Sticks & Stones Comedy Presents: VANESSA HOLLINGSHEAD
Vanessa Hollingshead is one of the most brilliant, raw and legendary comics you've ever seen. She's performed all over the world and was touted as among 'Fifty of the Funniest Women Alive' by Oxygen. You may know Vanessa Hollingshead from her episode on Marc Maron’s WTF Podcast, or from the groundbreaking Showtime Special, Funny Women of a Certain Age, hosted by Fran Drescher, or from her own Comedy Central Special. The second she hits the stage, it's clear Vanessa has an insatiable love of entertaining. Instinctively, she knows how to connect with an audience. She’ll talk to them, joke with them, sing to them, or do an array of characters right off the cuff. That "need" to entertain is partly how she grew up, as the daughter of two hippy parents. Her Dad was closer to Timothy Leary than he was to her. Long story short - she was a natural-born comic and storyteller. Check out Vanessa's Drybar Comedy Special.
Rob White
ROB WHITE is a headlining comedian, writer, actor and podcaster that delights audiences with his rapid-fire, hilarious observations. A Long Island native full of surprises, Rob is an expert tattoo artist as well as a business suit-wearing, stand-up comedy standout.
Rob's comedy style is an energetic, fast-paced delivery where he shares his tales of tattooing, modern life, and other bizarre observations. He performs all over the Tri-State area and beyond – including overseas in Dublin, Ireland at the Bulmers Comedy Festival. Along with his opportunities to travel, Rob also was recently awarded first place in the Nassau County Comedy Contest.
When Rob is not performing comedy, he is working as owner and operator of The Black Duck Tattoo Company in Selden, New York alongside his wife, Dianna. With Rob’s 20+ years of tattooing, he was recently published in a book entitled “In The Shadows – The Peoples History of NYC Underground Tattooing.”
Outside of the comedy stage and tattoo shop, Rob enjoys painting, writing, cigars, and running. Fun fact: Rob completed the Suffolk County Half Marathon and is training for the New York City Marathon.
Joe Winchell
Joe Winchell is a Sag Harbor local who graduated from Pierson High School with all C’s. Joe's been doing comedy for 6 years, but he was no stranger to the road or stage as he spent most of his twenties acting and doing live theater. Since trading in Shakespeare for a microphone, he’s had the pleasure of performing at Broadway Comedy Club, Gotham Comedy Club, Comix Roadhouse at Mohegan Sun and Governors Comedy Club.
