Randy Liedtke is a Los Angeles based Stand Up Comedian, Actor, and Writer. He delivers a silly mix of strangely smart childish jokes and creative unorthodox bits. He makes both the absurd and surreal hilarious and somehow logical. In 2015 his Half Hour special on Comedy Central aired and his debut album on Comedy Central Records "I'm on a Roll" broke into the top ten on iTunes. He has also performed Stand Up on Conan, Late Night with Seth Meyers, Adam Devine's House Party, and Last Comic Standing. LA Weekly named him one of 10 Comedy Acts to Watch in 2015 and the Village Voice said he's "maddeningly great". He was one of Comedy Central's Comics to Watch in 2013 and was a stand out at the prestigious Just For Laughs Festival in Montreal as part of the New Face showcase in 2014. You may have seen him on Comedy Central's @midnight, IFC's Maron and Comedy Bang Bang, or heard his voice on Cartoon Network's Adventure Time.

Opening for Randy is 10 year old comedian Saffron Herndon. Saffron is a stand up comedian who writes her own material. She started out doing stand up because her dad did it and she begged him to let her perform. She was told that she would need 3 minutes of material to do an open mic. She wrote 3 minutes of material and started performing at any open mic that would let her in the door. After about 6 months she was featured on WFAA's channel 8 website as a new up and coming stand up comedian in the DFW area. She has since performed at local venues such as Hyena's Comedy Club, Dallas Comedy House, The Gas Monkey, The Backdoor Comedy Club, The Kessler Theatre and many more. She has also performed outside of the DFW area. In the past year she performed at Gilda Radner's Laughfest in Grand Rapids, Michigan. She recently was a featured performer at Out of Bounds Comedy Festival in Austin. Saffron was a semifinalist in the Funniest Comic in Texas. She recently performed at The Stand in NYC.

Your show host is Oklahoma's own Ryan Drake. Per the Oklahoma Gazette, "Ryan wears many hats, and each of those hats will make you smile. The Oklahoma City comedy darling can be found doing stand-up throughout the city on any given night, his voice can be heard on Pairadime Music Radio on KOSU and his words can be read on The Lost Ogle."
