The B4uDie Squad is heading out to the backwoods of Talkeetna to make the funny happen. This show is an exciting mix of hilarious national comedians, returning festival alumni and some talented Alaskan comedians.

Thursday April 2nd: Tickets!

Hayden Kristal: You could call Hayden Kristal a horse girl, but they prefer neigh/them. Hayden’s quick wit and cheerful self-deprecation has earned them a spot as an America’s Got Talent semifinalist, a headlining show at Netflix is a Joke, roles on Adult Swim/HBOMax’s Tuca and Bertie, and over two million followers on social media. When not on the road, Hayden lives on a farm in Colorado with equine-pals Chicken Elizabeth Nugget, Squidward, Debbi From Accounting, and Donkey Devito.

Bailey Tyler is a Denver-based comedian who’s a regular at Comedy Works and has taken her absurd perspective on everything from American politics to body image issues on tour across the country. With a knack for making the strange and awkward hilarious, she’s graced stages at the Black Hills Comedy Festival and Alaska’s B4UDie Festival. She is widely recognized as the “Rowdiest Member of the Reese Witherspoon Book Club” Colorado chapter, a title she hopes to take internationally.

Sean Beagan is a Denver-based comedian who’s taken his awkward life stories and quick zingers on an international comedy tour. A winner of the 2013 Boca Raton Comedy Festival and a finalist at the 2012 Comedy Central South Beach Festival, he’s no stranger to the spotlight—or to awkward situations. With a style that mixes manic storytelling and sharp punchlines, he’s also a writer and director, with two feature films under his belt. The Flower Tapes and Guffpunch (which is streaming on Amazon Prime and Google Play) have earned him spots in both national and international film festivals—proving he’s just as good at making movies as he is at making you laugh at his chaos.

Stephen Henry began his stand-up comedy career in Tampa, FL, and has toured throughout Florida and the southeast regularly ever since. Henry’s style of comedy is quick, smart, and dark, yet oddly relatable.

Katelyn Owens was born and raised in Alaska, and has performed all over the state and as far as the Edinburgh Fringe. Recently, she defected to the Lower 48 but is so pumped to be back to participate in the incomparable B4uDie Fest! In he spare time she teaches middle school and gets impulsive tattoos.
