Matt Vita grew up playing in punk bands. He got a taste for comedy while doing humorous raps between bands at shows. Then about 10 years ago, he found an open mic. Since then, he's traveled all over the country telling jokes and founded the Vermont Comedy Festival with Collen Doyle. Vita splits his time between Brooklyn and Vermont, where he has a house. He's a full-time comic now and he only wants a little more success.

Mike DiAlto started doing stand-up about 16 years ago after taking a class at the Comedy Cellar in New York City. He kept doing it in Philadelphia and has been running the mixed mic and comedy shows at John and Peter's in New Hope, Pa., for the last 14 years. He's bringing in Rich Vos for a show on Friday, June 13. He's got two kids -- that's enough for him -- so the material is writing itself. His first album, Live at John and Peter's, came out in 2019.
