He has been reviewed by numerous media outlets including The New York Times, Onion AV Club, GQ UK, and more. His album Established 1981 came out in September of 2017 on Comedy Central records “Mr. Torres has a laconic drawling delivery with deliberate pacing, placing him firmly in the tradition of dry deadpan specialist like Tig Notaro and Todd Barry. But his style is warmer, relying on punchlines with corkscrew turns that have moments of vulnerability and even melancholy.” — The New York Times. He lives in Brooklyn, New York.

Caitlin Reese is a Queens-based comedian and writer who is not pulling any punches about her mental health, disabilities, or chronic gay condition. She has a comedy album, Erotic Associate, available on all streaming platforms. Notably, Caitlin was a Finalist on Amazon Prime’s Comics Watching Comics, featured on Best of Helium Comedy Records Volume 2, published in The Onion, and her pilot, In June, made it as a finalist in Robert McKee’s Scriptapoolza 2022. She regularly performs at comedy clubs in NYC and has been in a million festivals, including the HBO Women in Comedy Fest, Limestone, New York Comedy Festival, and Laughing Skull. She has opened for Kevin McDonald, Michael Ian Black, and Joe DeRosa. In her former life, she was a social worker and ran a rape crisis center in Connecticut. She also used to perform undercover animal rights investigations, likely due to the guilt of putting her childhood cat in bonnets.
