High Dramma
Performing since 2008, High Dramma is a 100% independent sketch comedy troupe that seeks to combine traditional sketch comedy with elements of musical, dance, pantomime, all intertwined between live music provided by a mad banjo player into a whirlwind of high-minded vulgarity and low-brow sophistication.
Erick Acuña
Erick is a Peruvian comedian/writer based in Washington DC. He is a two time winner of ‘Best Comedy Show’ at Capital Fringe, and has had sold out runs in festivals all over North American, and the Edinburgh Fringe Festival (UK).
Jonathan Cohall
Jonathan Cohall is more than a Comedian, he is a Coneedian. He HAS to make people laugh because it is his life force. Without humor, he is but a mere mortal. While studying Improv and Sketch at UCB, The PIT, and Second City, he has also performed Stand-Up with the likes of Jo Firestone, Aparna Nancherla, Ilana Glazer, and Nate Bargatze. Jonathan was named a 2017 Improv Your Life Scholar and Newbie of the Year at The PIT as well as a winner of the 2018 NBC/UCB Diversity Scholarship. In 2022 he appeared with his sketch team Scrunchie at Austin Sketchfest and was awarded an artistic residency in Ars Nova’s CAMP program. He is currently a writer/actor with the popular New York City sketch collective BoogieManja and was featured in the 2024 NYC SketchFest. Jonathan once saw his idol Tracy Morgan on the streets of the Bronx and told him that he wanted to be a comedian one day. Tracy said “It’s already done!”
