Originally hailing from San Francisco, CA, Caitlin Peluffo is a comedian based in NYC. After a brief six year stint in art school studying performative video art (no, really…that’s a thing) Caitlin expanded her talents to the stage. She’s opened for comedians, Maria Bamford, Fortune Feimster, Matteo Lane, and Brian Regan. She’s been featured everywhere from the world famous Comedy Cellar in the Big Apple to clubs nationwide talking about how she came to be such a lovable loose cannon.
Caitlin has been featured on the Late Show with Stephen Colbert, The Late Late Show with James Corden, 2022’s Just For Laughs Festival, and has hosted her weekly podcast, Good Time Gal with Caitlin Peluffo for over three years. She has also been featured on Comedy Central’s “Featuring” series, and has a Don’t Tell Comedy Set with over 150k views on YouTube. With Caitlin, no subject is off limits, however, she did make a promise to her mother that she would never, ever discuss that one time she took those ‘whorish, yet tastefully executed’ photos for a guy she used to bang in the military. She may be a patriot, but a promise is a promise.

Our pal Erin is moving away!
Join us for two evenings in celebrating Erin Depke as she moves on to bigger and better things.
Erin has quickly become one of the best comedians in the Midwest during her time in Bloomington and has performed in numerous comedy festivals around the country- all before graduating college.
Her rise as a Bloomington comedian will culminate this summer as Erin was selected to be a featured performer in the 11th Annual Limestone Comedy Festival- no small feat considering there were over 600 applicants and only 35 spots to fill.
Erin will be joined by her comedy pals Emily Davis, Eric Hook, Grant Volkmar, Joey Cerone, Jonas Schrodt, Shanda Sung and Stephanie Lochbihler. This will be a blast!
