Headliner: Tracy Locke Bringing a unique blend of “all-American girl next door” charm and devilish charisma, Tracy Locke is a comedic force of nature. A Philadelphia native and former WNFL player, Locke’s high-speed storytelling takes audiences on a roller-coaster ride through her eclectic life—from the jungles of Southeast Asia to the gridiron. Her sharp insights into sports, dating, and her suburban roots have made her a fan favorite across the country.
Feature: Dave Evans Adding a hilarious twist to the lineup is Dave Evans. Hailing from Cherry Hill, NJ, Evans made the jump from the world of professional accounting to the comedy stage. His transition from CPA to stand-up comic brings a relatable and clever perspective that proves life is often funnier than fiction.
Host: Keith Purnell Guiding the night is one of Delaware’s fastest-rising stars, Keith Purnell. Known for his quick wit and high-energy style, Purnell is a winner of the Howard Stern “Kill or Be Killed” competition and a Philadelphia Regional winner in the Sierra Mist Next Great Comic search. With appearances on Last Comic Standing, Purnell has cemented his reputation as a premier talent in the comedy circuit.
