[Just for Laughs Comedy Festival]

Performing for audiences all over New England since 2009, Emma Willmann quickly made a name for herself on the Boston comedy scene by winning first place in The Beantown Comedy Riots. Expanding on that buzz, Willmann moved to NYC where she has become one of NYC's hottest new comedians. Recently named by TimeOutNY as one of New Yorks 10 Funniest Female Comics, Willmann was also in the top 10 at The New Yorks Funniest Competition at Carolines on Broadway, headlined her own show in The 2014 New York Comedy Festival, and featured on Live at Gotham on AxisTV. Launching into acting, Emma has landed roles on the ID Discovery Network, True Crime, Oxygen, and Bravo.
Engaging the audience with personal biographical material of growing up dyslexic and gay in rural Maine, Emma rocks the stage with a confident, tell-it-like-it-is attitude that keeps the audience engaged, laughing, and left wanting more.


Kenny DeForest is a 5 year stand up comedy veteran based in Chicago, IL. Labeled a hustler by his peers, Kenny's comedy can be described as edgy, smart and honest. Since arriving in Chicago, Kenny has become a regular performer at Chicago's top clubs and showcases including Laugh Factory, Comedians You Should Know, and the widely released "Chicago Mixtapes: Comedy Mixtape"; all after being named "Favorite Newcomer 2010" by comedyofchicago.com. The most important thing of note is that Kenny always has as much fun performing as audiences do watching him.
