Jake Naly
Featured act at Off the Wall - April 28, 2010
Jake Naly is one of the Maryland scene’s best and hardest-working young comedians - his stoner-friendly, one-liner heavy act has drawn countless comparisons to Mitch Hedberg, but Jake’s got a hat all his own and has opened for Rob Cantrell.
Seaton Smith
1x featured act, co-headlined Off the Wall on April 6, 2010 w/Aparna Nancherla.
Smith is currently based in New York and recently taped his first DVD, “A Moment in Black Hipstery.” He has been featured at the Just for Laughs Comedy Festival in Montreal, the Laughing Skull Comedy Festival and on the Opie and Anthony Traveling Virus tour.
Hampton Yount
2x headliner, 4x featured act. Headlined Off the Wall’s Open Mic Challenge II on February 24, 2010, and Off the Wall’s Stand-Up Comedy Rally on April 7, 2009.
The most-requested guest in Off the Wall history, Yount is also the writer of the webcomic Rob & Elliot. He is currently based out of Los Angeles and has been seen at the Bentzen Ball Comedy Festival, the Bridgetown Comedy Festival in Portland, and the Laughing Skull Comedy Festival, along with appearing on G4 and contributing writing for Chelsea Lately. His debut CD, Unbearable, was recorded at the Comedy Spot in Virginia in early 2010.

Tyler Richardson
3x featured act, Co-headlined Off the Wall w/Matt Baetz - April 4, 2011
An OTW favorite, Tyler was the featured act in the only Off the Wall show that was deemed a fire hazard, when more than 140 people attended the 90-capacity Queen Anne’s Lounge, resulting in several people watching from windowsills and outside of open doors. He has been featured at FunnyFest in Calgary and performed with Off the Wall and Reggie Watts in March 2010 before returning to co-headline a year later.
Reggie Watts
Headlined Off the Wall’s Big Deal Comedy Show on March 31, 2010.

Co-headlined Off the Wall w/Jermaine Fowler - March 8, 2010
