He’s performed at the Punchline in San Francisco and is the resident host of the Maine Comedy Festival. Ater has also appeared on “The Nite Show” with Danny Cashman and recently spearheaded a fundraising show for the Bath Food Pantry.

Mortensen hails from New Hampshire and was recently featured in the Huffington Post. She’s played clubs throughout New England along with Carolina Comedy Club in Myrtle Beach, S.C., Side Spltters in Tampa, Fla., and Coconuts in St. Petersburg, Fla.

Williams performs throughout New England and is a regular at the weekly Shaskeen Comedy Night in Manchester, N.H.
