District 142
Jason Vest, a retired veteran who traded his boots for a microphone, brings a unique perspective to comedy. As a multi-platform viral content creator, he's amassed 150,000 followers in the last three years, using his digital platform not only for laughs but also as a mental health advocate. His brand of humor is a bizarre mix of the unexpected and the insightful, tackling everything from the silly to the absurdly profound.
Jason has graced stages at comedy clubs like the Chicago Laugh Factory, Chicago Comedy Bar, Kenosha Comedy Club, and Comic Strip Live. He's also a former regular host of the "Future of Comedy Show," Michigan's longest-running comedy production. His voice has hit the airwaves on KROQ's Loveline, where he delves into the weird world of feet. Plus, he's shown his hosting chops with the '90s band Lit.
Jason has made a name for himself on the "Kill Tony" show, the largest live online podcast recorded at the Comedy Mothership in Austin, Texas, where he's appeared twice and won the Big Joke Book award, proving he can find comedy in the silliest places. His humor doesn't just reflect society; it holds up a funhouse mirror to it, making us laugh at our own ridiculousness.
Jacob Barr began doing stand up in 2015 while still in high school. Barr uses his unique perspective on life to entertain audiences across the Midwest and beyond. He plays colleges and recently headlined The Detroit House of Comedy. Barr has opened for comics such as Tony Hinchcliffe, Big Jay Oakerson, Joe List, and Chris Gethard.
