About the Performers
Matt Conn, Jim Eliot, Ron Rigby
Matt Conn is a nationally touring comedian whose sharp wit and boyish charm have entertained audiences from coast to coast. He’s graced iconic stages like the World Famous Hollywood Comedy Store, One Night Stan’s, LaughFest, Brew HA-HA, Traverse City Comedy Club, and Mark Ridley’s Comedy Castle. Whether he’s lighting up a comedy club or headlining a corporate event, Matt brings a clean, clever style that connects with audiences of all ages.
Known for his whimsical blend of witty observations and relatable storytelling, Matt delivers laughs that linger long after the show. Offstage, he’s the author of the fictional book Trade Show and the writer/director of the award-winning short film Personal Storage. You can find both — and more — on his website MattConnComedy.com.
At 37, Jim Eliot is a married father of two kids under four — so if you see him on stage, it’s probably the only break he’s had all week. A Michigan-based comedian, James has performed across the Midwest at clubs like Mark Ridley’s Comedy Castle, Skyline Comedy Club, and The Comedy Shrine. He’s opened for Mike Vecchione and Joe DeVito, and his comedy dives into family chaos, married life, and a past that was definitely more fun than 2 a.m. diaper duty.
