Fri Oct 23rd - Alex Ortiz, Sid Davis and Rabbi Bob Alper

Alex OrtizThe Powerhouse of Punchlines with the energy of a rock concert and the punchlines of a veteran pro, Alex Ortiz owns every stage he steps on. Born and raised in Chicago with proud Puerto Rican roots, Alex blends high-voltage energy and quick-fire storytelling into a style that's all his own. He's been featured on HBO's Bad Boyz of Comedy, Comedy Central's Premium Blend, BET's Comic View and Who's Got Jokes?, and has performed for U.S. troops in more than fifteen countries.  Known for his sharp timing, fearless delivery, and genuine connection with every audience, Alex turns real life into roaring laughter every single night. Crowds love him because every set feels electric, unpredictable, personal, and alive. Alex is rock-solid, easy to work with, and always leaves a trail of packed houses and repeat calls. He doesn't just do shows he delivers experiences that hit hard, land clean, and keep audiences coming back for more.

Sid Davis’ infectious humor was shaped by watching legendary comedians like Johnny Carson and Garry Shandling.  After retiring from his airline career at age 48, Sid ventured into comedy. Although he initially faced age barriers, he capitalized on a big break.  In 2012, the prestigious San Luis Obispo Comedy Festival needed a last-minute replacement, and Sid was offered the slot—a spot he’d previously been passed over for. In true “Cinderella Story” fashion, Sid was voted “Best in Fest” by festival audiences! He received the same honor from SLO audiences the following year. And then…the next year, too!  Shortly thereafter, Joan Rivers saw a clip of Sid’s performance, called him a “Walking Sit-com,” and promptly hired him as her opening act.  You’ll agree with Joan that Sid Davis transforms everyday events into comic mayhem!

Rabbi Bob Alper is the world's only practicing clergyman doing stand-up comedy... intentionally. His fresh, contemporary, and totally "unorthodox" style has been delighting audiences for over 35 years, from Hollywood's Comedy Store to The World Bank and The Montreal Comedy Festival. And his unique brand of intelligent, 100% clean humor appeals to people of all faiths.  Bob's a special favorite on the clean comedy channel of Sirius/XM radio, and he's appeared on Showtime, CNN, The Tamron Hall Show and Good Morning America. The New York Times put it succinctly:  Bob “…had the audience convulsing.”
