Nick Morgan

The first Rooftop Comedy Series show will be hosted by Nick Morgan, who has been performing stand-up and improv for the past ten years. Nick isn't a magician or a maitre d', but due to a scheduling mishap his head shot was taken on the same day he got married. Nick trained at The Second City in Chicago and performed improv for seven years in the windy city before moving to Washington D.C. where he taught and performed at the Washington Improv Theater. 

 

Mike Szar

The featured opening act is Mike Szar, a Toledo native and one of the hardest working comedians in the Midwest. He has opened for Brad Williams and Bobcat Goldthwait and toured regionally. His exasperated but hopeful observations have made him a comedic talent to watch from the fertile rust belt comedy underground. Check out his website here.

 

Brad Wenzel

The headline comedian will be Brad Wenzel, known for his offbeat, one-liner style of comedy. Fresh off his appearance on Conan, Brad's career took off in 2012 when he was selected by Ricky Gervais as a finalist in the Conan Just Sayin' Contest. In 2013, Brad made his festival debut at Laughfest in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Later that year, he took first place at The Cleveland Comedy Festival.

In 2014, Brad performed at the Limestone Comedy Festival, was a finalist in Funny or Die's "Road 2 Oddball", and was selected to be one of the "New Faces" at the prestigious Just For Laughs Festival in Montreal. In 2015, he performed at Riot LA, returned to the Limestone Comedy Festival, and won first place at the Great American Comedy Festival which is held in Norfolk, Nebraska to honor Johnny Carson.

Brad has opened for comedians such as Brian Posehn, Kathleen Madigan, Gilbert Gottfried, Pete Holmes, Louie Anderson, Jerrod Carmichael, and Patton Oswalt. Brad is from Monroe, Michigan and is a graduate of the University of Toledo. Take a look at his website here.
