Jeremy Pryal started doing stand-up in Scranton when he was 17. He opted to stay out of the Marines and chase success in comedy. He spent eight years in Philadelphia before a bad set and the personal issues took him off course. Now married with a son and back in Scranton, he's back on stage and making people laugh again.

Chris Dolan started doing stand-up at a comedy class at the Helium Comedy Club in Philadelphia when he was 46. He's been writing ever since. It's all thanks to his wife, who pushed him in the right direction. He's been able to find a home in the scene -- even it's as some comedians' "dad." He's been producing shows with Subourbon Comedy for the last six-plus years. They're bringing in Steven Rogers for a show at the Brothers Kershner Brewing Co., in Skippack, Pa., on Saturday, March 29 at 8 p.m.

Dana Charitonchick studied biology at West Chester University and had a career as a scientist before jumping into stand-up when she was 30. She's four years in and has her footing in the Philadelphia scene. She's been able to keep those worlds separate, though it has played a role in her comedic style. She's been keeping busy on the sketch side, too. She's been writing and performing them and is releasing 12 sketches in March under Dana Jokes Around. She's running a stand-up show, the Comedy Jam, at Windish Studios in West Chester, Pa., on Saturday, March 28.

Kevin Andrews started doing stand-up in Buffalo when he was 33 years old. He's about two years in, but he's already produced shows and works pretty consistently. It's a good thing his mom said she'd be disappointed if he didn't give it a shot. He grew up watching sitcoms and wanted to create the laughs himself.

David Britton started doing stand-up at the Comedy Attic in Bloomington, Ind., about 13 years ago. He's in Schenectady, N.Y., now, where he's also acting, writing and directing. He produces comedy shows and gets on stage as much as he can. He wrotes for The Hard Times and works with Murder Cafe, a comedic-murder theater company in Rosendale, N.Y. He's got two albums, "History of the Universe" and "Possum Pals," a split with Megan Gilbert. Most important: He knows exactly what not to say in front of 400 lesbians.

Gerrit Elzinga fell in love with stand-up early and got onto his first stage at 15 years old. He's been telling jokes for almost 19 years, despite being only 33. He's the house emcee at Dr. Grin's Comedy Club in Grand Rapids, Mich., and is hoping to have his fourth album out this summer. He only spent a year in New York City, but it was long enough to grab an awkward moment with Jim Gaffigan. Also, he's got history with Dane Cook. But it's funny.
