About the Comics

Ashley Mayo

Ashley Mayo is a native Washingtonian who has been working the comic circuit in the DMV area for the past 8 years.  She studied at the Studio Theatre acting conservatory and began her career in comedy shortly after graduating.  Check out her groundbreaking situation comedy called “Bipolar Stories: A Mental Health Comedy Series” on IGTV at @mayo_thegreat.

Jordan Segue

Jordan Segue started performing while he was living in San Francisco, determined to release himself from the static of working in Silicon Valley, Jordan stumbled into standup comedy as an effective creative outlet. Jordan's style is that of a deadpan, thought-provoking, and respectfully irreverent storyteller. His favorite things are Michigan football (Go Blue!), his 16 inch cast iron wok, and his detailed spreadsheet of just the 137 restaurants that he would recommend in the DC area. 

Mike Kurtz

Mike Kurtz, a PG county native, earned a permanent spot on D.C.’s famous list of things to do after having the idea to put on outdoor comedy shows during the pandemic. In June, as the region slowly began to reopen during a drop in COVID-19 cases, Kurtz got a friend in Northern Virginia to lend his backyard for an outdoor comedy show. This idea morphed into what is now called Cry Baby DC, and by mid-summer (and 200 shows later), his shows were spilling out of his friend’s backyard and into an alley near Wonderland Ballroom on Kenyon Street NW.
