Steve Hofstetter, Founder

Danny McDermott, Founder
Danny McDermott is originally from Albany, with a B.S. in Ceramic Engineering from Alfred University. No, that's not a joke. It's a real degree. A dramatic actor since 1987, he recieved accolades from various newspapers in Alfred (NY) and Lima (Ohio) for his performances. Aside from guest hosting Barbara Walters' "The View" on ABC with 20/20's Jon Stostle, McDermott has also appeared on Comedy Central, the Queen Latifah Show, and in several commercials. You can see him performing stand-up all over the city, especially at Stand Up NY, the Underground Lounge, and Nevada Smith's. His duties with the Soap Box include overseeing the day-to-day operation of the clubs and auditioning new talent, among other things.
Sue Kelly, Comedian Recruiter
A few years ago Sue gave stand-up comedy a try, and she's been hooked ever since! A Philadelphia native, she has performed in many comedy clubs in the Philadelphia area and on the east coast. She also was a finalist in The World Series of Comedy competition at the Pittsburgh Funny Bone. She has met so many cool people and new friends through comedy that she found one of her favorite things to do was to share opportunties with others. This is what led to her becoming a Comedian Recruiter for the Soapbox. She also works as a computer help desk analyst (now you know why she performs stand-up comedy!!).
Dan Wilbur, Content Coordinator, Videos
Recently deemed the smartest man alive by himself and this other guy, Dan Wilbur is a New York-based comedian and writer. As a former student at a hipster college, Dan has learned hipster ways and witnessed hipster deeds. As a result, his material ranges from pot to poilitics to this one time he convinced all his friends that he invented the Spork. Constantly frustrated with the world’s stupidity, Dan’s clever stand-up will shield you from the drudgery of modern existence, rather than pull you down to his level of pettiness and boredom.
Dan's writing is featured on Collegehumor.com, TheApiary.org, Comedy Central Insider, and The-Minusworld.com. Dan is the recipient of William Paterson University’s “Funniest College Stand-up,” and was featured in the 2009 North Carolina Comedy Arts Festival. He currently works at Comix in New York.

In 2007 he was a semifinalist in HBO's Lucky 21 Contest. He's appeared in a few movies including playing a Nazi Soldier in "Valkyre" and "Inglorious Basterds" but has suffered a severe case of Hitler Elbow.

Brent Dawson, Regional Administrator, Texas
Voted audience favorite and one of the winners of 2006’s Funniest Person in Dallas contest- Brent Dawson’s ability to riff on the serious and not so serious topics of life is the reason he is building a reputation as one of the most entertaining comics on the scene. The former Nazarene minister and special education teacher’s interesting life experiences, sharp timing, and conversational style has made him a favorite among club audiences throughout the southwest for the past 6 years. During Brent’s set, cultural targets are dissected into intelligently written manic rants delivered in a seamless style. He has crafted an honest mix of politically incorrect mass appeal, sure to be remembered and guaranteed to entertain.
Brent’s talented performances coupled with his well constructed material has earned him a special showcase at the Dallas Comedy Festival, a spot as a finalist at the American College Theater Festival three years running and is featured regularly on the popular web-site DailyComedy.com.
His ever evolving act is sometimes topical, often autobiographical, at times poignant, mostly true and of course very funny. Brent Dawson is a one-of-a-kind.
Currently, Brent is a regional administrator for comedysoapbox.com for the Dallas/Fort Worth region.
