2023 Artists
Masters of Ceremony
MONTE BELMONTE
Monte Belmonte is the fake name of a person who was a long-time radio host at 93.9 The River by day and President of the Board of the Shea by night (and sometimes day). He will soon start work at New England Public Media!
PAM VICTOR
Pam Victor is a professional improviser, author, teacher, and founder and president of Happier Valley Comedy, which continues its mission to share laughter, joy, and ease with the Pioneer Valley (and the world) with their THROUGH LAUGHTER online professional and personal development programs...and now as a happiness coach too! As the Head of Happiness, happiness is literally Pam Victor's job. (How cool is that?) Currently, she's collecting people to join her in the next session of HVC's online program "Resilience Training Through Joy: The 30-Day Happiness Experiment." More at www.happiervalley.com
KELSEY FLYNN
Before March 2020, Kelsey Flynn was a comedian and improviser who performed in lots of places including right here in the Pioneer Valley at Happier Valley Comedy, PaintBox Theatre, and the ol' Peking Garden in Hadley. But since March 2020, she hasn't been doing that stuff too much and instead is finding new ways to release her inner artist like making up songs with her kids about poop farmers and breaking plates in her basement. She looks forward to performing on a live stage again sometime soon...hopefully. In the meantime, sometimes you can still hear her voice on WRSI, 93.9 The River, just not all the time.
