Blue Apron subscription they gave her for her birthday.
