Jake Piskor has been doing stand-up in Buffalo since 2017. It only took him nine years to become Buffalo's Funniest Person. He won that honor on Sunday, July 19 and never has to compete in that contest again. Whether it's his thirst for more details or his mustache, he's found himself on the receiving end of several unique encounters with strangers -- adding fuel to his on-stage material. He joined his high school friend and former Buffalo's Funniest Person, Jake Samson, to help run the Rust Belt Comedy Showcase at Nietzsche's.

Bob McClure likes comedy and baseball. It's tough to know which one he likes more, though those 1990s Indians teams grabbed hold pretty tightly. He graduated college with a theater degree and moved to Los Angeles in 2017. He got a crash course in stand-up comedy and was able to get regular work before coming back to Akron, Ohio. He's a big part of the Cleveland chapter of the International Roast Battle League. He's got a wife and a daughter now and they're preparing to move to Vancouver in Canada at the end of June. Once he settles in, it's time to learn a new comedy scene.

Eric Camp has been doing standup in the Binghamton, N.Y., area for two years. He played in punk bands growing up and made fun of the other bands and scene kids from the stage. He started to go to local comedy shows and attended the open mics for about a year as an audience member before taking the stage. The study time has paid off because he's one of the hardest-working comedians in the area. He's also a Thomas J. Watson Elementary School graduate, just like Mike Peters. It's a very big deal.

He began his career in Chicago and considers himself, in hindsight, the worst comedian there for a few years.

Trebor Finnegan has been doing stand-up in Buffalo since 2023. He was a funny, shy kid in Dallas before moving to Buffalo when he was 14. He's only 28 now, but he's established himself as one of the scene's top rising comics. He just took second place at Buffalo's Funniest Person contest at Helium Comedy Club. Not bad for a dude with a fake first name.

In just four years, he's climbed the steps to become the 2025 winner of the Philly's Phunniest Person contest in August. He moved to Brooklyn and is ready to start at the bottom again. His old days as an athlete have given him a competitive edge and he's been able to provide the work ethic to match it.

Serena Thiel is has been letting life take her where she feels comfortable -- and it's working out for her. She started doing stand-up in Bozeman, Mont., in 2020 with her friend, Alex Kaufman. After a couple years off, she opted not to go to Mexico while traveling and stayed in Austin, Texas. She got back on stage and found herself doing really well on Kill Tony in March. They invited her to perform at their show in Madison Square Garden. That went well, too. She's approaching comedy like a job now in hopes that she can put off having to get a real one.

He started the Spacement open mic that got shut down because there were too many people, which created a fire hazard -- ironically.

Binghamton comedian Bill Lake stopped by to talk about the new comedy club, The Boho, that's opening on Friday, Nov. 8, and how he developed his style on stage. He wrote jokes for Late Night with David Letterman, the Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson and Saturday Night Live before finding a home on the stage. Lake has worked at clubs and comedy festivals all over the East Coast.
