— Comics: Priya Shekar is a Bay Area comedian, showrunner, and host of Comedy Oakland. She's a Kiwi-Indian storyteller who jokes about divorce, dating apps, and life in tech. Her comedy is 90% charm, 10% "I need subtitles." She has performed at Punch Line Comedy Club and Cobb's Comedy Club.

Ilana Arbisser is a musical comedian and former member of the SF based band, Lentil. With a PhD studying theoretical statistics from Stanford, she previously worked on self-driving cars and now works on AI safety at Google.

Cassidy McDonnell is the founder, host and producer of Women in STEM, a stand up comedy show where all of the comics are women with backgrounds in science, technology, engineering, and math. After starting her career as a traffic engineer, she switched lanes into the world of software product management. Her comedy has been described (by her) as “dumb jokes for smart people.”
