ABOUT
ADRIANNE
CHALEPAH:

"Adrianne Chalepah (she/her/they/them)’s early days in entertainment can be traced to Fort Lewis College in Durango, Colorado. While in college, she honed her skills in film production, journalism, and stand-up comedy.

Upon graduating with honors, Chalepah joined the popular Native stand-up group, “49 Laughs Comedy,” and co-founded “Three Sisters Comedy.” Both groups gave her the opportunity to perform in nearly all 50 U.S. states and a couple of Canadian provinces.

A 2021 Yes and Laughter Lab Finalist, and recipient of the inaugural TimeWarner Media IAIA Creative Writing Scholarship, she holds an MFA in Creative Writing. Her published literature can be found in Betsy Bird’s “Funny Women.”

She was a featured comedian at CloudTop Comedy Festival and Traverse City Comedy Fest. You can also catch her on FX’s “Reservation Dogs,” Peacock’s “Rutherford Falls,” and Netflix’s “Spirit Rangers.” In addition, Adrianne is a boarding school graduate, a member of the Kiowa Tribe of Oklahoma, and a mother of four. She is also a proud Chalepah from the Apache Tribe of Oklahoma."

FEATURED
ACT:

CARYN CARSON
"Caryn Carson’s stand-up comedy reflects the life she’s lived: high-strung, a little awkward, and a little disappointing to her parents. She has developed her craft in the North Texas and Albuquerque comedy scenes and has performed in shows and festivals in several states. Her jokes hit on topics such as marrying late to get an early start on AARP spousal benefits, faulting Michael Strahan for being late to work, and looking like the naive first wife in every Lifetime Channel Original Movie. Audiences feel better by comparison about their own lives, making her comedy a win-win for all."

SUPPORT:

CARLA VASQUEZ
"Carla Vasquez is a stand-up comedian based in Albuquerque, New Mexico. She grew up in national parks across the country, with a Chicano father and a Mexican mother. Inspiration for her jokes come from nature, Latino culture, and her queer identity. Carla is part of the Dry Heat Comedy club staff and produces their offsite show & hosts 2 weekly open mics. She has worked with Joey Medina, Steven Rogers, Sheng Wang, and Laurie Kilmartin. Whether the jokes are informative, dark or dirty, it’s always bound to be a silly energetic time with Carla Vasquez on stage!"

JARED OSTROM
"Jared Ostrom is a playfully dark stand-up and sketch comedian from Albuquerque, New Mexico. He has produced videos for his sketch collective "Those Who Oppose" online, and he has opened for Kelsey Cook and Jim Jefferies on stage!"

SARINA OCHOA
"Sarina is an MMA fighter turned comedian. Her MMA career was unfortunately cut short when she discovered that she was funny. In 2024, Sarina made a big splash in the scene as the Runner-Up at the One Liner Madness competition. She’s opened for Laurie Kilmartin at the 2024 ABQ Funny Fiesta, Mat Alano-Martin (producer of the Limestone Comedy Festival), and George Perez at Quezada’s Comedy Club. Sarina, 2025's 1st First Fridays Comedy Contest Winner, is one to watch as she climbs to new heights in the comedy world, further cementing her place as one of the city’s most exciting up and coming comedians"
