Born in Brooklyn and raised in an orthodox Jewish home, Namer was married by 17 and divorced by 20 (it’s a long story – come see my set!). Inspired by Sarah Silverman and Larry David, Namer brings her unique point of view of life to her comedy that has been described as “funny, honest, authentic, and sarcastic.”

Offstage, Bloomstone is a multi-faceted screenwriter who has penned an action-comedy feature, and continues to write pilots targeted for streaming services.
Rachel McCartney: Rachel McCartney is a New York-based standup comedian and writer with a dark, personal, punchline-heavy style of humor. She has written TV-friendly jokes for Jonathan Corbblah on GSN’s Master Minds, and TV-unfriendly jokes for Twitter (where she has amassed over 80K followers). She is a regular at New York Comedy Club and has opened for Gary Gulman several times on the road.
