Rosebud Baker is a New York-based comedian, writer, and actress, who is currently on the writing staff for the award-winning sketch-comedy series Saturday Night Live in its 48th season. Her début hour stand-up special Whiskey Fists, produced by Bill Burr’s All Things Comedy, premiered on Comedy Central Digital in 2021. The special was a hit with fans and critics alike, as Vulture featured Rosebud in “Comedians You Should and Will Know in 2022.” The New Yorker included her in their annual list of “Best Jokes of 2021” and Rolling Stone gushed that her humor “ranges from merciless self-excavation to slashing social satire graced by intelligence and nuance.” She can be seen in the recurring role of MERI in the new Hulu series Life and Beth alongside Amy Schumer and Michael Cera, and she is a writer and performer on HBO Max’s WGA Award-nominated sketch series That Damn Michael Che.

Kelsey Cook is the daughter of an International Yo-Yo Champion and a Professional Foosball player, which made for a humor-filled life at a young age. Kelsey’s stand-up special was recently released on EPIX’s Unprotected Sets. She made her late-night début on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, followed by A Little Late with Lilly Singh on NBC. Her other television appearances include Comedy Central’s This is Not Happening, AXS TV Presents Gotham Comedy Live, Punchline on FOX, Uproarious on FUSE, and Greatest Party Story Ever on MTV. She is currently on “The Hustler Tour,” headlining forty cities across the country. Cook splits her time between Los Angeles and New York where she is a paid regular at The Comedy Cellar, The Stand, Gotham Comedy Club, The Laugh Factory, and the Comedy and Magic Club.
