Larry (Uncle Lar) Reeb

Known as Uncle Lar’, Larry Reeb is the wise-cracking black sheep, politically incorrect relative everyone knows. Like any concerned relative Uncle Lar’ wants to help. So in his own twisted way he does. He gives you “tips”. Uncle Lar’ offers tips on everything from marriage to lotteries to children. Always topping them off with, “That’s a tip from your Uncle Lar’.” Reeb is a strong, distinct, classic character, with sarcastic attitude and a sardonic wit. He conveys his concepts with rapid fire one liners. “It’s a sick world and I’m a happy guy”, Reeb proudly announces after stating his particularly twisted observations. Reeb didn’t invent obscene phone calls or adultery, but he makes his living talking about them. In a perfect world Uncle Lar’ would be unemployed.

Chris Young

Chris Young is able to take real life experiences and turn them into laughs that maintain a clean but funny appearance. Chris’s luck (or lacks there of) have lead him to look at the world through a different set of glasses. Having once been called a pessimist by a fellow classmate "he replied simply, that he is not a pessimist but an optimist, as he believes things could not get any worse!”
Chris is a frequent performer at comedy clubs, colleges and casino’s as well as corporate shows around the country. He has appeared at the Gilda's Laughfest in Grand Rapids,Mi the Laughing Skull Festival and the Canton Comedy Festival. His DryBar Special has millions of views. He was the winner of the TV20 Detroit "That's Funny" Comedy Contest on My Network, as well as a finalist in Dave Coulier's "Clean Guys of Comedy/Unbleepable Contest." Chris is also a favorite on radio stations all across the country. He has shared the stage with some of his favorite comics, including Bob and Tom's Mike Armstrong, Larry Reeb, Heywood Banks, and Dave Coulier.

Saunders Point Brewing

We love beer, we love to make it, and we love to drink it. Saunders Point Brewing started with a group of friends looking to take their appreciation of craft beer to the next level, by enrolling in Brewing 101 at the local community college. Extra study sessions were conducted at a local sports bar, and the conversation turned into a vision of someday opening a brewery. The more “study sessions” conducted, the more the momentum grew and the collective gleam in our eye of what we could achieve became brighter.

Sam Rager

Sam Rager offers audiences a charmingly dark perspective. Layering playful anecdotes with vulnerable pieces, she is able to connect with people on a deeper, yet sometimes uncomfortable level.

With the energy of an unhinged camp counselor, Sam Rager leans into grief, insecurities, and early aughts nostalgia.
