LINDA DeSANTIS
You may have seen Linda at the Comic Strip (NYC), Funny Bone (Albany), or all three Governors’. Shewas honored this year when she was chosen to preform in the National Ladies of Laughter Competition. If you did not see her, she was that chick in the parking lot trying to back that boat up and flipping you the bird.

CYNDY CECIL
Cyndy was giving a speech at a conference with the hopes to move people …make them feel something…to cry. They ended up laughing their butts off. Friends suggested she try stand up, so she did an open mic in a bathrobe. It bombed. Undeterred and one mic at a time, Cyndy turned chaos in comedy and now grabs every mic she can in New York City at night, while producing television and digital content for companies like Apple TV+, Nat Geo, FX, Hallmark Channel, Consumer Reports and more by day.
