The Red Room at Cap City: Josh Martier & Ben Staab Album Recording
Josh Martier is a stand up comedian based in New York City by way of Philadelphia. He was the 2025 winner of Helium’s Philly’s Phunniest competition, and performs regularly at Helium Comedy Club as well as local clubs, bars and just about anywhere a microphone can be plugged in - from packed theaters to laundromats. Recently he opened for James Donald Forbes McCann and has previously worked with headlining acts such as Chris Kattan, Ted Alexandro and AJ Wilkerson. Known for his observational, dense comedic writing style, he wants nothing more than to make you laugh so hard you forget you had to pay for parking.
Ben Staab, the rising star of Philadelphia’s comedy scene, brings sharp wit, personal storytelling, and a relentless energy to every stage he touches. A two-time finalist in Philly’s Phunniest competition, Staab has cemented his reputation as one of the city’s must-see comics. He performs regularly at top clubs like The Stand in New York City, Helium Comedy Club, and Stress Factory, where his unique mix of clever observations and grounded humor always leaves audiences laughing. Staab has shared the stage with some of comedy’s best, including Geoff Asmus, Mark Normand, Joe List, Mike Cannon, and Lisa Ann Walter. Beyond the stage, he co-hosts the wildly entertaining podcast Ayo, Actually! alongside Na’im Ali, where the duo dives into outrageous stories, conspiracies, and unfiltered takes that showcase their undeniable chemistry. Ben Staab is a comedian who leaves a lasting impression in any room he goes.
