Samson Koletkar was born and raised in Mumbai and moved to San Francisco to work in IT. From his beginnings as an immigrant Indian Jewish guy with zero experience with American standup, Samson brings a refreshingly new approach to cerebral, witty, thought-provoking clean humour with a global perspective. Driven by personal trials and tribulations, his socially aware comedy highlights religious, political, and social hypocrisies and issues, and day-to-day absurdities of human nature.
He is the creator of Comedy Off Broadway Oakland, The Minorities Stand Up and Mahatma Moses Comedy Tour, & is a featured performer on Funatical Comedy Tour and Make Chai Not War. He won the 2010 Asian American Theater Company Comedy Competition, has performed in India, Canada and all over U.S. & featured on Asian Jewish Life Magazine, Indian Express, CBS & NPR.

Joe Gleckler is a San Francisco-based comedian who grew up in Baltimore, went to university in New Mexico and taught English in Asia (where his students called him "Jim Carrey Teacher" - he still doesn't know why) before finally embarking on a career in standup. He has performed all over the United States; in the Bay Area, he has performed at the Punchline, Cobb’s, 142 Throckmorton Theater, Rooster T. Feather’s, Tommy T’s, and at his favorite room, Comedy Off Broadway Oakland.
Seeing Joe perform will change your life. Watch him, then give up.
