As seen on CONAN O’BRIEN, BBC, AXSTV, ABC, GOTHAM COMEDY LIVE 

Orlando Baxter exploded onto the Boston comedy scene in 2005. His fresh perspective and unique relatability soon made this former high school teacher a fan favourite and led to a string of positions in all over the world including NBC’s ‘Stand Up for Diversity’, Boston Comedy Festival, Montreux Comedy Festival, Johannesburg International Comedy Festival, Edinburgh Fringe Festival, Turku Comedy Festival, and the Melbourne Comedy Festival. Orlando currently tours across the country performing at clubs and colleges at home and overseas, and when he's not doing his own thing, you can catch him on the road opening for Whitney Cummings and Jo Koy. In 2016, Orlando made his late night TV debut on the Conan show on TBS.

According to a bunch of girls he’s dated, Cory Michaelis will shock you with some of the things he says but do it in a way that you’ll still find him charming. He talks about his high school sweetheart and former wife, his new girlfriends, and his unique day job and co-workers in a way that he wouldn’t want any of them to hear. Cory just recorded his first comedy special “Collage Graduate” – 40 minutes of squeaky clean material – in Provo, Utah at Dry Bar Comedy.
