Ophira Eisenberg is a Canadian-born standup comedian, writer, and host. Frequently heard on the Moth, as both storyteller and host, she also hosted NPR’s comedy trivia show Ask Me Another for 9-years. Ophira has appeared on Comedy Central, This Week at The Comedy Cellar, Kevin Hart’s LOL Network, HBO’s Girls, Gotham Live, The Late Late Show, The Today Show, and VH-1. The New York Times called her a skilled comedian and storyteller with “bleakly stylish” humor. She was also selected as one of New York Magazine’s “Top 10 Comics that Funny People Find Funny,” and hailed by Forbes.com as one of the most engaging comics working today.
Birmingham native Amanda Goldstein Marks can turn the minuscule or mundane into a monumentally funny shtick. Amanda performs stand-up comedy, produces and hosts comedy shows and co-hosts the award-winning Sis & Tell Podcast. She has opened for comedians Jessica Kirson and Judy Gold and was a finalist in the 2022 Ladies Room Comedy Festival at Broadway Comedy Club and was featured on NPR's City Lights with Lois Reitzes. Amanda's comedy is like your favorite bbq brisket, both unquestionably Southern and Jewish.
Jeff Greenspan is a native New Yorker now living in Chattanooga. Before moving south, Jeff wrote for filmmaker Michael Moore and performed regularly at Gotham and StandUp NY. He’s appeared on Netflix and at the Limestone, and Red Clay comedy festivals.
For three years, Jeff produced and hosted Chattanooga’s Carpetbagger’s Comedy Night, a bi-weekly showcase of NYC comics and Southeast faves. The show regularly drew sold-out crowds until it closed on its 3rd anniversary in October 2023. He now co-runs Chattanooga’s Don’t Tell Comedy shows.
Jeff’s also been behind many comedic (and questionably legal) art and activism projects shared by millions online and covered widely by the press.
Becca Rothman (or Rebecca, when she’s not onstage) is a Baltimore-born, Alabama-based mom of two teenagers, has had more professions than she can count - including in architecture, finance, real estate, politics, and now comedy. She is also Birmingham's swing producer with The Moth, and is the host and producer of the Sunday Story Seven, a monthly storytelling show.
