Feature

Kristine Kinsey

Kristine Kinsey is domestically challenged, romantically depraved, and maternally inept. She manages to find humor in her incompetence and has brought her twisted observations to comedy clubs across the Southeast. She has also performed in The World Series of Comedy and the North Carolina Comedy Arts Festival.

Kristine has been seen on the stand-up showcase “NickMom Night Out” on the NickMom channel, and had a small speaking part on an episode in Season 7 of Last Comic Standing. She is a regular weekend deejay on 105.3 FM in Knoxville, a college student, a massage therapist, a mom, and an unrepentant smart-ass. Apologies in advance.

Special Guests

Jennifer Lynch

Originally from southern Indiana, Jennifer now makes her home in Atlanta, Georgia. You can find Jennifer performing in clubs, bars, and basements across the United States. Recently, she performed at the biggest fetish-festival in the Southeast and The New South Comedy Festival. Jennifer will bring her comedy anywhere.

Once asked to speak at a family members funeral, she replied, “Hey, stage time is stage time.” She brings laughter to a wide variety of audiences with her delightfully dark humor, and twisted views on everyday life. Known for her quick wit, Jennifer’s ability to come up with jokes off the top of her head keeps her winning competitions and audiences.

Miss James Holdiness

The world may be filled with all different kinds of stand-up comedians. But with Miss James Holdiness…he brings “different” to a whole other level.

The comedy style that Holdiness possesses is heavily influenced by a mixture of three main ingredient…the unorthodox thoughts that continuously dwells in that mind of his, some sarcastically agnostic theories and points-of-views that are just too funny to not laugh at, and some very interesting life experiences that he brilliantly shares with the audience.

The best way to describe the brand of stand-up comedy that Holdiness does is to just call it what it is…100 percent, pure, concentrated, and raw blue humor. He has a way of bringing up topics that has his intellectually perverted stamp of approval on it. Plus, Miss James is not one to hold anything sacred. So it’s safe to say that Holdiness holds no boundaries. And with the brutal honesty that Miss James verbally unleashes as he goes against the grain of normality.

Miss James Holdiness has shared the stage with Carlos Valencia, Kristine Levine, Carmen Morales, Matt Ward, Bubbs Harris, Jake Head, Alex Stokes, Rob Shapiro, J.C. Ratliff, Mac Harde, and many other comedic geniuses.

Host

Bridgette Martin from Knoxville
