ABOUT DIANE JORGE
Diane Jorge is a… lot of things - actor, comedian, storyteller & Walter Mercado impersonator. This Miami native performs all over South Florida telling jokes and embarrassing true life stories.  In fact, she recently won The Moth StorySLAM in Miami.  When Diane is not imitating her Cuban parents or singing awkwardly on stage, she’s also performing improv & sketch comedy, including two solo improvised shows: Solovela, an improvised telenovela based on audience suggestion & Mercado de la Fortuna, an improvised show that includes very Miami tarot cards and Walter Mercado fashion.  You can follow Diane on Instagram or Twitter at @dianeisloud.
ABOUT JACK DAWKINS
Jack Dawkins is a storyteller, a rapper, and a poet. He also cooks good food and runs really far.  His use of the English language has been compared to Michael Phelps’ performance on Saturday Night Live: Wildly entertaining for none of the reasons you would expect. He is, at his core, and in his music, deeply human, and a lover of excessive comma use.   Most importantly, he loves you.
