The Host Harrison Greenbaum  is described by Time Out New York as “the hardest working man in comedy”, one of the most in-demand comics in the United States and performs more than 600 shows a year. Its Harrison’s quick wit, which makes him the perfect master host for The Unbelievables. Hecklers beware!

​Sos and Victoria Petrosyan - The Transformationalists
One of the kids favorite Sos and Victoria are a husband and wife duo like no other! The award winning duo combine fashion, stage-craft and sleight-of-hand to dazzle audiences all over the world.

Tony Award Winner Jay Johnson had us all in stitches! The one-man duet who has perfected his craft over 30 years is the best of the best when it comes to entertaining the audience.  To date Jay has hosted three comedy specials, produced and performed in two network television specials, two HBO specials, hundreds of guest appearances and starred in four television series.
