Ryan Stout
When you go see fresh faced, clean-cut, suit wearing Ryan Stout perform, you may hear some slightly objectionable material about abuse, suicide and people who cut themselves, but you’re not going to hear any swear words because there’s no need for filth in comedy. This former Boy Scout is able to sell his wickedly witty “offensive humor” to audiences because the honesty, insincerity and self-righteousness he exudes is just so darn likable. Stout was not only the winner of the Boston International Comedy Festival, he has been featured on "Conan," "Chelsea Lately," Comedy Central’s "Live at Gotham," and as the host of MTV's "Spring Break."

HoneydewGrowing up in a family that was rich in both music and the military, it was no surprise when Shawn Mullins went headfirst into both. While traveling as part of the Army reserves, Mullins performed his songs at every venue he could. And though his time with the military soon came to an end, his love of playing and working as a road musician didn’t. In the early 90’s, Mullins decided to start his own label and began recording albums. After releasing seven independent efforts, Shawn recorded Soul’s Core, which included the song Lullaby, which caught the ear of a radio programmer in Mullins' hometown. Lullaby soon was topping the music charts and was even nominated for a Grammy. The album also enjoyed continued success, going platinum in the U.S. and Australia. Since then, Mullins has gone on to collaborate with a number of other musicians and has released four more studio albums, including his new project, Honeydew.
