MARCELLA ARGUELLO

Marcella Arguello is a stand-up comedian, writer, and actor whose comedy knows no bounds; she eagerly discusses any and every topic that tickles her. From dating short guys - she has no other options at 6’2’’ - to being mistaken for a man, to her Latinx identity, and her take on race and gender, no wild stories and situations she’s gotten herself into is out of reach. Marcella is the host and producer of Women Crush, the hottest and most diverse stand-up show at The Hollywood Improv Lab. Her debut album, The Woke Bully - which debuted at #3 on the Billboard Comedy Charts and was named "One Of The Best Comedy Albums of 2019" by NPR Program Bullseye - is a combination of Marcella’s unique perspective and honesty which captures what it’s like to experience her life.

GINNY HOGAN

Ginny Hogan is an LA-based writer and stand-up comic. Her new humor collection, I'm More Dateable than a Plate of Refried Beans, is a laugh-out-loud exploration of the ups and downs of modern romance. Forbes named her a “rising star of satire” for her comedy. Hogan's writing has appeared in the New Yorker, Atlantic, New York Times, McSweeney's, and Vulture. WebsiteTwitter

SONA MOVSESIAN

Over her twelve years of assisting Conan O’Brien, Sona Movsesian has learned a few tips and tricks when it comes to being the world's best assistant...or has she? Through humor, wit, and illustrations, her upcoming book The World's Worst Assistant flips the script on what it means to become an indispensable employee. Movsesian also cohosts Conan’s podcast Conan O’Brien Needs a Friend, and stars in a regular IGTV show hosted on @TeamCoco every Friday called “Sona Fixes Your Life.” True to form, Movsesian regularly forgets to put Conan’s appointments in his calendar. She lives in LA with her husband and twin sons. WebsiteTwitter

BROWN CALCULUS

Brown Calculus is a Gemini musical duo that complicates the sonic expectations of the R&B genre. Voted one of Portland's Best New Bands in 2018, Vaughn Kimmons and Andre Burgos embody a sound that can only be described as a kind of "spacey soul that should be sold in health-and-wellness stores" (Willamette Week). Rooted in the Black ancestral tradition of spiritual jazz, the duo crafts trance-inducing sonic offerings geared to enwrap the listener in love. The band's first EP, Live at the Map Room was, well, recorded live in front of an intimate audience at the Map Room recording studio in Portland, Oregon. Brown Calculus is a synergistic musical project of collaboration and care that you'll want to listen to on repeat. ListenInstagram
