Laughs in the Loft

Join us for Laughs in the Loft, a monthly series featuring stand-up comics from our own backyard, Brooklyn and beyond. You never know who might drop in!

Vishnu Vaka – Vishnu Vaka is an up-and-coming comic performing all over New Jersey and New York. Originally from India, he’d been in 14 schools by the time he got to fifth grade. He moved to the U.S. as a teenager but kept his accent as he loves it. He got fat and became an American citizen…in that order. Vishnu wants everyone to be happy and laughing all the time, and he’s doing his part by being the best comedian on the land (come judge for yourself!). He believes people who take themselves seriously are nincompoops.

Andy Glaser – Andy Glaser is a New Jersey native who has been a finalist in the Bud Light Ladies of Laughter. She is a regular at Gotham Comedy Club and has been seen on the reality show People’s Court (the first Laughs in the Loft comedian to have done so!).

Roy George – Roy George hails from Long Island and is a married father-of-two. His comedy explores his experiences of being a first generation Indian American born in the Bronx, raised in Queens and Connecticut. He gets the audience laughing recounting his humorous approach of going against the grain of strict Indian customs while growing up in various racially adverse settings.

Joe Matarese – Joe Matarese received a standing ovation from all four judges on Season 9 of America’s Got Talent. He’s also been seen on Last Comic Standing, Comedy Central, The Late Show with David Letterman, The Howard Stern Show, and many many more!

Scott Holt – Scott Holt is a South Orange native that has been seen on Good Morning America and Good Day New York and now “Good evening, SOPAC”!
