Zack Chapaloni
Zack’s distinctly original stories, filled with colorful characters and unexpected punchlines, have resonated with audiences of all backgrounds. As a storyteller, Zack shared one of his Moroccan family adventures on MTV’s Greatest Party Story Ever. As an actor, Zack has appeared in the Showtime series Shameless, as well as Night of the Living Karens, a viral comedy-horror series he created with comedian Richard Sarvate. Zack has performed standup comedy all over the country, and opened for some legendary names in the industry, including Tiffany Haddish, Dave Attell and the late great Norm Macdonald. You can catch Zack every week on Hesby Street, a comedy podcast he co-hosts with comedian Torio Van Grol.
Torio Van Grol
Torio Van Grol is a comedian whose debut comedy album Magic Knees, reached #1 on the Apple comedy charts. His Don't Tell Comedy Special received millions of views and was generally perceived as pretty good. He performed as a part of Comedy Central's Cluster Fest, and regularly headlines all over the country. Torio was listed as one of the Bay Area's best stand-up comedians by SFist and won the title, Best Joke by the award-winning SF blog Courting Comedy.nnTorio Van Grol was first discovered by a gentleman naturalist in 1676, causing an uproar among the clergy, who claimed that he was placed on Earth by God as a test of faith. After much careful study, Torio has been widely accepted as real, though some controversy lingers. Many people believe that early humans coexisted peacefully with him, even caring for him and riding on his back as a form of transportation. But Torio is not strong enough to carry people, instead relying on speed, cunning and a bulletproof eBay rating for survival.
