About the Comedians
Vishnu Vaka is an up-and-coming comic performing all over NY and NJ. Originally from India, he went through 14 schools by the time he hit 5th grade. He moved to the U.S. as a teenager, and he loves it. He got fat and became an American citizen—in that order. Vaka is doing his part by being the best comedian on the land. He believes people who take themselves seriously are nincompoops. Recently toured with Russel Peters.
Jon Bramnick is the funniest lawyer in NJ. He has headlined clubs throughout the North East and recently returned from sold out engagements in Florida. Bramnick is modest or this bio would be very long.
