He has also performed as "Shady" in a solo act and as part of the comic duo "Tu Shay De." He started his career on Chicago's south side being trained by some of today's top working comics. His first T.V. appearance as a stand-up was in 2000 on BET's Comicview, but he has also appeared on Jamie Foxx's Laffapalooza. Terry was also part of the development team that launched the "Laff Zone Comedy Club" in the Chicago suburb of Markham. Recently he was the Co-star of the web series “Rent Check” and appeared on the TV show “Family Justice” in the fall of 2021. Don't miss his return to Sonoma County!

Our Featured Comedian is Chris Ferdinandson! One of Comedy IRL's own, Chris is a veteran of the Bay Area scene with 10 years as a regularly booked comedian, performing stand up all over the Bay, including most of the major clubs. He was just 21 when he made an infamous appearance on Kill Tony shortly after self publishing his first musical comedy album. He has also opened for Sarah Tiana and Jimmy Tatro among others. His boyish charm, quick wit, and improvisational style make him a crowd favorite.

Our guest performers are Engin Yesilyemis and Levi Smith!

Engin Yesilyemis is a talented comedian hailing from Turkey, who burst onto the comedy scene in 2018 with his uproarious performances. Since 2022, he has been an integral part of Comedy IRL Productions, captivating audiences with his infectious energy, clever humor, and relatable stories. Engin's uncanny knack for finding humor in everyday situations and his sharp comedic timing have made him a beloved figure in the comedy circuit.

Levi is a Canadian born musician, stand-up comedian, sound technician, and award winning author, living and working in California’s North Bay. He likes dogs and cats equally but is more afraid of spiders than snakes. He is also an avid plant enthusiast and holds a mild disdain for bios. Levia has also produced some of the longest running shows in Sonoma County. His tight and punchy style is a joy to watch and he’s been entertaining audiences all over the bay for the last 6 years.

Jonny Stein will be your host! Jonny refuses to give me a bio because he is so exceedingly humble. You'll just have to trust me that he is a gem!
