Maryellen Raimondi
Maryellen moved to the big city 13 years ago for improv and acting. She performed for many years, but life happens! With the suggestion of a dear improv friend, she tried stand-up for the very first time, in February of 2020. We all know how this shit sails...! Through the storm came the birth of her podcast, "In The Shower With Maryellen!" Be a doll, pass the loofah, and subscribe to her YouTube! xO! Diabetes has effected her life because she was once 230lbs. Doctor told her she was borderline diabetic and needed to lose weight. Lost a bunch, but hoping to never go down the diabetic corkscrew of her weight roller coaster. Her FIL is diabetic. She is an amazing baker, thank you! Not so great when you try to cut a man off from a piece of cheesecake!

Patrick Newson
As the younger brother of a sister with diabetes, he spent many a day in the hospital. Weekends and after school were spent sitting in a hospital waiting room. After a while of getting bored, he picked up puppets and began performing small shows for whoever would watch. It was then that Patrick's love of comedy began. He loved watching the smiling faces of people who would otherwise be sad or depressed. Many years later as a stand up/improviser, he still enjoys bringing smiles to people's faces. He has spent time in some of the greatest theaters in the country. Second City, IO Chicago, and The Comedy Store. Patrick looks forward to taking all of these experiences and doing some good for the people who suffer from diabetes.
