Susan Riceloves to make people laugh. She began her professional comedy career in 1983 and at present is still making people laugh. At 70 Susan Rice has found a broader range of audience than she remembers ever having as a young comedian. She appeals to both young and old. Reminding everyone that humor has no age limit and laughter is the one human emotion that heals.
Scott Losse is a stand-up comedian from Seattle, Washington. He was the winner of the 2013 Northwest Comedy Competition and a year later was a semi-finalist in the Seattle International Comedy Competition. He appeared on Laughs on Fox. Yes, that was a thing. In 2016 Scott released an album called "Popular Donuts." It's on Spotify. In 2017 he recorded a special for Dry Bar Comedy called "Okay." It's on the Internet. It's clean. You can watch it at church.
