Shawn was also a semifinalist on NBC’s “America’s Got Talent” and was also seen on the 2nd Season of “Bill Bellamy’s Who’s Got Jokes” on TV One.

Feature Act: Crystalle Ramey
Originally from Charlotte NC, Stand Up Comedian Crystalle Ramey took a comedy class several years ago to overcome a fear of microphones; onset by a debilitating experience in a Middle School talent show that left her running off stage, crying for her mommy. Although she no longer fears microphones, she still confidently cries for her mommy after every show. #therapy
Due to a failed depth-perception test, Crystalle missed her opportunity to fulfill her dream to become an astronaut. She quickly pivoted and became a marksmanship coach in the Marine Corps. She’s now a veteran (and will tell you about it – Marines are worse than vegans) who produces a comedy tour (The 22 Tour) dedicated to leverage the healing power of laughter to put an end to the 22 (daily) military suicides. The tour showcases all veteran comedians and is nationwide. www.The22Tour.com
Crystalle’s comedy is inspired by decades spent in corporate America, life as a Marine during the 90s and just general world observations and angst.
She was most recently a finalist in the 2020 Ultimate Comic Challenge, a featured performer in the 2020 NYC Underground Comedy festival and has participated in the NY SheDevil Comedy Festival, NC Comedy Festival and the Queen City Comedy Festival and has opened for many nationally touring headliners (Jim Norton, Gabriel Iglesias, Mike Lawrence and Andrew Santino to name a few).
