See Jiaoying Summers at The Comedy Vault from September 17-19, 2026!

TICKETS GO ON SALE FRIDAY 6/19 at 10AM

Jiaoying Summers recently released her Hulu comedy special What Specie Are You? Named one of Variety’s “10 Comics to Watch” (2025), Summers shines in her debut stand-up hour as she explores what divides us, what unites us, and what belonging truly means. Drawing from her life as a first-generation immigrant, she turns cultural clashes, identity, and motherhood into razor-sharp comedy that resonates across continents.

An award-winning performer and inductee of the Asian Hall of Fame, Jiaoying is emerging as one of the most influential Asian voices in comedy. She made history as the first Chinese comedian to headline and sell out the Apollo Theater in New York City. With more than 1 billion views across social media and over 5 million followers, she is a digital powerhouse known for viral hits like her “Uber Karen” sketch and her comedic breakdowns of English names from a Chinese perspective.

Beyond the stage, Jiaoying is the creator and host of the hit podcast Tiger Mom, where she interviews comedians, artists, and cultural figures in intimate, unfiltered conversations. She is also a successful entrepreneur: the former Miss China now owns and operates The Hollywood Comedy and The Green Room Comedy Café, creating platforms for diverse and underrepresented comedic talent.

Jiaoying Summers delivers fearless, modern commentary on identity, race, and gender to audiences worldwide, making her one of the boldest, most dynamic, and unmissable comedians working today.

VIP Admission includes: Preferred seating in the first 3 rows and a post-show Meet and Greet.

See John Caparulo LIVE @ The Comedy Vault on Sunday, September 27th, 2026.

A comedian known for his sharp wit, unique delivery, and brilliant affinity for cuss words, John Caparulo is a seasoned comic whose dry, no-nonsense Midwestern sensibility endears him to audience members of all kinds. He began his comedy career performing in clubs in Cleveland and Pittsburgh in the late ‘90s before coming to Hollywood to hone his skills on stage and work the door at the legendary Comedy Store.

Caparulo's breakout performance at Montreal's Just for Laughs in 2003 led to spots on The Late Late Show with Craig Kilborn, The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, Jimmy Kimmel Live, and he appeared over 150 times as a panelist on Chelsea Handler’s popular E! show Chelsea Lately.

His profile continued to rise with live performances on the Blue Collar Comedy Tour: The Next Generation, Vince Vaughn's Wild West Comedy Tour, Ron White’s Salute To The Troops, and the Showtime special Unsportsmanlike Comedy with Rob Gronkowski.

He voiced the character of “Headphone Joe” on Disney’s Fish Hooks, played the part of “Brian” on the ABC sitcom Work It, was the host of Mobile Home Disaster on CMT, and hosted numerous radio shows and podcasts on Sirius XM, All Things Comedy, and more. He was brilliantly cast as the irritated spokesperson for Edge Shave Gel’s nationwide “Anti-Irritation” campaign.

Comedy Central aired his 1/2 hour special in 2006 and his first full-length special, Meet Cap, in 2008. Netflix then distributed Meet Cap, and later, Come Inside Me, in 2013. In 2014, Cap decided it was time to take a different approach to sharing his comedy with the world. He launched a series called Caplets on Hulu, for which Cap recorded short standup sets and released a new episode every 30 days. The concept was simple but innovative for the time… “singles instead of albums.” Cap has continued this format for the past decade, only pausing during the pandemic to produce Un-Capped Comedy, a live-streaming show with the audience choosing the topics for him to improvise. Caesars Entertainment signed Cap to a headlining residency in 2018. He and his family moved from Calabasas, CA to Las Vegas, and he performed over 500 shows at Harrah’s. John Caparulo’s Mad Cap Comedy ran 5 nights a week until its unexpected demise as a result of the covid-19 shutdowns. Now he’s back on the strip headlining exclusively at Jimmy Kimmel’s Comedy Club during the week, while touring nationally on the weekends.

And on top of his commitments to being a great dad and a mediocre husband, Cap has written an outlandish comic book series based on his family. Cartoon Comic is available for purchase at JohnCaparulo.com

See Matthew Broussard LIVE @ The Comedy Vault Batavia from October 1-3, 2026.

Matthew Broussard is a disgraced financial analyst forced into stand up comedy. The byproduct of a Cajun chemist and Jewish microbiologist, he holds a degree in computational mathematics he always manages to bring up (just did it!) and is fully aware of how douchey he looks. His comedy is heady, self-effacing, and weirdly… educational? He's performed on the Tonight Show, Conan, Jeff Ross Presents Roast Battle, the Comedy Central Half Hour, and some stuff with MTV2 he doesn’t like to talk about. You can catch him in The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, The League, The Mindy Project, and alongside Billy Crystal and Tiffany Haddish in the film Here Today. He is the creator of the webcomic and puzzle app, Monday Punday.

