Midtown Comedy Club: Daniel Simonsen, Adam Strauss, Zach McGovern, Sheba Mason, Jonathan Ziegel & special guest

Daniel Simonsen is Norwegian/Chilean stand-up and writer who made his US late- night debut on Late Night with Seth Meyers. He can be seen in Stavros Halkias’s new film, Let’s Start A Cult. He has appeared on CC Stand-Up Featuring, The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, Stavvy’s World, and recurred on Comedy Central’s This Week at the Comedy Cellar.

Zach's been doing comedy for over 8 years in NYC and a little bit in LA. He's been on TV for a few one line parts but nothing crazy. He used to be a warm up comic for a show that only stay at home moms and people in nursing homes had time to watch, which is why it got cancelled. Now you can catch him all around New York and all over the country if you like comedy shows in VFW halls and fill-in entertainment at corporate retreats.

Born into a theatrical family – Jackie Mason (comedian) and Ginger Reiter (playwright) – Sheba has been performing since the age of two as a stage prop in her mother’s play where she sat in her high chair and drank from her bottle. Eventually the bottle turned into a microphone, and Sheba has not left the stage since. She has appeared in Comedy Clubs and for Special Events throughout the country. Sheba performs nightly in comedy clubs in Manhattan spouting her unique witticisms, on everything from politics to Grandmas to being single in New York.

Adam Strauss’s work has been called many things, mostly adjectives. He won the New York Fringe Festival's Overall Excellence Award for Solo Performance and the Leffe Beer Craft Your Character storytelling competition. He's lost too many things to mention here. The New York Times said* he "mines a great deal of laughter" and Time Out New York called his solo show The Mushroom Cure "a true-life tour de force" and named it a Critics' Pick. He can be conveniently stalked at www.adamstrauss.com. --- *technically, wrote** ** technically, the Times didn't say or write anything, as it's not a sentient entity. It was actually a writer employed*** by the Times. *** or, possibly, a freelancer

Jonathan is a born and bred NYC comic. With a background in self-deprecation and a passion for the absurdly relatable, Jonathan has been delighting audiences with his unique brand of silliness across NYC, and other cities like DC, Memphis, Maine, Edinburgh and Paris, where he's known as "Le Big Deal".
