Kandace Saunders
Kandace Saunders made her comedic debut in 2006 during a comedy competition at the DC Improv. Although, she didn’t win, she didn’t get booed, and people laughed. So for Kandace, that was enough to pursue a career in standup comedy. Kandace’s sarcasm, and quick wit, coupled with her ability to turn life into “extremely laughable situations,” has allowed her to become one of today’s fastest rising comedians. You can catch Kandace at comedy clubs and colleges across the country.
Mike Brown, aka OlmikeB
Mike Brown first felt the nudge toward comedy in his hometown of Norfolk, Virginia where his affection for the art form was nurtured and cultivated.

Mike started his matriculation into comedy by hosting shows at various venues throughout the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area. Due to his friendly and engaging personality he is immediately likable, and his unique, yet earthy and energetic approach to humor led to him opening for acts like Beth Stelling, Dino Archie and Lil Rel Howery. These experiences led to the auspicious establishment of his own production company–OMBvision, in 2011. OlmikeB went on to become a regular writer for “Da Jae Spot” and the locally produced TV show “The Tommy Taylor Show.”
OlmikeB’s captivating comedy skills lends to him being a perfect fit for the big screen. As a result, he has begun work in this area. He currently possesses an IMBD credit for his role in the short film “A Family Affair”, written and produced by Tommy Taylor, Jr. This film has been a beloved favorite at many film festivals.
