Benny, born in Washington, DC, is of Nigerian and Ethiopian descent but spent his formative years in Geneva, Switzerland. His unique background has greatly influenced his comedic style, making him one of the Top 10 Funniest Comedians in working in Washington, DC, as recognized by The Washington Post. Benny’s comedy has an international flair, which has seen him perform not only across the United States but also in Switzerland, Mexico, and Canada, including notable appearances at Zoo Fest (Just for Laughs). Benny has shared the stage with prominent comedians such as Matt Rife, Deray Davis, Nate Jackson, Zainab Johnson, Josh Johnson, Ian Lara, and Tony Woods, all of whom have been featured on platforms like Netflix, Comedy Central, and HBO. His talent has earned him significant accolades, including 2nd place in the 2023 Seattle International Comedy Competition, Runner-Up in Magooby’s 2022 Comedian of the Year Competition, and Winner of the DC Improv’s Comedy Kumite Competition. Benny is renowned for his international appeal and unique storytelling, offering a fresh perspective that resonates with diverse audiences. His ability to weave his multicultural experiences into his comedy ensures that audiences are always left wanting more. 



Jasmine Burton is a barred attorney from Los Angeles living and working in DC. Jasmine has performed stand up all throughout the country – including Westside Comedy Club, Hotbed, Room808, DC Comedy Loft, The Port, and DC Improv – as well as opening and hosting shows for Tony Woods, Aida Rodriguez, Martin Amini, Earthquake, Zainab Johnson and other comics seen on Netflix, HBO, and Comedy Central.  She was also recently featured in the Washington Post as one of the Top 10 comedians to watch. A blend of west coast and east coast swagger, Jasmine is best known for her high energy, punchlines, and hilarious infusion of the law and her life experience into her comedy. Jasmine brings an edgy, witty, and intellectual humor that keeps her audiences at the edge of their seat… or falling out of them.
