Party: Blue Whale Comedy Festival Presents: Maronzio Vance and Ashley Barnhill

Blue Whale Comedy Festival is pleased to present Maronzio Vance and Ashley Barnhill on Saturday, September 10th at 6:00 pm! This show location will be located at The Hunt Club. Tickets ($10) are available at www.bluewhalecomedyfestival.com, or you may enter with VIP priority or weekend passes, also available online.

Maronzio Vance is a Los Angeles based writer, actor, and comedian. His blunt, sarcastic and witty style has landed him appearances on Wanda Sykes: Wanda Does It, Jamie Foxx's Laffapolooza, Last Comic Standing, and The Tonight Show. In 2012 Maronzio wrote on Fox's pilot remake of In living Color and shot a half hour special for Comedy Central that same year. In 2014 he was a regular on Fox's comedy series Enlisted and has appeared in several national Miller Lite Commercials. Maronzio's curmudgeonly nature paired with raw intelligence is highlighted in his debut comedy album Laughmatic, where he seamlessly moves from deep political commentary to extremely relatable complaints of the average American experience. With a comfortable stage presence, he continues to tell stories and perform stand-up regularly throughout Los Angeles and all around the country. His passion for hip-hop, sports, and comics becomes apparent through his engaging commentary on stage. He will next be seen starring in Lopez, a new TV Land series starring George Lopez, as a series regular, essentially playing himself, as the character Maronzio.

Ashley Barnhill has become known for her dark and compact one-liners. This past July she was selected for Just for Laugh's New Faces of 2015. She has also been touring the nation with Dave Chappelle and Marc Maron. You can catch her on this year's Funny or Die's Oddball Comedy Festival. She's also performed at festivals such as SXSW, Moontower and Bridgetown. Splitsider named her one of The Next Wave of 2015's: Up-and-Coming Comics in Los Angeles.

Also, a filmmaker, Ashley has written, directed and acted in many of her own shorts that have been front-page featured on Funny or Die and Huffington Post. She wrote, produced and acted in the sketch "#blessed," which the Huffington Post referred to as "a twisted take on daily affirmations." It was also an official selection of Chicago's Gold Coast Film Festival and a finalist in Funny or Die and Los Angeles Film Festival's Make 'Em LAFF contest. She recently released the sketch "Where Do You Want To Eat?". Ashley is also a Top 10 Finalist in Ben Affleck and Matt Damon's Project Greenlight. The Top 10 represent 0.2% of the 5,000+ submissions. The docu-series will air on HBO in September.
