NEMA WILLIAMS
A huge part of Recovery is connection. Laughter is a great way to connect, which few can elicit better than their Headliner, the ridiculously funny, talented, and raw NEMA WILLIAMS. Nema is one of the most well-respected veterans in the comedy game and embodies Stand Up 4 Recovery’s mission: the alchemy of turning pain into laughter. Nema’s real life experiences are sure to resonate as audiences roar with laughter! He’s appeared on Comedy Central, Martin Lawrence Presents 1st Amendment, The Apollo, Comic View Allstars, and the Bad Boys of Comedy on HBO just to name a few. Follow on IG @nemawilliams
WALKER HAYS
Featuring is the outstanding comedienne and actress WALKER HAYS! According to Hayes herself, “I’m a Baltimore born artist with a passion for anything Old Bay and Ravens, both NFL and Edgar Allan Poe. You might’ve seen me on FOX, Netflix or traveling the country opening for comics who are much more famous than me. And maybe you’ve heard my jokes being told by boys on Late Night TV because I have far too many jokes about testicles to keep them all to myself.” Walker has had some great articles on sobriety published on Medium.
