Josh Johnson
Josh Johnson is a Texas comedian from the Stop Six neighborhood in Fort Worth. He has been performing comedy for 15 years, and has been previously featured here at The Kessler on three occasions, including as the host of the Homage Nation comedy show on Halloween Night in 2015. Be sure to listen closely to his material, because it works on more than one level.
KeLanna Spiller
“KeLanna Spiller, originally hailing from Pine Bluff, AR, now calls Dallas, TX home. In just a few short years, she's graced the stages of renowned comedy venues like the Addison and Arlington Improv alongside national headliners. Her talent landed her as a finalist in the prestigious Funniest Comic in Texas competition at the Improv Comedy Club. Spiller's dynamic storytelling and keen observational humor have earned her a cherished spot among Dallas' comedy scene favorites. However, it was her unforgettable Comedy Central television debut on Kevin Hart Presents: Hart of the City that catapulted her onto the global stage. Since then, she's been delighting audiences at clubs across the globe with her infectious energy and wit.“
Dante Martinez
The youngest child of immigrants Dante grew up stomping around the suburbs of Dallas. Growing up and never quite fitting in Martinez finger-paints a picture of a man trying to find himself while always disappointing his parents. Starting from going to college to learn how to become an actor and then soaring to such great heights as waiting tables deep into his 40’s Martinez tells the story of a working class Latino artist trying to figure out why people are laughing at him.
Amanda French
Amanda French came on the comedy scene later in life but made a quick impact in a short time. Amanda loves any chance to get on stage and every opportunity to make people laugh. She has been featured at the Plano Comedy Festival. She has performed with Usama Siddiquee, Paul Varghese, Luz Pazos and Jerry Garcia. Amanda can be seen performing all over the DFW metroplex. When she’s not performing, she is a stay at home dog mom. She is raising three dogs with her husband.
Miles Francis
Miles Francis is a comedy fan favorite on the Dallas and Ft. Worth stand-up scene. He combines his improv and podcasting background to create high energy and thought provoking comedy. Miles also produces and hosts the Best Darn Diddly Podcast, a Simpson’s review show. Miles embiggens laughter with his irreverent perspective and his cromulent spirit