See Joseph Lombardo AKA Porkchopz LIVE @ The Comedy Vault Batavia on October 11, 2026.

Joseph Lombardo, aka Porkchopz, is blowing up across the internet for one reason—he says what everybody’s thinking and doesn’t give a damn who’s in the room. With over 300,000 followers and 50+ viral videos pulling in millions of views, he’s built a ruthless fanbase that lives for his signature callouts of “louuuzzza’z” and “reetahdz.”

Repping his brand PorkchopzComedy, Joseph brings a raw, New York Italian, no-holds-barred energy to every stage he touches. He’s performed at legendary spots like the Laugh Factory and The Comedy Store, and has opened for major headliners—but make no mistake, he’s not there to warm up the crowd… he’s there to take it over. A staple at Governor’s Comedy Club on Long Island—his home club and the place where he became a problem—Joseph built his name in front of live crowds, turning regular shows into chaos and leaving audiences roasted, shocked, and coming back for more. His style? Aggressive crowd work, savage roasts, and zero filter. Nobody’s safe, nothing’s off-limits, and the audience is part of the show whether they like it or not. It’s loud, it’s reckless, it’s real—and somehow, it’s all in good fun.

If you can’t take a joke, stay home. If you can—you’re in for a night you won’t forget.

Deep-cut fans love getting a glimpse of the "real Jerry" in his hilariously relatable and refreshingly vulnerable podcast, The Reckon Yard — a self-examination of his life, relationships, and Southern piney woods upbringing, told through the vehicles and junkyard lessons that shaped him. Now in its fourth season, The Reckon Yard has already landed a two-book deal for Season 1 — with full audio, TV, and film sub-rights.

Steve Hofstetter is returning to The Comedy Vault Batavia for a 3rd time on Saturday, April 10th!

Author, columnist, and comedian Steve Hofstetter is often called the hardest working man in show-business. With all due respect to the late James Brown.

Hofstetter's national TV debut came on ESPN's Quite Frankly, where Stephen A. Smith yelled at him for three minutes. Hofstetter has also appeared on CBS' "Late Late Show With Craig Ferguson", Showtime's "White Boyz in the Hood", VH1's "Countdown", Sundance's "On the Road in America", and ABC's "Barbara Walter's Special", where he thankfully did not cry. He is the host and executive producer of "Laughs" on Fox networks, where he only cries occasionally.

One of the top booked acts on the college circuit, the original writer for collegehumor.com has also released six albums. Hofstetter has written humor columns for the New York Times, SportsIllustrated.com, and NHL.com, where he publicly admitted to being a Ranger fan.

After hosting Four Quotas on Sirius Satellite Radio for two seasons, Hofstetter moved to broadcast radio, and his Sports Minute (Or So) was syndicated on over 170 stations and in over 30 newspapers. Hofstetter's second live comedy album ("Cure For the Cable Guy") reached #20 on Billboard's comedy charts. His third album ("Dark Side of the Room") was the first ever pay-what-you-want" comedy album, since people were going to steal it anyway. His fouth album consisted of an hour of 100% ad-libbed material, which is, frankly, nuts. And his fifth album hit #1 on iTunes' comedy charts, which is also a bit nuts.

Hofstetter's brutal tour schedule consists of over 100 colleges and dozens of clubs every year, and is fueled by an immense online popularity, tons of press, and a Prius with great gas mileage. He reached 200,000 friends on Facebook (still the world record), 400,000 more on MySpace, and high shelves in grocery stores.

While Hofstetter's live shows are routinely sold out, he is best known for his writing, first published at age 15, mainly to impress girls. At 18, he co-founded "Sports Jerk of the Week", an irreverent website featured by press like USA Today's Baseball Weekly, Sports Illustrated and CNN. And at 20, Hofstetter took a year off of school to head up web content for the New York Yankees. The Yankees won the World Series that year, which would have been wonderful if they hadn't beaten Hofstetter's Mets. Yes, he's also a Mets fan. Poor kid.

While an undergraduate at Columbia University, Hofstetter was a well-read columnist for the Columbia Daily Spectator and a voice of the Lions. After a summer writing for Maxim, ESPN, and Sports Illustrated for Kids, Hofstetter syndicated his column in several newspapers.

Without his glasses, Hofstetter also looks a great deal like Michael Rappaport.
