ZAINAB JOHNSON

Zainab Johnson is a stand-up comedian, actress, and writer. She is quickly being propelled as one of the most unique and engaging performers on stage and screen.

Zainab’s comedy is based on her unique point-of-view, which was shaped growing up in Harlem as one of thirteen siblings in a black Muslim family.  After getting a degree in Education and Math and taking a job as a teacher, she quickly learned that she had a different calling...

Zainab debuted her very first one hour comedy special “Hijabs Off” on Amazon Prime Video, is currently a series regular on the Amazon Original hit series titled "Upload" from Greg Daniels, she is one of the hosts for Netflix's show "100 Humans", and starred as Dr. Hanniel in the brilliantly written web series Avant-Guardians. She made her first late night stand up appearance on NBC's Late Night with Seth Meyers  and had breakout appearances on HBO’s All Def Comedy,  NBC’s Last Comic Standing, and has performed at the JFL Comedy Festival in Montreal first as a "New Face of Comedy", then as one of  "Variety's Top 10 Comics to Watch", and most recently on the longest running JFL show "Just For The Culture". She is a paid regular at The Comedy Store, The Improv, and Laugh Factory in Los Angeles as well as the Comedy Cellar in New York City.

KRISTIN HERSH

Kristin Hersh’s extraordinary four-decade music career is bookended by stints in Throwing Muses – the band she co-founded at age 14 – who blazed across the US grunge scene until their hiatus in 1997. She then continued to tour and release critically adored records, both solo and with her new band, 50FOOTWAVE. Throwing Muses regrouped in 2002, and Hersh also began to chronicle her life in book form, penning three memoirs. In her latest book, "The Future of Songwriting," Hersh meditates on the future of her craft and considers her future as a songwriter.
