Roz Hernandez (she/her) is a multi-talented transgender entertainer, comedian, actor, and host. She is a series regular on Hulu's hit show, "Living for the Dead", executive-produced by Kristen Stewart. Her podcast "Ghosted!", where celebrity guests discuss ghost stories, psychic experiences and "all things that go BUMP in the night," was named one of Vulture magazine's Best Comedy Podcasts of 2022. Roz has honed her comedic craft on stages across the country. For an impressive four years, she hosted a monthly show at the iconic Hollywood Improv. She also regularly graces renowned venues such as Largo, Dynasty Typewriter, Elysian Theater, and Permanent Records Roadhouse. Her infectious energy, style and humor have earned her a spot on "Watch What Happens Live" on Bravo in 2023. She's been featured on multiple top charting podcasts including "My Favorite Murder," "Lovett or Leave It" and Team Coco's "Scam Goddess." Roz lives in Los Angeles where she likes to collect kitschy antiques and bedazzle her extensive wardrobe in her spare time. 

Bo Johnson is a comedian from Seattle, Washington. He can be found headlining clubs, breweries, and appropriately sized theaters across the United States and Canada. His stand up has been featured on Netflix Is A Joke Radio, Kevin Hart Presents: Hart of the City on Comedy Central, Don’t Tell Comedy Secret Sets, and LOL Live! at the prestigious Just For Laughs comedy festival in Montreal. He was a finalist in the 39th annual Seattle International Comedy Competition and is a regular at festivals including Bumbershoot, SF Sketchfest, the Double Down Comedy Experience sponsored by Zappos, Life is Beautiful in Las Vegas, Rifflandia in Victoria BC, Prizefest, and Big Pine Comedy Festival in Phoenix. With a growing online audience Bo’s jokes have been viewed millions of times online.
Separate from stand up comedy one time Bo and his best friend from high school snuck into a movie theater as one person. That video was broadcast on TV shows like the now cancelled "Caught on Camera with Nick Cannon" on NBC and lowest rated daytime talk show at the time, "The Meredith Veira Show". Bo still gets messages each year from friends seeing the video go viral on different meme accounts. Numerous magazines and newspapers also wrote about the hijinks, including an article in Cosmopolitan titled, “Man Sneaks His BFF Into Movie Theater by Stuffing Him Into His Pants.” More recently Bo trained his roommates dog by walking her to Shania Twain's "Man! I feel like a Woman!" in a viral stunt earning over 7 millions views on Tik Tok and press coverage in both major and incredibly minor publications.
