ROYA HAMADANI

Roya Hamadani is a Lehigh Valley native who flew the coop to Massachusetts where she continues to do stand up and produce sketch comedy. She wrote and directed the sketch Skweezy-Moosh, which featured her wildly jumping around in women’s shapewear, and was included in the 2022 Vermont Comedy Festival. Her favorite color is seafoam green.

J.J. Ellis

J.J. Ellis has been writing sketches for a long time. Sometime, he also finds himself on stage and hosts Decent Exposure Radio on WXLV. Fake commercial “Pepstone Auto Repair” was honored at the Allentown Film Festival in 2023, which was nice. He has big dreams and wants to do so much in this world, but he just can’t stop writing sketches. Pigeon City is the culmination of his wasted potential. Enjoy!

He’s a founding member of Pigeon City, has trained with UCB in New York and teaches sketch comedy writing at Steelstacks.
