Midtown Comedy Club: Daniel Simonsen, Sean Conrad, Marcus Monroe, Sheba Mason, Adam Strauss, Marty Cunnie

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.

Marcus Monroe is an NYC based comedian. He is the winner of the prestigious Andy Kaufman Award and his show is a Time Out NY and a 4x New York Times Critics’ Pick. Marcus recently performed at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival gaining numerous five-star reviews and was chosen as the Evening Standard’s Pick Of The Fringe. Other notable performances include Bonnaroo, Outside Lands, SF Sketchfest, the New York Comedy Festival, and even an appearance on the Late Show. His off-beat delivery and playful crowd work make him one of the most exciting comedians to watch. 

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.
