His conversational style and sharp timing make his shows feel like catching up with an old friend. Collin performs nationwide\, including The Comedy & Magic Club\, Pittsburgh Improv\, Helium Comedy Club\, and the historic Caroline’s on Broadway\, where he headlined. \nHe was featured at the prestigious Lucille Ball Comedy Festival at the National Comedy Center and recently performed at the 2024 Netflix Is A Joke Festival alongside Jessica Kirson and Ryan Hamilton.

His work is regularly featured on SiriusXM\, showcasing the widespread appeal of his comedy. \nSpecial Viewings of Jesters and Fools \nJesters and Fools\, a documentary short by filmmaker Rob Feld\, uses the power of science and good\, old-fashioned humor to demonstrate how media creates the false idea that America is ideologically fractured and beyond repair. Through the research of Duke University social scientist Chris Bail\, and observations by acclaimed comedians\, we learn how our perceptions of the national discourse have been twisted\, and how the truth is far more complicated and hopeful than we are led to believe. \nJazz 180 \nJazz 180 is an exciting band in the Philly area playing all forms of jazz and standards.  They cover everything from Coltrane and Miles to Herbie Hancock and Antonio Carlos Jobim. \nChris Huff \nChris Huff is a singer\, songwriter\, guitarist\, and producer.  He has performed on stages as diverse as Carnegie Hall and CBGBs and with artists as diverse as Peter Yarrow (Peter\, Paul\, & Mary)\, Echo and The Bunnymen\, Chuck Hammer (Lou Reed/David Bowie)\, and Broadway composer Tom Kitt (Next To Normal) and lyricist Amanda Green (Hands On A Hardbody w Trey Anastasio).  Originally from NYC\, he has made the Philadelphia area his home for the last 20 years.  His two albums North Cathedral Way and Death And Texas are available on the streaming services and his current original project Eelaware will be releasing new music shortly. \nPatrick Bamburak & Reina Williams \nPatrick Bamburak is a veteran recording artist\, touring musician\, songwriter\, producer\, actor and radio personality\, hosting Patrick Bamburak’s Night Music on NEWHD New York\, which broadcasts Fridays\, from 10pm to Midnight Eastern\, on NEWHD New York Radio\, www.newhdmedia.com.
