After years of writing about comedy, Amma decided to take to the stage – on the nudge of a dare set for her by her podcast co-hosts. In the years since, she’s shared the stage with comics like Eric Andre (Adult Swim, ABC), Jay Jurden (The Problem with Jon Stewart), Alingon Mitra (The Daily Show), Mia Jackson (Comedy Central), and Leighann Lord (Tough Crowd with Colin Quinn), performs regularly around New England and the Mid-Atlantic, and appears as a recurring panelist on The Great Pop Culture Debate podcast. She’s a co-founder of FODball Productions, a series of mics and shows dedicated to showcasing “FOD-ball” comedians (or those who are typically the ‘first, only, or different’ of their kind on comedy lineups), and producer of Pantry Raid Comedy, an online comedy show that allows comedians to share their favorite jokes – and their strongest food-based opinions.

Steph Dalwin (she/her) is a Boston-based standup comedian. She draws inspiration from her upbringing in a Vietnamese and Jewish household and in everyday situations like shopping while plus size, trips to the grocery store, and her quest for the perfect chicken nugget. Steph has performed at the Far From Here Comedy Festival in Toronto and opened for Jay Jurden. She will also be featured on PBS Stories from the Stage. When she's not performing, Steph produces shows throughout the Boston area. She is a co-founder of FODball Productions, a comedy production collective that supports comedians who are First, Only, or Different: women, people of color, queer folks, etc.

Ira Claybourne is a queer southern born female(ish) comedian now living in Boston. Over the past few years, they made folx laugh throughout California, Massachusetts, Maine, Georgia, South Carolina, and Toronto, Canada, where they  hosted and produced the  'BLESS OUR HEARTS' comedy show in the Far From Here Comedy Festival! Ira recently joined the New Normal team and is so excited to be funny!

Ian Webster is a recent transplant and has performed all over Pennsylvania and New York, including the Bethlehem Musikfest Comedyplatz and the Easton Laffest. He has opened for Ophira Eisenberg and Brian Posehn. He is scuba certified, a bonsai hobbyist, and budding carpenter. He has been described as a library. A fun one. 

Roya Hamadani has performed at the Philly Punchline, the Bechdel Test Fest, and venues all over the Northeast.  She has opened for Todd Barry, Michael Ian Black, and Judy Gold. Her other comedy love is sketch, which she writes, directs, and produces with her group Pigeon City Sketch Comedy (check out their YouTube channel, it is insane).  Her video sketch Skweezy Moosh, a scathing view of women's shapewear, was accepted at the Vermont Comedy Festival.  Her newest sketch, The Bride, poses the age long question, "What would happen if men got their periods?"
